THE LAST WELL PERSON: HOW TO STAY WELL DESPITE THE HEALTH-CARE SYSTEM
Book ID/图书代码： 08763013B59989
English Summary/英文概要： Are we all diseased time bombs? In "The Last Well Person" Dr Nortin Hadler argues that unfounded assertions, massaged data, and flagrant marketing have led to the medicalization of everyday life. He systematically builds the case that constant medical monitoring and unnecessary intervention are hazards to our health, severely reducing our quality of life. Sick with worry, we are a culture panicked by many illnesses - cardio-vascular disease, obesity, adult onset diabetes, fatigue, and breast cancer. Especially insidious, contends Hadler, is the misuse of longevity statistics in turning the difficulties experienced through a natural course of life, such as aging, back pain, and osteoporosis, into illnesses. He shows that the medical profession’s current notion that such predicaments can be avoided is fatuous and self-serving. And he argues that most heart bypass surgery, mammography, cholesterol screening, and treatment to prevent prostate cancer should be avoided.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 我们所有人都是患病的定时炸弹?在《最后的健康者》里Nortin Hadler博士认为毫无根据的断言,信息数据和公然的营销导致日常生活的医学化。他系统地构建案例,持久的医疗监测和不必要的干预危害到了我们的健康,严重降低了我们的生活质量。担心生病,我们处在一个由许多疾病如心血管疾病、肥胖、ⅱ型糖尿病、疲劳、和乳腺癌造成的惊慌的文化中。Hadler声称,特别是阴险的,滥用寿命统计学资料来将通过自然生活如老化、背部疼痛,骨质疏松遇到的困难转化成疾病。他表明, 可以避免如此困境的目前医学界的专业概念是昏庸和自私的。他还辩论道,大多数的心脏搭桥手术、乳腺X射线照相术,胆固醇筛选,预防前列腺癌应该被避免。（LNL）
