Description
Summary:This book caricatures clinical medicine systematically. And almost every speciality - from anesthesiology to urology - serves as a target. Volker Lange knows how to disclose the perhaps intentionally overlooked parts of the medical profession. Here, sideswipes against both the physician' s vanity and the weight of the medical industry unmask much more than statements made by medical associations or auditing offices. Filled with warmhearted irony, but also biting sarcasm, Medicynical testifies to Lange's sovereignability to analyse the business of medicine.
