Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Society expresses dissatisfaction about the high cost and low efficacy of medical technology yet continues to invest heavily in it. This apparent contradiction is illuminated by examining societal expectations about the nature and performance of medical technology. Expectations must be aligned with health prevention rather than intervention in the future. |
