Book Summary –
Confessions of a Medical Heretic by Dr. Robert S. Mendelsohn is a bold and controversial critique of the modern medical establishment. In this provocative book, Mendelsohn argues that organized medicine has become a kind of religion—complete with its own dogmas, rituals, and unquestioned authority—that often does more harm than good. He exposes what he sees as the dangers of over-reliance on doctors, unnecessary surgeries, and the blind faith patients place in medical technology and pharmaceuticals. Instead, Mendelsohn encourages readers to take charge of their own health by questioning doctors, avoiding unnecessary treatments, and embracing preventive and natural methods of healing. Written with humor, passion, and clarity, the book challenges conventional medical wisdom and calls for a more humane, patient-centered approach to healthcare—one that emphasizes trust in the body’s own ability to heal.

About the Author –
Dr. Robert S. Mendelsohn (1926–1988) was an American pediatrician, author, and outspoken medical critic known for his unorthodox views on healthcare and the medical profession. Educated at the University of Chicago, where he also served as an associate professor of pediatrics, Mendelsohn became increasingly disillusioned with the institutional medical system he once served. He was a strong advocate of patient empowerment, natural healing, and skepticism toward unnecessary medical interventions, particularly in pediatrics and obstetrics. In addition to Confessions of a Medical Heretic, he wrote How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor and Male Practice: How Doctors Manipulate Women. His writings inspired many to become more informed and proactive about their health, making him a pioneering voice in the movement for holistic and patient-centered medicine.
