Book excerpt: Seeing Sickness takes us inside the world of medical screening, where well-meaning practitioners and a profit-motivated industry offer to save our lives by exploiting our fears. Author Alan Cassels writes that promoters of screening overcompromise on its benefits and downplay its harms. If you're facing screening for breast or prostate cancer, high cholesterol, or low testosterone, someone is about to turn you into a patient. You need to ask yourself one question: Am I ready for all the things that could go wrong? [From back cover].
