[Ivan Illich's revenge and death: on iatrogenesis and related phenomena].
Dr Ivan Illich, the devoted fighter for the elimination of the various complications of modern medicine, died last year. This caused us to re-read and to remind the readers about the various ingredients of this iatrogenic phenomenon: polyphragmasia, the false diagnosis of "non-diseases", over-activity and over confidence of the medical establishment, non-adherence to logical work-up of diagnostic algorithm, etc. Although medicine has progressed immensely, we often encounter the various maladies of modern medicine. In rehabilitation medicine practice, we also often face a few more aspects of this subject.
