Scope and Contents

From the box - "Ushered in by antibiotics and vaccines, the age of scientific medicine has promised drugs that can cure diseases without harmful side effects.  Is the myth of finding the "magic bullet" for every disease really diverting us from primary care? Explore these and other hard questions that doctors and patients are asking about our current view of medicine.  Learn why new drugs perfected in the lab don't always deliver what they promise in the real world.  And meet the doctors and scientists who are searching for a more balanced view of what medical science can be expected to achieve."
