The social commentary about the profession of medicine, the quest for scientific knowledge, public health officials and politicians was surprisingly relevant, though the book was written in the 1920s.  <br/><br/>The book is well-written, and the characters thorough...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34226200">more...</a>]]></body>
