Description
Opening with the view of an idealistic young doctor entering her first post-graduate job at the local county hospital, The House of Hope and Fear explores not only the personal journey of one doctor's life and career, but also examines the American health care system as a whole. Hospital politics are detailed in an account of the hospital's inner workings, and a human face is given to the health care crisis in America. [NF, memoir].
