reviewed Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine on January 27, 2009 Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine
This book was recommended to me by an openminded colleague. It was fascinating. If you believe that your doctors are prescribing drugs like candy...and think maybe there is something wrong with this picture...read this. It confirmed to me much of what I thought about all those statins being "miracle" drugs. I recommeded it for my graduate students to read. If more people and health practitioners would read books like this, they would become much more empowered with regard to taking charge of their health.
