No doubt. Most medical treatment these days ranges from invasive to downright barbaric. Western medicine has basically only two tools they know to use: drugs and surgery, both of which are invasive and have side effects.
What Western medicine is good at is diagnosis and emergency care. All the rest they pretty much suck at big time.
I'm more inclined to think that it's pretty much a mixed bag. Unfortunately there are any number of conditions that simply don't have viable medical treatments, and often the treatments are worse than the conditions--which doesn't keep the medical profession (and the pharmaceutical profesison too, for that matter) from trying. And it doesn't help that scientists have a knack for trying to make big conclusions on the basis of incomplete or dubious data, even to the point where they allow their own prejudices affect those conclusions.
