Synopsis
A reasoned attack upon the mythic prestige of contemporary medicines, examining the customs and rituals conducted by the medical profession. Illich proves the impotence of medical services to change life expectancy, and examines the clinical and social reality of personal health, and argues for individuals to regain the integrity of their bodies and lives.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "The medical establishment has become a major threat to health." This is the opening statement and basic contention of Ivan Illich's searing social critique. In Limits to Medicine Ivan Illich has enlarged on this theme of disabling social services, schools, and transport, which have become, through over-industrialization, harmful to man. In this radical contribution to social thinking Illich decimates the myth of the magic of the medical profession. The medical establishment has become a major threat to health, says Ivan Illich. He outlines the causes of iatrogenic diseases. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780714529936
