Exposing the Underbelly of American Healthcare: A Startling Look at Medicine, Research, and PoliticsHow We Do Harm is a powerful exposé by Dr. Otis Brawley, the Chief Medical and Scientific Officer of the American Cancer Society, that pulls back the curtain on the state of healthcare in America today.

He advocates for rational healthcare based on scientifically justifiable treatments, rather than the latest hot new drugs.How We Do Harm is a well-reasoned manifesto for change that exposes the underbelly of medicine as it is practiced in America today. It is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of healthcare in this country.
