Medical Musings is a thought-provoking collection of writings which considers a wide range of critical issues facing medical doctors - and their clients. Robert T Sataloff, a prolific author, professional singer, and a leader in his field, considers a wide range of critical themes - from politics and the need for doctors’ involvement, through education, employment, and clinical practice issues, to medical insurance. In his own words, the book is intended to ‘provide perspectives on education, publication, healthcare delivery, and other topics relevant to leadership in medicine, and more importantly to inspire thought and provoke debate’. This is not just a book for MDs; every one of us is, or will be affected by the issues addressed here, whether politician, educator, journalist, lobbyist, insurer, or healthcare consumer.
