Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D. book review excerpts:
"Where Medicine Fails is the best account I have seen of the historical evolution of Cartesian thinking and the hopeless corner into which it has led modern medicine.
In her incisive analysis… Carol McMahon argues that where medicine fails is not in its mechanics or details but in its philosophical core… As a physician who teaches students about medical history and philosophy, I could not agree more…
McMahon identifies “mind-body dualism” as the main theoretical problem in modern medicine and traces it back to the 17th-century French philosopher Rene Descartes… McMahon is quite right to say that only a sweeping theoretical revolution can save medicine…"
