Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Hope or Hype is a fascinating look at how we approach new medical technologies and interventions in our medical system. It is extremely well-written and readable, both for medical professionals and the general public. He raises significant ethical issues that we must confront given the current and impending health-care expenditure crisis in this country. He also provides extensive historical examples of how we have introduced "innovative" healthcare treatments (in an uncontrolled way) that have proven to be unhelpful and often harmful. This is an important book for people within the health care service industry as well as for all consumers of health care in the United States.
