Too much medicine

There’s a great deal to celebrate in medicine and healthcare, but it’s also possible to have too much of a good thing. This week we launch our Too Much Medicine campaign (www.bmj.com/too-much-medicine). As explained in an editorial (doi:10.1136/bmj.f1271), the roots of the campaign go back at least a decade to a theme issue we published in 2002, guest edited by Ray Moynihan, called “Too much medicine?” You can find the entire issue on bmj.com (www.bmj.com/content/324/7342). Much of the content is as relevant now as it was controversial then. Mehr
