| Abstract | "Writing frankly, Weisse discusses how doctors and patients of cancer, heart disease, stroke, infectious disease, AIDS, and other dire diagnoses deal with illness in the twenty-first century, considering, in turn, how such factors as specialization, rising costs, managed care, the insurance industry, and litigation has changed the practice of medicine"--Provided by publisher. |
