«Si puede, no vaya al médico» is Antonio Sitges-Serra's essay on the medicalization of society, published by Debate in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
The author, a surgeon with a long career at Hospital del Mar in Barcelona, analyzes how modern medicine has gone from being an art of healing to an industry conditioned by technology, economic profit and bureaucracy. Sitges-Serra questions that the priority of the health system is no longer the patient's health and denounces the dehumanization of medical care, as well as the over-medication of a hypochondriac society. The book invites readers to rethink the patient's role and to recover a more humane and efficient medicine, with a critical analysis of the interests that come between the doctor and the person who consults them.
The book belongs to Debate's Ciencia y Tecnología collection and includes a prologue by Manuel Cruz. The edition is from 2020 and has 320 pages.
Recommended for readers interested in the debate on the health system, the doctor-patient relationship and the future of medicine from a critical and humanist perspective.
