Doctors in Denial

Discover the compelling narrative of "Doctors in Denial" by Ronald W. Jones, published in 2017. This thought-provoking book delves into the controversial history of medical practices at the National Women's Hospital in Auckland, where Jones served as a junior obstetrician and gynecologist starting in 1973. The story revolves around Professor Herbert Green's infamous study on carcinoma in-situ of the cervix (CIS), known as 'the unfortunate experiment.' While the global medical community recognized CIS as a precursor to cancer necessitating complete removal, Green challenged this consensus, leading to ethical dilemmas and human experimentation in medicine. With 264 pages of insightful analysis, Jones sheds light on the complexities of gynecological medicine and the implications of medical denialism.
