Bad Medicine

Taking a look at the history of medicine, this book argues that for more than 2300 years doctors have relied on their patients' misplaced faith in their ability to cure. It illustrates that, throughout history, bad medical practice has often been deeply entrenched and stubbornly resistant to evidence.
