Wie wir zu Patienten gemacht werden
Using a wide range of examples, Jörg Blech shows how diseases are invented to open up new markets for pharmaceutical companies’ products and to insidiously convert doctors’ surgeries into sales outlets. In the main this happens by extending or redefining perfectly adequate existing clinical models, so that a healthy person is turned into a sick one or at least one in need of treatment.
For example there is the ‘Ageing Male Syndrome’, the male menopause. The scientific basis for ‘the male change of life’ is pretty thin.
