Extremely helpful book about health care

I found this book to be a very eye opening look at the practice of medicine in the United tates today. It was fascinating to see a physician's perspective on the motivateions of fellow physicians. It was refresing to hear an honest take on the health delivery system from one right in the middle of it. I thought it was the best tool I have ever encountered to better my health care. Really impressive.
