Distrust, Fear, and Science-Denial in Medicine and Healthcare

Beschreibung

This book analyses the decline of trust, mounting of fears, and increasing denial of science and looks at their role in medicine and healthcare, both in terms of the patient-physician relationship and for delivering high-quality healthcare, in order to establish why we need trust and what can be done to restore it.
