Five Patients by Michael Crichton, Jeffery Hudson

Did not finish book. Stopped at 32%.

While I was expecting this to be a book primarily about the diagnosis and treatment of 5 different patients (which, to some extent, it is) this actually feels more like a brief history of the medical field in general and an exposé of the current state of medicine that just so happens to be connected to five medical cases. If that had been what I was expecting, this would be fine but it isn’t. And for the kind of text it is, it’s outdated and you could probably find a better source in a newer text.
