Quote by Ivan Illich
The medicalization of early diagnosis not only hampers and discour

The medicalization of early diagnosis not only hampers and discourages preventative health-care but it also trains the patient-to-be to function in the meantime as an acolyte to his doctor. He learns to depend on the physician in sickness and in health. He turns into a life-long patient. – Ivan Illich
