Robert T. Sataloff, M.D., D.M.A., F.A.C.S.

A fascinating collection of writings from one of the world leaders in medicine, in which the author, Professor Robert T Sataloff, considers some of the leading issues facing medical doctors today.Medical Musings considers a wide range of critical issues – from politics and the need for doctors’ involvement, through gender issues, to medical insurance – that presently impact, or will impact on us all

In his own words, the book is intended to ‘…provide perspectives on education, publication, health care delivery, and other topics relevant to leadership in medicine, and more importantly to inspire thought and provoke debate’.

This is not just a book for MDs; every one of us is, or will be affected by the issues addressed here, whether politician, journalist, lobbyist, healthcare insurer, or ‘Joe Public’.
