Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. One issue surely everyone agrees on is how important our health is. These days, thankfully, plenty of people are waking up to corruption in Big Pharma and other related wrongdoings, but there are still plenty of people who ain’t, or don’t know the details. Why? (Apart from it not being on the six o’clock news,) because most books that deal with the subject are the size of a castle’s doorstop- they’re too big and you’ll get around to them one day when you’re not feeling so lazy. So- Medical Industrial Complex is the short solution! It contains all those major well known (for anyone who has read up on these things) factors as well as lots of incidents and info that you won’t find elsewhere. It reads like a well informed and expertly crafted essay, but one that’s written openly, honestly and passionately; succinctly spotlighting those areas that are of the utmost importance -as the authors’ list: “Human guinea pigs / Medical fraud / Political ambitions superseding the health of the people / Suppressing cancer cures / Health insurers screwing customers / Toxic immunizations for children / Big Pharma making money at all costs / Hospital misadventures / Doctors receiving kickbacks / Overprescribing of prescription drugs / Sinking natural health products in a sea of red tape etc. etc.” Buy this book for people who don’t read books about this stuff. They might join the rest of us in realising we need to make some changes in our health care systems. And fast. (It also gets a bonus point for quoting The Psychedelic Furs.)

Complejo M?dico Industrial no es una cr?tica sin restricciones de la medicina convencional y los diferentes actores que componen una de las m?s grandes y rentables industria en el planeta. Incluyendo un pr?logo por parte del farmac?utico retirado Denis Toovey (autor de Better Health for You: An Insider's Big Picture Guide), este explosivo libro explora la discusi?n de que las Grandes Farmac?uticas y otros participantes en el sector del cuidado de la salud ponen las ganancias por delante del bienestar de los pacientes y los d?lares antes que las vidas. Complejo M?dico Industrial no deja duda de que algo malo ha sucedido en el campo m?dico y lo que debe ser la profesi?n m?s noble ha estado severamente comprometida por varios conflictos de inter?s. Los autores examinan esto en un lenguaje que cualquiera puede entender. En el proceso, hacen notar el desenfrenado mercantilismo, el ego?smo pol?tico y la academia dogm?tica que plaga a la industria. Se le recuerda al lector que existe mucha gente honorable en el negocio m?dico que est? haciendo cosas incre?bles por sus semejantes. Sin embargo, tambi?n se le recuerda que m?dicos, hospitales, la academia m?dica, las compa??as farmac?uticas, los proveedores de equipo m?dico, aseguradoras y otros hacen su dinero de gente enferma, no saludable, y si todo el mundo estuviera sano muchos de los arriba mencionados estar?an fuera del negocio? por lo que no est? en sus intereses financieros curar enfermedades y males. Complejo M?dico Industrial hace algunas fuertes preguntas. Como: Es tu m?dico uno de esos que recibe sobornos de compa??as farmac?uticas? Qu? tan peligrosos son nuestros hospitales para los pacientes? Las compa??as farmac?uticas hacen medicamentos o dinero? Es inteligente que los padres vacunen a sus hijos? Conoces las pruebas m?dicas que pueden matarte? Las curas est?n siendo realmente ocultas? No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX: The $ickness Industry, Big Pharma and Suppressed Cures (The Underground Knowledge Series #3)
by James & Lance Morcan
"MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX asks some hard questions. Is your doctor one of those who receives kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies? How dangerous are our hospitals for patients? Do the drug companies make drugs or money? Is vaccinating children the smart thing for parents to do? Do you know the medical tests that may kill you? Are cures really being suppressed? What’s the solution regarding private health insurance? Who is quashing alternative medicines? When did your doctor last talk to you about your diet?"
A fascinating an informative read. A lot of research went into this book (on the topics mentioned above). It gives the reader some serious issues to think about. Some of the information I had already read about. Others I learned from this book.
I have to say that I do agree with the authors on this topic, and feel that everyone is in control of their body. That everyone has the right to say no to treatment, tests, surgery, medications. Also I feel (along with the Authors) that if in doubt get a second opinion, maybe even a third.
I am a Chronically ill person with an incurable disease (Crohn's) so MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX: The $ickness Industry, Big Pharma and Suppressed Cures hit "close to home with me. I do admit that I always have done a lot of research before a procedure, surgery, medications, and have declined certain tests and medications.
In doing so I did NOT offend my doctor. After all Doctors are people and it is their job to try to do the best they can to help a patient. Like all careers and businesses there are dishonest people, Doctors are not exempt from corruption, although most (in my experience) are honest and trust worthy.
A very fascinating, thought-provoking and controversial read. I highly recommend to all (Especially American's). ( )
