Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine is a book about unnecessary healthcare.

Reviews

A reviewer for BMJ called the book "the latest in a series of searing indictments of a medical profession apparently duped by the false promise of technology, and too often compromised by cold hard cash from the companies selling the drugs and devices".[1]

The reviewer for The Washington Post stated that the strength of the book was in its ability to discuss articles from scientific journals.[2]

Another reviewer said that in the book the author "presents a strong indictment of the evidence that dictates medical practice, a challenge that is credible only because Abramson backs up his statements with detailed analyses of the prevailing evidence".[3]
