Unmasking Medicine
Six talks by Ian Kennedy , Reader in Law and Executive Director of the Centre of Law. Medicine and Ethics at King's College, London.
2: The New Magicians
'Science has destroyed our faith in religion; reason has challenged our trust in magic; what more appropriate result could there be than the appearance of new magicians and priests wrapped in the cloak of science and reason? '
IAN KENNEDY argues that this new breed of physician, created in the image of science. does not best serve the needs of society.
' A perception of the role of medicine has emerged which is inappropriate and indeed, positively deleterious to the health and well-being of the population.'
Producer DAVID PATERSON (Repeated: Sun. Radio 3) This lecture will appear in THE LISTENER dated 13 November
