Over-Diagnosed

Over-DiagnosedCheck out the new releases a the library and I was stumped. Nothing was really jumping out to me that day. I did notice Over-Diagnosed, and being how I feel about the medical system at times figured that might be an interesting read.

The overwhelming theme of the book was very interesting. To me it pretty much just backed up with evidence, how over-diagnosing in the medical industry can at times hurt more people than it helps.

The author, a doctor always backs up his ideas with plenty of facts and studies, which is great whenever debating any topic. Some of the findings really do open up your eyes a bit.

While the idea and theme of the book were very interesting to me, I didn’t finish reading the entire thing. I think it was a bit too “medically” written, it that makes any sense. I had a hard time getting through chapters at points.

I’d of personally been just as happen reading a few pages and viewing a sample of the charts to get an understanding of what the author wanted to share. But the point is an important one and I would recommend to always investigate what are the best options for one’s own medical care and not just operate out of fear (I know it’s easier said then done at times).
