Rage and reconciliation

"In these intense and searing essays, a lawyer describes her seesawing emotions over a misdiagnosis of what she was told was an inoperable tumor; a physician formerly employed by an HMO rails at the accepted practice of managed-care organizations finding legal loopholes to trump a patient's needs; a physician wrestles with the idea of doctors policing themselves, knowing he is powerless to prevent the mistakes of an incompetent colleague."--BOOK JACKET.
