Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Take an intimate journey with compassionate and concerned doctor, Margaret A. Mahony, during her last year in managed health care (often called "mismanaged" or "mangled" care). A timely and honest look at what works and what doesn't in the world of medicine today.

Book News Annotation:

Practicing gynecologist Mahoney draws upon the stories of a number patients and her own experiences to critique the American health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and current managed care schemes. She argues that it is virtually impossible for the physician to give quality health care to their patients under this system and reflects on why doctors continue to go along with the trend.
