History Of The Cook County Hospital From 1876 To The Present Time PDF Download

Lewis, once an assistant to Studs Terkel, brings both the master's interviewing skills and his compassion to bear on the frontline trenches of American medicine, the continually embattled Cook County Hospital of Chicago, the hospital upon which the smash TV hit "ER" is said to be loosely based. Her interviews with the widest possible range of people involved in running the hospital--from a former director to an elevator operator and a security guard--elicit fascinating stories and frank assessments of the American medical system in general and "County" in particular.
