Heillose Medizin
Author: Jörg Blech

Publisher: Left Bank Culture
Publication Date: May 25, 2006
The latest work by the author of "Inventing Disease"
The first book to debunk surgical myths and improve the quality of medical care
A top ten bestseller in the German non-fiction charts
1. Can tumor screening prevent or reduce the risk of breast cancer?
2. Are bow legs a deformity that requires surgical treatment?
3. Can taking an X-ray for back pain identify the source of the pain?
4. Can carotid artery surgery effectively prevent strokes?
5. Should you rush to get a cardiac catheterization if you're worried about heart disease?
The latest findings from the author of the United Daily News Reader's Choice Book of the Year, "Inventing Disease"
These are all ineffective medical treatments!
Let's avoid over-medicalization and reclaim our health and confidence
Why do doctors recommend surgeries to patients that they themselves would avoid when they are sick?
Why do larger healthcare expenditures not lead to better medical outcomes?
In the medical field, myths are still prevalent in departments such as gynecology, plastic surgery, and cancer care. The basis for medication, diagnosis, and treatment is often not medical necessity, but fallacy, fraud, and even economic interests. When doctors themselves become patients, the results are often shocking: compared to the general public, they rarely undergo surgery. Many doctors encourage patients to undergo surgeries they would not choose for themselves. Only doctors truly understand which surgeries are truly necessary, which treatments are beneficial to patients, and which are beneficial to their own wallets.
A nationwide medical culture revolution!
Academic journalist and bestselling author Jörg Blech critically analyzes the shortcomings of treatment surgeries such as cancer chemotherapy, plastic surgery, disc wear, joint disease, hysterectomy, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, and osteoporosis. Through this thought-provoking book, he points out the folly and obstinacy of the medical community and advocates for better medical quality.
With more adequate information, unnecessary surgeries and treatments can be avoided.
Unnecessary medical procedures are the dark side of the medical field. Patients often have to entrust themselves to the care of modern medicine, placing their hopes in white coats, colorful pills, and shiny medical equipment. But what kind of return do they get for this trust? According to the world-renowned "New England Journal of Medicine," 20% to 40% of patients receive medical procedures that are ineffective or have no significant effect on them.
This is not about unnecessary pain, wrong amputations, or small forceps left in the abdomen—these are medical errors. This involves medical measures that are known in advance to be ineffective or even harmful. It is fraud within the medical system. ——Excerpted from "Ineffective Medicine" by Left Bank Culture
"Ineffective Medicine" offers a great piece of advice: Knowledge is the best medicine! This is very apt; having knowledge allows you to become an informed consumer, to understand what you can do for your own health, and to seek out a doctor who doesn't necessarily prescribe medication but encourages you to take responsibility for your own health when you need to see a doctor!
