Severed Trust

To be honest, I didn't quite finish this book. I appreciate Lundberg's perspective as a former editor of JAMA, but I didn't get much new information (that I hadn't picked up while earning a master's degree in health policy) except for some inside dope on AMA politics. The tone struck me as a bit gossipy in places, as well, which I think detracted from the message a little.

Little bit of a dry read but generally well-written and thoroughly argued.

The portions pertaining to the internet are rather dated, but that's to be expected considering it was published around 2000
