The Second Sickness by Howard Waitzkin Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc. Publication Date: Wednesday, February 09, 2000 Number of Pages: 256 ISBN: 0847698874

Book Summary: Since the appearance of Waitzkin's The Second Sickness, a landmark book of the 1980s, American medicine has been dramatically transformed. Waitzkin's earlier edition used qualitative research to take readers inside the black box of medical decision making. This new, fully updated and expanded edition retains the earlier edition's vivid approach and adds timely analysis of how managed care and other economic and social forces influence medical practice today.
