Fascinating Thesis Convincingly Presented5
I am a physician. I had the privilege, while in medical school, of taking a one-on-one rotation with Dr. Joel Howell, MD, PhD, Victor Vaugh Professor of the History of Medicine. He gave me a monster list of books to read; and then we would sit together for an hour or so and discuss each one I read. Outstanding experience.

Well, this little gem was on his list.

If you have read and "got" anything by Noam Chomsky, or Howard Zinn, you will "get" this book.

After being award an MBA from Stanford (hence, I can confidently say I very well understand the "business" of medicine) and practising medicine for 20 years in both the public and private sector, I have come to the conclusion that Mr. Brown's thesis is on the money.
