Book Synopsis The Doctor-Activist by : Ellen L. Bassuk
Book excerpt: This compelling book traces the lives of ten doctors who have devoted their careers to helping disadvantaged patients while forwarding important social issues. An inspiring collection of dramatic autobiographical accounts, The Doctor-Activist shows how the exceptional humanity and idealism of these doctors helped to advance many struggles and movements, including civil rights, women's rights, world peace, environmental protection, and universal access to health care, among others. Considered together, their stories raise many of the salient issues and ethical questions that confront the doctor choosing, creating, and living the life of an activist.
