A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

a well documented closely argued book ... He makes clear and manageable recommendations for improvement, (Scimed Publicity)

A convincing case for resolving financial conflicts of interest that compromise the judgment of doctors and that bias the clinical choices they make. A constructive contribution-featuring a well-presented analysis as well as concrete proposals for reform-to the ongoing discussion of our national health-care crisis. (Kirkus Reviews)

admirably researched and cogently argued book. His findings and recommendations must be pondered by everyone concerned with quality in health care. (Science Vol 262,15 October 1993.)

excellent book. If health care reform is to achieve the worthy goal of better ensuring the practice of cost-effective medicine and increasing public confidence in the health care system, it will have to come to terms with the persistent and ingrained conflicts of interest so splendidly articulated by Professor Rodwin. (New England Journal of Medicine)

excellent book. probably the first systematic examination of financial conflicts of interest in the medical profession. If health care reform is to achieve the worthy goals of better ensuring the practice of cost-effective medicine and increasing public confidence in the health care system, it will have to come to terms with the persistent and ingrained conflicts of interest so splendidly articulated by Professor Rodwin. (New England Journal of Medicine, Volume 329, September 16, 1993 Number 12)

admirably researched and cogently argued book ... His findings and recommendations must be pondered by everyone concerned with quality in health care . (David J. Rothman, Columbia University, Science, Vol. 262, 1993)

Rodwin ... painstakingly scrutinises medical practice in the USA, giving a fascinating insight into the dilemmas facing patients when medical decisions can affect the doctor's economic wellbeing ... the success or otherwise of a practice, or the survival of a hospital ... for those familiar with US practice the detail will be compelling. (Joe Collier, St George's Hospital Medical School, London, The Lancet, Vol. 343, June 1994)

impressively documented and detailed book (Francis H. Miller, Boston University, Indiana Law Review, Volume 27, Number 3, 1993)

Rodwin's book is a "must" for anyone concerned with the organisation of the health service, as well as for any academic. The book presents an extraordinarily well-marshalled account of the types of conflict of interest to which physicians in the United States are prone. (Times Higher Supplement)

Marc Rodwin's Medicine, Money and Morals provides a thorough, thoughtful, and practical analysis of this important problem. Rodwin - canvassed not only the academic, trade, and popular literature on the subject but also comments on providers on proposed federal rules, investment prospectuses for medical joint ventures, and kickback trial records to come up with the most exhaustive catalogue available of the scope of the conflict-of-interest problem. The analysis and recommendations that follow make this book a must-read for those seeking to understand the current health care crisis. The strength of Rodwin's book are many. It is well written and easily accessible to persons lacking expertise in fraud and abuse law. This is continued below as it is more than 1000 characters.
