Hm yes, I suppose the medical profession resides on a foundation of trust, which certainly creates an opportunity for abuse. I would challenge though from an epidemiological population-level view point, distrust of the medical community is far more deleterious than the actions of the people you have highlighted in your book (of course on an individual level it is a tragedy). Do you think that your book could have the deleterious effect of propagating distrust, thereby causing patients to delay treatment or forgo it all together? This alone, has the potential to cause serious threats to peoples lives.

Prior to writing this book, what did you consider as the potential unintentional repercussions that this book could have? For example, as this is an exceptionally rare occurrence, did you consider how reading this book could bias a person negatively against the medical profession?

Lastly, how do you address these concerns in your book?
