When the Cure Becomes the Problem
Picture a patient following doctor's orders for years-taking medications religiously, undergoing procedures, trusting the system-only to discover it was all for nothing. Or worse, that the treatment caused harm. This isn't a rare medical mishap. It's a systematic problem affecting millions annually, costing billions in healthcare dollars, and fundamentally challenging our trust in modern medicine. Medical reversal-when established treatments are discovered to be ineffective or harmful-occurs far more often than most people realize. Studies examining articles in the New England Journal of Medicine found that 40% of established medical practices tested were eventually shown not to work. This revelation should concern anyone who's ever sat in a doctor's office nodding along to treatment recommendations, assuming that decades of medical practice guarantee effectiveness.
