#37: Medicine is sick: with Professors Rachelle Buchbinder and Ian Harris

In this episode of The Shoulder Physio Podcast, I am joined by Rachelle Buchbinder and Ian Harris. Rachelle and Ian are academic doctors who still see and treat patients whilst also conducting high quality research. This conversation centres around the concept that modern medical care is sick. Over-treatment, over-diagnosis, junk science, and perverse incentives are just some of the issues plaguing modern medicine.  As it happens, Rachelle and Ian have written a book on this exact topic! The book is provocatively titled "Hippocracy: how doctors are betraying their oath" and is available at the link below. I hope you enjoy this episode.  Key Resources: 1.
