(More customer reviews)I recently read this book and was amazed at Malmsheimer's insightful commentary on what it means to be a doctor in America. He transcends the prevalent petty finger-pointing of other authors on the subject to delve into the philosphical, historical, and even literary basis for his arguments. He explores fascinating avenues of thought in order to understand how the image of the American physician has been developed out of necessity for the doctor-patient relationship and reinforced by basic human nature, both on the part of patients, physicians, and others. Malmsheimer's work is a delightful work at all times, only slowing pace durng the examination of the American doctor in literature. This book is definite must-read for anyone considering the vocation of medicine or anyone living the life of the American doctor.
