Hospital

An absolutely fascinating unvarnished first hand look at one of the premier institutions of medicine. Recommended reading to all who are in medicine or contemplating a career in the medical field.

Most importantly, Ms. Lewis provides a look at our health care system from EVERYONE involved- Housekeepers, patients, nurses aides, all the way to the executives.
