Trust Me I'm a Doctor

Why do we trust doctors? Because we want to or because we have to? This book aims to give patients the encouragement to ditch their blind faith in medicine, and doctors the motivation to open their work up to scrutiny. Modern health care has the capacity to do good, harm and very little in roughly equal proportion. Unless you get involved in you treatment, questioning and giving feedback all the way, there's no guarantee your doctor will do the right thing to you, or do the right thing right. It's your money, your body and your choice. Read on and decided for yourself.
