Glenn Reynolds review at TCS Daily
Andy Kessler has worked in Silicon Valley for a long time. He's seen
the way that improving technology can lower costs and increase
capabilities in all sorts of areas, and now he says that it's time for
silicon to do for medicine what it's done for so many other fields.
That's the topic of his new book, The End of Medicine: How Silicon Valley (and Naked Mice) Will Reboot Your Doctor. And he thinks there's plenty of room for improvement. I agree...It's certainly the case that we're a lot more likely to see that sort of thing if health care consumers demand it. Which I guess is a reason to hope that his book sells well, particularly among policymakers and healthcare consumers. Perhaps you should send a copy to your Senator.
I am probably indulging in overkill. The odds are that Andy Kessler already makes a point of reading the Amazon.com customer reviews. Nonetheless, this is one way to make sure:
