Greenwood Publishing Group : The Criminalization of Medicine

Reviews:

-Wars result in damage--some of which is intended and some of which is collateral. The Criminalization of Medicine is about some of the collateral damage of our nation's long-running wars on drugs (specifically, prescription drug diversions/misuse) and on health care fraud. In ten short chapters, Libby presents in-depth studies of the impact of these wars on the physicians who are the target of investigation, civil litigation (using the False Claims Act and civil forfeiture laws), and criminal prosecution. Most cases are settled or plea-bargained, so it is often difficult for outsiders for find out what actually happened. Libby has exhaustively researched his subject and uses court transcripts and filings, government testimony, media accounts, and in-person interviews to paint a rich picture of each case. —Health Affairs

-A worthwhile book by an author who carries appropriate crendentials. —MedicoLegal Consultants

-Libby documents egregious abuse of power: suborned perjury, intimidation, deprivation of due process, malicious misinterpretation of the regulations, character assassination, vicious mistreatment of inmates in a psychiatric prison/hospital....Libby's book could be a powerful tool in persuading the medical profession to take needed action. Buy several copies. —Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons
