The Hospital: Life, Death, and Dollars in a Small American Town by Brian Alexander

5.0

This book leaves me simultaneously grateful for my family’s excellent insurance and fantastic medical professionals who truly are essential public servants, and outraged by the entire medical and insurance industries. Is it any wonder that so many people are reluctant to comply with public health interventions when there is legitimately so much greed and corruption in “Big Pharma” and medical insurance and billing. It can be very difficult to separate the good work and advice of caring dedicated doctors, nurses, and scientists from the political spin of the people keeping all the profits.
This book was especially meaningful as a Northwest-Ohioan. Knowing all the locations and the communities makes it just that much more heartbreaking.
