Too Much Medicine A Doctor's Prescription for Better and More Affordable Healthcare

Too Much Medicine describes how medical decisions are made and why concern for the patient's well-being may get overlooked by financial motives and defensive medicine.

Dennis Gottfried, M.D., a general practice physician in Connecticut for over 25 years, understands the strengths and weaknesses of American medicine. He gives examples of how heath care has become excessive and often harmful. In the process of explaining the failures of our medical system, Dr. Gottfried provides information that enables readers to take control of their own medical destiny and offers solutions to the question of what our government can do about too much medicine and dramatically reduce health care costs.
