Jonathan Miller offers a fact-rich fascinating insight into the nature of health care and the world of alternative medicine and its relationship with the man who is trying to stay healthy. In a short span of time, he talks summarizes about the limitations and usefulness of modern medicine and emphasizes the need for bringing the patient into confidence by being honest.

Keep in mind that he is talking in 1981, yet he is remarkably up to date.

His personal take on it is also interesting.

I would highly recommend his documentary 'The Body in Question'.

  • *elicit

  • Such an incredible intellect. I'd love to have a conversation with him some time.. I'd probably ask him what his favourite sandwich was. Even something as banal and ordinary as that question would probably ilicit a beautiful, eloquent and fascinating response.

  • @watayapupuya Miller's 5-part series Madness ran on PBS in the early 90s. There was a very lovely psychiatrist who said that when schizoid patient was talking gibberish, she was trying to imagine what was going on inside his head. Miller very succinctly showed the utter abyss betw. doctor & patient: she wasn't listening if she was imagining what was going on.

  • @BNPxTRUTH Precisely why(yet one more reason )we so obviously need a social/cultural/political/mora­l revolution.

    But,of course,its not going to happen for a long time.The U.S. people are still far too stupid.

  • Wow! Brilliantly insightful!

  • this guy is so informative

  • Yes, but they are all at each other's throats and do not get along very well. Also if none of them releases the new drug then a new start up firm will. In the past they tried to control the market, but these days it is much more difficult, but not impossible.

    Anyway on a slightly different topic. Here is another clip from Jonathan Miller. This one is very popular:
