ReplyDeleteMany moons ago, there was a science fiction novel called _caduceus wild_ by Ward Moore. It described a 'medarchy'.

Another scary short story, available at http://billstclair.com/DoingFreedom/000623/df.0600.fa.lipidleggin.html, is _Lipidleggin'_, by F. Paul Wilson. Same theme, tres scary.
