Should you trust your doctor? | David Healy

Philosophy For Our Times - A podcast by The Institute of Art and Ideas

We trust our doctors to do what’s best for us when we’re sick, and that their knowledge comes from the cutting edge of medical science. But what if our doctors are being led astray by medical insurance companies, and even the NHS, to create a world where patients depend on medication which might be doing them more harm than good? In this episode we join psychiatrist David Healy as he questions the power that the market forces have over our health.
