You may be amazed as you read about the extent of the disagreement among many doctors, the lack of medical ethics in modern practice, the alarming rise of specialists who constantly fleece the public by charging unnecessarily high fees. You may gasp as you learn how the public is experimented on, in guinea pig fashion, with every passing treatment and drug. You will be shocked at how uncertain the medical profession really is as to the final effects in years to come of so many of the current innovations like cortisone, early ambulation, penicillin, etc., and at how the unwarranted publicity given these untried medical fads and fancies in newspapers and magazines endangers human life! You may be startled and incredulous when you begin, but when you lay this book down you will have a new and more discerning approach to your medical problems.

Now for the first time, here is an unbelievably frank story of what really goes on behind the medical screen - here for the very first time is a picture sometimes painful, but always accurate, of how most physicians feel, think and behave when stripped of their professional veneer.
