الكتاب في محتواه جيد وممتاز لكنه ممل لأنه عملي ومخصص للدراسة فقط ليس للإطلاع والقراءة الحرة.
لكنه تطرق لقضايا كثيرة حساسة وهامة ويسقطها على قانون الصحة الأمريكي ويناقشها كالموت الرحيم زراعة الأعضاء والإجهاض وخلافه
لم أستمتع بالكتاب كثيرًا

Not bad for a textbook. Did it's job, taught me what I needed for my test. Helpful notations and scenarios. Accessable and understandable. Pretty good
