Overview

A gripping exposé of medical ethics violations and the fight for patient rights. Thirty years after the Cartwright Inquiry, the truth behind the 'unfortunate experiment' at National Women's Hospital is finally revealed.

When Dr. Ron Jones joined National Women's Hospital in 1973, he unknowingly stepped into a controversy surrounding Professor Herbert Green's study on carcinoma in-situ (CIS) of the cervix. Green's experiment, which involved observing rather than treating women with CIS, led to devastating outcomes for many. Jones, along with colleagues, exposed the unethical practices, sparking a battle for accountability.

Doctors in Denial uncovers the heart-wrenching stories of the forgotten women, the institutional failures, and the long-lasting impact of this dark chapter in medical history. Discover:

The ethical breaches that compromised patient care.
The personal struggles of those who fought for justice.
The lessons learned to prevent future medical misconduct.

For medical professionals, historians, and anyone concerned with ethics and patient rights, this is a crucial account of a tragedy that must never be repeated.

Reviews

"An excellent account of Herb Green’s experiment in the natural history of CIS, and of the management of the condition internationally. An enthralling read." —Professor Malcolm Coppleson
