Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Doctors: the Cure for a Profession in Crises Harvey R. Manes

This book is designed to illuminate the problems facing doctors today and suggest changes that need to be made in order to make the right decision for our country's healthcare future. Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Doctors focuses on what Dr. Manes calls the "three deadly diseases killing the American healthcare system" today; 1) government interference 2) the HMOs beaurocracy and overstepping powers 3) skyrocketing medical malpractice costs.
Detailing the "symptoms" of each in their own section, Dr. Manes next expresses a "diagnosis" of what is ailing the medical community-and patients- as a result of these problems and finally, a "prescription" for how to solve them.
