Judge John Reilly‟s new book, Bad Medicine, is not by conventional standards anacademic monograph. In fact, Reilly makes no pretence towards his book being ascholarly one, and this is possibly one of its greatest strengths. He has a message todeliver, not just for academics and policy makers, but for Canada and possibly theworld at large. He disavows the often mysterious and arcane jargon that academiainsists must be correct in order to make his message accessible to anyone who mayventure to read it, from the most educated to the least educated.
