How people power and business transformed medicine, creating new risks
Original: How ‘people power’ and business transformed medicine, but created a whole new set of risks
An analysis published by The Conversation examines how patient activism and commercial interests together reshaped modern medicine, improving treatments and access while introducing new risks. The piece argues that the same forces that drove rapid innovation and responsiveness to patients have also produced problems such as commercial pressure, over-medicalisation and safety concerns that health systems now face.
Why now: Debates about the role of business in healthcare and patient safety are currently prominent, prompting discussion of medicine's history and its trade-offs.
