***A Waterstones Best Books of 2022 pick*** 'David Haslam is uniquely
placed to reflect on how healthcare has lost its way, what needs to be
done to fix it and why all of us are responsible for doing so... The
importance and timeliness of his messages shines through.' Dr Phil
Hammond 'A fascinating and important book.' Dr Amanda Brown With a
single drug in the UK currently costing £340,000 per patient per
year, or a gene therapy in the USA being costed at $1.2million, who
should get such treatments, and how can we begin to afford them?
Should we all be entitled to timely mental health therapy? How should
we care for our old? As we grapple with the world's worst pandemic for
a century, our minds are on our health more than ever. But what should
we rightfully expect of doctors? In this original and
thought-provoking book, Sir David Haslam explores what good healthcare
should achieve and asks how we pay for it. Informed by patient stories
and data from across the world - from US big pharma to Britain's NHS -
this is an urgent and often moving examination of our most important
asset: our health.
