Is personalized medicinewhat some scientists call genetic medicinea pipe dream or a panacea? Francis Collins, current director of the National Institutes of Health and director of the Human Genome Project, considers this new era the greatest revolution since Leonardo, while Nobel Laureate Leland Hartwell compares personalized medicine to a train that has not yet left the stationa very slow train with a very long way to go . . . before we arrive at our destination.There is no denying that new technology, which has triggered an explosion of scientific information, is ushering in a revolution in medicinefor specialists, general practitioners and the public. Anyone can spit in a cup and, for a small fee, learn about his or her individual genetic makeup. But how useful is this information, really, to us or to our doctors? Whats more, how much do we truly want to knowand have others knowabout our possible destiny? There is more than we can imagine at stake.In An Immense New Power to Heal, authors Lee Gutkind and Pagan Kennedy delve into the personal side of personalized medicine and offer the physicians perspective and the patients experience through intimate narratives and case studies. They also offer an intriguing background of the personalized medicine movement including the fascinating personalities of the key scientists involved as well as a glimpse into the infighting that accompanies any race for a scientific breakthrough. The result is a highly engaging, lively, and provocative discussion about this revolution in health care, and most importantly, what it really means for patients now and in the future.
