About The Book

Complaints about the state of medical care are increasing in today’s India whether it’s unnecessary investigations botched operations or expensive sometimes even harmful medication. But while the unease is widespread few outside the profession understand the extent to which the medical system is being distorted. Dr Arun Gadre and Dr Abhay Shukla have gathered evidence from seventy-eight practising doctors in both the private and public medical sectors to expose the ways in which vulnerable patients are exploited by a system that promotes unscrupulous medical practices. At a time when the medical sector is growing rapidly especially in urban areas with the proliferation of multi-specialty hospitals and the adoption of ever-more sophisticated technologies rational and ethical medical care is becoming increasingly rare. Honest doctors feel under siege professional bodies meant to regulate the medical sector fail to do so and the influence of the powerful pharmaceutical industry becomes even more pervasive. Drawing on the frank and courageous statements of these seventy-eight doctors dismayed at the state of their profession Dissenting Diagnosis lays bare the corruption afflicting the medical sector in India and sets out solutions for a healthier future.
