Hospitals and Healthcare
There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

Loretta Marron reviews SCAM: So-called Alternative Medicine by Edzard Ernst – | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it

Even though we are now well into the 21st century, the western world is experiencing a phenomenal growth in the use of ‘Alternative Medicine’ (AltMed). Despite the lack of evidence, many educated, middle-class people are turning their backs on proven treatments, sometimes paying the ultimate price. In this most scientific of ages, why is this happening?

The book leads the reader gently into the murky world of AltMed; what it is, the arguments used to encourage its use and how to counter them. It discusses the risks involved, particularly for those who are seriously ill. It also exposes how these poorly trained practitioners attack anyone who challenges their flawed beliefs and the lucrative trade it generates.
