  5. Some doctors dispute benefits of early diagnosis

    In a new book, "Overdiagnosed: Making People Sick in the Pursuit of Health," Dartmouth researchers and physicians H. Gilbert Welch, Lisa Schwartz and Steven Woloshin argue that the medical establishment's embrace of early diagnosis and treatment as the key to keeping people healthy actually does the opposite. When doctors order screenings or tests for people who have no symptoms, then diagnose them with illnesses, that's often overdiagnosis, these authors maintain. Since many of the patients will never develop symptoms, much less get sick or die from these ailments, it leads to costly, unnecessary medical interventions and promotes a culture of sickness rather than health. I spoke with Welch, a professor at Dartmouth's Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, about what health care might look like if more people adopted their approach.
