Summary
An autobiographical narrative about how a middle-class youth endured personal turmoil and family crisis to achieve his lifelong goal of becoming a physician. He rose to become one of the outstanding eye physician-scientists of his generation...only to be disheartened and disillusioned by the ongoing tainting of medicine by bureaucrats, bungling administrators, and federal prosecutors - including the tragic scapegoating of three physicians during the whistle-blower initiated federal Medicare/Medicaid fraud investigation at the University of Washington.
The story is at once entertaining, informative, and poignant - providing a personal account accentuating why physicians and surgeons are fleeing medicine in droves and detailing what must be done to mend the cracks, before the once great American medical system crumbles to pieces.
