Dr. F. Perry Wilson, a physician and researcher from the Yale School of Medicine, explains how and why the doctor-patient relationship has eroded in recent years and explores how profit-driven companies--from big Pharma to healthcare corporations--have corrupted what should have been medicine's golden age.

What The Reviewers Say

Karen Springen,
Booklist
Wilson comes across as a compassionate, empathetic physician who wants people to be able to trust medicine, which is both an 'imperfect science and the single greatest force for good in the world today.'.
