Bad medicine : doctors doing harm since Hippocrates

Wootton, David, 1952-2007
Books, Manuscripts
David Wootton argues that until the invention of antibiotics in the 1930s doctors, in general, did their patients more harm than good. He shows that throughout history and right up to the present, bad medical practice has often been deeply entrenched and stubbornly resistant to evidence.
