In this eloquent and deeply researched book, Dr. David H. Newman argues that medicine focuses on the rewards of technology and science, exaggerating their benefits and ignoring or minimizing their perils. He sees a lack of candid communication between doctors and patients, a disregard for the healing power the doctor-patient bond that originated with Hippocrates, and, ultimately, a disconnect between doctors and their Hippocratic Oath.
