| |  | | | In Brief
"During the early years of the 19th century, the American medical profession was poorly organized, poorly compensated, and clearly second-rate compared to other professions. By the middle of the 20th century, it was transformed into one of the most highly organized and powerful lobby groups in America,one which had a major impact on federal and state laws related to medicine and public health. This . . . book is the history of that transformation, and it carries the story into the 1970s and 1980s." (Choice) Index.
