Ivan Illich's 1975 book, Medical Nemesis: The Expropriation of Health (also known as Limits to Medicine), argues that the medical establishment, through medicalization and iatrogenesis (doctor-made illness), has become a major threat to health, diminishing individual health, dignity, and life itself. Illich contends that over-industrialized medicine has shifted social control away from individuals, making them dependent on a system that increasingly harms rather than helps.
