Medicine in the Second Half of the Twentieth Century
Abstract
Every age has its medical sceptics-shrewd commentators whose analysis questions or even refutes the paradigm of the totally triumphalist view of med icine. These range from Moliere through George Bernard Shaw to Ivan Illich. Yet perhaps in our own day none has been so influential (certainly within med ical circles) as Thomas McKeown, whose critiques of medicine in the 1970s rested not only on exceptional academic rigour, but also on an insider’s know ledge, given his position as Professor of Social Medicine at the University of Birmingham.

“However, from the early 1960s, this public trust was undermined, especially for women, when severely deformed children were born to expectant mothers prescribed thalidomide for morning sickness during pregnancy (Lock 1997, pp. 137-8).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
