McClelland offers a sweeping history of Western Medicine and a social historian's perspective on why medicine's professionalization project - the drive to secure monopology, power, and prestige - seems to be failing as social forces undermine doctor's autonomy. This nicely-organized survey will appeal to anyone interested in the paradox that while the future of medicine is bright indeed, the future of the medical profession is uncertain at best.--Charles S. Bryan, M.D., MACP, Heyward Gibbes Distinguished Professor of Internal Medicine Emeritus, University of South Carolina
