Publisher's Synopsis
A distinguished physician examines today's medical profession. He tells why we don't get the kind of doctoring we expect and have paid for - and what we can do about it. Why is the medical profession becoming specialized, inaccessible, and expensive? Why is the doctor, with his intellect, compassion, energy, and the educated touch, such a rare creature? "This book is designed for the lay public. It should be compulsory reading for every young man and woman thinking of taking up the study and practice of medicine. Sir George Pickering, former Regius Professor of Medicine Oxford, England "This book is a dandy...It will get the thought processes working and should cause enough concern within the medical profession to begin some lively dialog. - Hamilton Spectator
