Annotation
An internationally-recognized expert on the effects of medical testing shows us why more screening does not necessarily lead to better health, but in fact turns healthy people into patients. Exposing the overdiagnosis of everything from high blood pressure to prostate and breast cancer, Dr. Welch traces the social, ethical and economic ramifications of some of the worst excesses of medical practice.
