Spin-doctors in power. Cooper, the chairman of the Dutch Institute believes unerringly in his centralized package. With the help of his elite Sounding Board, Cooper is a master at manipulating advisory committees. He is blind to the fact that what he is chiefly doing is protecting his own job, while everybody else is losing it. Well done, applause for authors! --Concerned mothers The claustrophobic setting for The Dutch Institute presents a political elite who use the state healthcare system for their own good. People are led to believe that the mandatory basic package gives good healthcare for everyone. This is not true. The powerful state institutes are good for providing top jobs for ex-politicians, but bad for patients and employment. Hopefully this book will help in managing change. --Big Pharma executive When this is true, the medical world has a problem. --Amazon.com About the Author The author has a background in philosophy. Wim Huppes also completed his training as a specialist in internal medicine. For many years he published columns about the healthcare sector, including in the Dutch national newspaper Het Financieele Dagblad. Since 2006 Wim Huppes has himself been a cancer patient; he reached the limits of conventional treatment options in 2007. He managed to stay alive by choosing to follow an unconventional path. In so doing, he encountered Kafkaesque situations. For example, he was dismissed from his position in central government. In 2013 he founded his own research hospital. The Public Prosecutor's Office shut down the hospital as a threat to public health and had it investigated by the Health Inspectorate. Various court cases followed. Huppes was discredited as a quack on websites. Huppes stood up to the institutions when they exercised their power over him and he continued developing the light therapy. Whenever he had time, he would sit down to write his 'political thriller'.
