Five Patients by Michael Crichton

Picked this up because I've been a huge fan of ER, which was based on Crichton's book. I think this is fascinating as a good historical document. The cost-breakdown chapter felt too relevant to the present-day, where accessing healthcare in the U.S. is still prohibitively expensive. Overall, I think I would have gotten more out of this book if I were a med student or had more of an interest in the history of medicine.
