A Peek Behind the Swinging Hospital Doors
By Virginia Prescott on Thursday, May 29, 2008.
Hospitals are big businesses, where bureaucracy, budgets, politics and personalities shape patient care. Award-winning journalist Julia Salamon spent a year getting an insider’s view of one of the nation’s largest hospitals. She came away with a revealing portrait of modern medicine from those who make the system run. Her new book is called Hospital: Man, Woman, Birth, Death, Infinity, Plus Red Tape, Bad Behavior, Money , God and Diversity on Steroids. She joins us on Word of Mouth to talk about her work.
