Knock Ou Le Triomphe De La Médecine by Jules Romains
ou le Triomphe de la Médecine
A charismatic physician takes over a sleepy provincial town and, by redefining normal sensations and behaviors as symptoms, persuades virtually everyone they are ill, turning health into a commodity and medicine into a thriving business; the work is a sharp satire of medical authority, the power of suggestion, and the ways rhetoric, self-interest and social credulity can manufacture disease and reshape a community.
