Excellent text for those who want to enter health care

This is an excellent collection of essays that are quite revealing. I think that anyone who is interested in either working in health or wishes to learn more about the inner workings of health care and its challenges, this is a nice non-academic way of stimulating your mind. I would highly recommend this text to pre-meds or pre-health students. Well done and thought provoking.
