Opis

In this collection of essays, the distinguished medical sociologist Eliot Freidson examines the current status of the American medical profession. Showing that present-day health care policies and increasingly restrictive health insurance contracts adversely affect both doctor-patient and colleague relationships, Freidson offers a number of controversial proposals designed to avoid dehumanization of patients while reducing costs.
