A gripping novel about real-life physicians who fight to deliver top-notch care. Although fiction, this story provides a revealing look at the problems developing in our nation's health care system. Is quality care being threatened by the industrialization of medicine and money motives? Are non-physician administrators making too many important medical care decisions? Are HMO's standing in the way of physicians practicing medicine as they see fit? All this and more emerges from this absorbing book.
