Recently, we asked the doctors here at Bungendore Medical Centre “If you could share one piece of content with your patients, what would it be?”.
Dr. Cross was quick to reply with her contribution, “Hippocracy”, a book by Ian Harris and Rachelle Buchbinder.
This powerful exposé reveals the tests, drugs, and treatments that provide little or no benefit for patients and the inherent problem of a medical system based on treating rather than preventing illness. The book also provides tips to empower patients – do I really need this treatment? What are the risks?
This book is thought-provoking, easy to digest and a relatively quick read.
In the coming months, we hope to share other books, podcast, and articles that the doctors here wish to share with their patients.
