We live in an age of medical miracles. So why does it feel like it's getting harder to live our healthiest lives? Through stories from his own practice and historical case studies, Dr. F. Perry Wilson explains how and why the doctor-patient relationship has eroded in recent years and illuminates how profit-driven companies have corrupted what should have been medicine's golden age. By clarifying the realities of the medical field today, Dr. Wilson gives readers the tools they need to make informed decisions, from evaluating the validity of medical information online to helping caregivers advocate for their loved ones, in the doctor's office and with the insurance company. He wants readers to understand medicine and medical science the way he does: as an imperfect and often frustrating field, but still the best option for getting well.
