About this audiobook
HOW YOU CAN SURVIVE “HEALTHCARE,” THE LARGEST AND MOST CORRUPT INDUSTRY IN AMERICA.
✪ Learn what works. ✪ See through the lies. ✪ Handle hospitals. ✪ Find trustworthy doctors. ✪ Master your drugs and quit them with confidence.
Healthcare is the top cause of all our overdue debts and personal bankruptcy. Our medical spending per person is double that of other countries, but fully half the treatments are ineffective or harmful. Immense, predatory industries such as angioplasty and coronary artery bypass surgery victimize us. These procedures cause complications and deaths, but few patients survive even a day longer. Most back and endoscopic knee surgeries are equally worthless.
Seventy percent of us are on prescriptions, and 20 percent take over five. One in six uses psychiatric medicine, which commonly causes irreversible brain damage and premature death. Millions are now addicted to prescription opioids. Fifty-thousand people die each year from overdoses.
The FDA allows big Pharma to falsify the studies required to patent drugs. These corporations hire armies of ghostwriters to stuff websites and medical journal articles with marketing lies. Finding the truth is now nearly impossible. But all this gets overlooked as the companies pay billions of dollars in criminal settlements nearly every year.
Although money short-circuits everyone’s integrity, patients and doctors can still prevail. Learn the system, and you can too.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great, first 10 chapters is general general information abut how corrupted medical and pharmaceutical industry is, then author goes into different conditions.
This problem is bigger than medical field, its not just "bad apples" corrupt corporation, every single industry is just as corrupt when final goal is making as much revenue as possible, its back side of capitalism.Great, first 10 chapters is general general information abut how corrupted medical and pharmaceutical industry is, then author goes into different conditions.
This problem is bigger than medical field, its not just "bad apples" corrupt corporation, every single industry is just as corrupt when final goal is making as much revenue as possible, its back side of capitalism.
Book is very pessimistic nature in general, focuses around US healthcare system too much, and does not touch upon lifestyle changes esp nutrition for health benefits reversing medical conditions incl. cancer.
