[ 3.0 stars ] "Good read, although heavily biased and not at all acknowledging of the progress that HAS been made in the use of evidence based medicine, preferring to depict the majority of medical practitioners as greedy and profit driven rather than by desire to provide good evidence based care. A bit too sensationalist in that regard. Whomever edited the Kindle version did an atrocious job - it is distrac ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "Much like Well's Overdiagnosed, this breaks down flaws in the healthcare system from a provider's view. I am a nurse and work with insurance companies all day, so was very familiar with some of the frustrations expressed. I recommend this to any provider trying to understand why the system makes it so hard to heal patients. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "The author has nailed it! And the system is even more broken that it was when the book came out in 2006. I work in healthcare and I can tell you she is exactly right, especially when it comes to the smooth-talking pharma salesperson dispensing trinkets, food for the office, coffee cart, and more.
