About Medicine, Monopolies, And Malice
From Booklist Wilk was the moving force behind the pioneering antitrust suit Wilk v. American Medical Association. He describes how he conceived the suit gradually as he saw that his and his fellow chiropractors' live-and-let-live attitude was getting them nowhere against the legal harassment of organized standard medicine. After selling the idea of a suit to his colleagues and forming the National Chiropractic Antitrust Committee to drum up donations for legal expenses, Wilk, his high-powered lawyer, and his three coplaintiffs formally initiated the suit late in 1976. Four years later, it went to a jury that found the defendants not guilty. Wilk and company next sought a bench trial, in which they were, in 1987, ultimately successful. Wilk gives a well-documented and lively account of his highly important suit, considering both its psychological and its legal aspects. William Beatty Product Description Explains how the American Medical Association conspired to discredit chiropractors and monopolize medicine and discusses how the author took on the AMA in a precedent-setting case that went all the way to the Supreme Court. Original. Tour. IP. Amazon.com Review This is the story of a courageous group of chiropractors who charged the powerful American Medical Association with an antitrust suit and won. Chiropractic was apparently just a little too successful for the medical establishment's liking. Dr. Wilk and his colleagues had the scientific studies to prove it. Thanks to them, Americans retain the ability to choose how they want their backs cared for.
