Description

The general practitioner was once America's doctor, delivering babies, removing gallbladders, and sitting with the dying. By the 1960s, however, the GP was almost extinct, but the later part of the twentieth century saw a rebirth of the idea in the form of primary care practitioners. In this engrossing collection of oral histories and provocative essays, Fitzhugh Mullan - a pediatrician, writer, and historial - argues that primary care is a fascinating, important, and still endangered calling.

Author Biography:
