A Must Read

Although written in the 1970's, much of the criticism leveled at the medical profession remains relevant today.

Comparing modern medicine to a church, Dr. Mendelsohn -- a physician with 30 years experience -- confesses his heresy. After 30 years of witnessing the harms the Church of Modern Medicine has inflicted on the faithful, he no longer has faith.

The truisms of this book are most evident in those who profess to be atheists, yet devotedly follow the admonitions of the High Priests of Modern Medicine with unflinching faith. All people have religion. It just seems that in America today, they have replaced the priest in a black frock with a doctor in a white coat. Same difference, except that the doctor probably costs more.
