  Modern medicine is a powerful institution. With the help of highly-developed drugs and surgical techniques, it promises to relieve suffering, improve the quality of life and extend the life-span. This book presents a re-appraisal of the changes to the health service, and analyzes their effects on the status and practice of health professionals.
