Negative Positive
Title: More of the same
Review: With so many mass market books for layment written by medical doctors, it really is necessary to choose between those who are merely writing about their own practices and they problems they encounter (whether 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, 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?
