Book description
Id wager the author is nowhere near as idiotic as his writing style. The book is an easy read, most of the factual information is loaded in attributed quotes to various folks, in an industry where I am far from being an expert, yet never far from being a customer. Kesslers wealth and/or sheer chutzpah get him access to a fair amount of interesting people and places.I think you have to sort of shake off the style, and breezy delivery(that does reduce some as the book goes on), and use this as a launchingpad for thought and/or web searching. Personally, Im a big believer insome form of XOR that can be run an a variety of images/readings ofyour body from year to year. Certainly, folks who get their bloodworkdown on a semi-yearly basis, are already pretty adept at reading theresults. Hell they usually list guardbands so it is pretty easy totell where your hot spots are, and comparing them from year to yearfor a trend is simple. Granted, maybe overly simple, but less dauntingmaybe then going to a doctor for some.Too bad, according to Kessler, you still basically need a doctor toprescribe and receive the test results. Hmmmm, that could change onehopes, and blood tests could become cheap enough for folks even withoutmed insurance to get theirs done every year or two?On the xor tip...I remember the slew of AmeriScan ads (AmeriScam) and I suspect it was notjust myself (and Kessler) who were excited about the possibilities of suchscans. And yet, suspicious. I like the idea of a worthwhile scan every two years and then compare for differences. One of Kesslers themes, aside from sheer greed to make a killing off health, is that there is a lock between Big Pharma and the FDA locking out more innovative, early detection solutions.Kind of an Electric Car scenario, although he cites the FCC and regionalphone companies.Hmmm, speaking of that discussion in the book, remember George Mills,the FDA guy, who stealthily affirmed Kesslers suspicions in a sortof clock and dagger episode late in the book? Shortly after the publication of this book, Mills took a job at Parexel, as VP of Medical Imaging. This book often reminds me of marketing typesnetworking...but again, I think there are enough details to keep oneengrossed. The R2 checks for mammograms, imaging races on workstationsat the tomography conference, self-referral issues with doctors andimaging machines that they in part own; all of these were fascinatingto me. And it is nice that there is largely a local (Bay Area) angleto this as well.With all respects to Merck et al, I prefer imaging over drugs. ButI do still think a doctor, with a good web-side manner, will stillbe hard to beat in many cases.
