A book intended for anyone with an interest in medical science and its sociological aspects, not conflect to the medical profession. Clearly and logically written, effect by twists and personal comments, bits of human in material. Starts with sketchy history of 100 years of medicine; then mo carefully into the pros and cons of diagnosis, socialized medicine, in the general practitioner, killings, large hospitals, etc. Good background took for more intelligence discussion by layman.
