if you miss this, perhaps you are missing the most important thing for your whole life, the true but painful pictures of "modern high tech" health service sector of india( I feel exaggerated to use the term 'health care.Thanks to the authors, along with exposing the toxic nauseating nexus among unethical doctors, pharma companies and laboratories, they have shown alternatives, in the form of doctor patient relationship and universal health care. --By Arka on 14 June 2016

Medical service has become an industry today and its imperative that people know what is actually going on inside the big hospitals. This will help them to be more cautious in choosing which hospital to go in case of illness. --By Saurabh Banerjee on 31 May 2016

Though we know most of the issues discussed, but still, it is a worth read. The greedy pharma is very clearly depicted. The book can't show you an alternative but it can make you realize how bad our choices were. --By Raman on 20 June 2016

Reseña del editor

Complaints about the state of medical care are increasing in today s India; whether it s unnecessary investigations, botched operations or expensive, sometimes even harmful, medication. But while the unease is widespread, few outside the profession understand the extent to which the medical system is being distorted. Dr Arun Gadre and Dr Abhay Shukla have gathered evidence from seventy-eight practising doctors, in both the private and public medical sectors, to expose the ways in which vulnerable patients are exploited by a system that promotes unscrupulous medical practices. At a time when the medical sector is growing rapidly, especially in urban areas, with the proliferation of multi-specialty hospitals and the adoption of ever-more sophisticated technologies, rational and ethical medical care is becoming increasingly rare. Honest doctors feel under siege, professional bodies meant to regulate the medical sector fail to do so, and the influence of the powerful pharmaceutical industry becomes even more pervasive. Drawing on the frank and courageous statements of these seventy-eight doctors dismayed at the state of their profession, Dissenting Diagnosis lays bare the corruption afflicting the medical sector in India and sets out solutions for a healthier future.
