Marcia Angell Knihy

Marcia Angellová sa venuje hlbokej analýze lekárskej etiky, zdravotníckej politiky a povahy lekárskych dôkazov. Prostredníctvom svojich spisov skúma zložité prepojenia medzi medicínou a právom, starostlivosťou na konci života a dynamikou medzi priemyslom a akademickou medicínou. Jej práca sa vyznačuje kritickým pohľadom na spôsob, akým sú lekárske poznatky prezentované a ako sa stretávajú s právnymi a spoločenskými realitami. Angellová sa snaží odhaliť pravdu a ponúknuť riešenia v oblastiach, kde je zdravotná starostlivosť a jej správa vystavená pochybnostiam.

The book explores the aftermath of the FDA's 1992 ban on silicone gel-filled breast implants, which was based on health concerns leading to extensive litigation and a massive class-action settlement. Despite subsequent scientific studies showing no significant link between the implants and disease, public perception and court decisions remained influenced by fear and misinformation. This discrepancy highlights broader issues regarding the relationship between science, law, and public understanding of evidence, emphasizing the risks of misconceptions in an increasingly technology-dependent society.
