Description
This book is about what medical science can and cannot do. The essays cover many aspects of medicine, both orthodox and alternative. They range from our attitude to old age to the uses and abuses of placebo treatments, from the demonology of cancer to the functions of the brain, from the tranquillizer epidemic to the new cult of physical exercise.
