More diatribe than scientific, the author makes sweeping claims based on cherry-picked sources. Ex: "Until recently medicine attempted to enhance what occurs in nature. It fostered the tendency of wounds to heal, of blood to clot, and of bacteria to be overcome by natural immunity", footnoted with a case study of mitral valve surgery. Seems similar to writings of Foucault. (same era)
