Alan Cassels, co-author of the international bestseller
Selling Sickness: How the World's Biggest
Pharmaceutical Companies are Turning Us All into
Patients, returns to his favourite topic armed with
outrageous humour and even more outrageous facts.
As if Dr. Seuss had taken on an overmedicated,
overdiagnosed culture, Alan Cassels offers up a great romp
of disorders that go bump in the night, along with the
industry-sponsored drugs marketed to make us better again.
This illustrated, verse-form alphabet is not for the faint
of heart at any age. It is, however, meticulously footnoted
for theraputic use by consumers and health policy pundits
of all shapes, sizes and chemical compositions.
Take all twenty six letters of Cassels’ alphabet with
a dose of good old skeptical humour. Trust us, your health
care policy will feel better in the morning.
