One of the principle causes of death and injury in the United States today is the widespread reality of doctors who are too rushed to give proper attention to their patients. The haste is created by the pressure upon physicians by insurance companies control care decision, inadequate information about new drugs, a rigid healthcare framework, the insurance and pharmaceutical company financed corruption of the justice system from the congress to the courthouse. America's Tunnel Vision: How Insurance Companies' Propaganda Is Corrupting Medicine And Law by Michael Townes Watson (a former Adjunct Professor of Medical Malpractice law, a practitioner in Law and Medicine for more than thirty years, and the author of four law books and numerous articles on legal/medical issues) is a clarion call to make right what has gone wrong in the medical and judicial systems. In an era when hospital error kills more people than any form of cancer (except lung cancer), when you are five times ore likely to be injured in a hospital than when driving your car, when insurance companies think your life is worth less if you are hurt by a doctor than if you are hurt by a drunk driver, and when insurance companies have taken over the practice of medicine and are now in the active process of taking over the justice system, it's only men and women like Michael Watson and books like America's Tunnel Vision that can hope to awaken the general public to what is going on and to motivate them to corrective action. Simply stated, America's Tunnel Vision is "must" reading for all health care and medical reform activists, and needs to be placed in the Social Issues reference collections of every community and academic library in the country.
