The Story Of John Harrison's Struggle With The Medical Profession.
Dr John Harrison was a brilliant doctor, sought after around the world for his ground-breaking alternative treatments of acute illness, until he was systematically brought down by a medical establishment eager to protect its own territory.
Dr John Harrison is a miracle worker. Or so some of his patients have called him. His controversial treatments have restored sight to the blind, added years to patients' lives and cured the incurable. Passion, commitment and an unshakeable belief in healing were his life. They were also his downfall.
In 1993, a mentally ill patient accused John of sexual abuse. Amidst the complainant's terrifying threats and intimidation, it became apparent during his hearing that John's real enemy was not one woman, but the medical establishment itself. And a powerful enemy it proved to be.
'Death Of A Doctor' is a story with many faces. It's about the ongoing battle between complementary and conventional medicine, and the sexual politics many doctors now find themselves embroiled in. It's a David and Goliath story of justice, fear, power and revenge. And ultimately, it's about losing faith in an industry we all need to trust.
