Simple Medicine chronicles the change in primary care medicine over the past 50 years. Despite all the new medical technology, studies, medications, specialization, and computers, medical care is fractured. The physician-to-physician relationships have decayed. The federal government and insurance companies are dictating what they think is appropriate medical care. Too many patients are over medicated and not receiving the standard of care that is warranted in 2021. In Simple Medicine, the most common medical conditions, complaints, screening, medications, and medical testing are described in layman terms and very easy to understand, helping patients take control of their own health care and challenge their doctor to do the right thing.
