Böcker av Howard Brody

Drawing on literary works dealing with medical power, Brody argues that proposals to reduce or eliminate the power of the physician are misguided. Instead, there should be guidelines to enable the physician to share with the patient the information and responsibility for deciding on treatment.

This book explores the controversial relationship between physicians and the pharmaceutical industry, identifies the ethical tensions and controversies, and proposes numerous reforms both for medicine's own professional integrity and for effective public regulation of the industry.
