Overdiagnosed

In this thought-provoking audiobook, Dr. H. Gilbert Welch challenges the prevalent belief endorsed by the medical community and Big Pharma that increased screening equates to better preventative care. He argues for fewer diagnoses, elucidating the consequences of an American healthcare system that often mislabels individuals as sick and subjects them to unnecessary treatments, which can lead to harm and increased costs. Drawing from 25 years of research and practice, Welch advocates for a transformative approach that prioritizes patient well-being over excessive medical interventions.
