Title: Others Do It Better!
Review: With so many mass market books for laymen written by medical doctors, it really is necessary to choose between those authors who are merely writing about their own practices and the problems they encounter (medically, morally or ethically) and those who are also wonderful writers -- who use their own experiences to paint a broader picture of the human condition. I find Groopman very much in the former category (good doctor but mediocre writer) and people like Sachs and Nuland in the latter. Also, there is an elitism in Groopman's tales that is off-putting.
Is the review positive or negative?
