In the second of two debates that call out the successes and failures of the medical world, the Science Media Centre's Fiona Fox weaves the views of three experts with opinions from the audience. A few weeks ago, vaccination was judged the Best of Medicine, and today's installment tackles the opposite end of the spectrum. Speakers include Dr Michael Fitzpatrick, who denounces "health-obsessed living"; William Schabas from the Irish Centre for Human Rights; and David Wootton, author of Bad Medicine. Bank on sharp clashes of wit as the panelists try to win the crowd over, then have your say by casting a vote at the end of the discussion.
