Ivan Illich
"Awe-inspiring medical technology has combined with egalitarian rhetoric to create the dangerous delusion that contemporary medicine is highly effective. Although contemporary medicine is built on this erroneous assumption, it is contradicted by informed medical opinion."--Ivan Illich (Medical Nemesis)
"Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn't organised to serve human
health, but only to serve itself as an institution. It makes more people sick
than it heals."
(Ivan Illich, Medical Nemesis.)
