Michael J. Young, MD Author
"...as a storyteller he may fill the void created by the loss of other great fiction writers such as Crichton & Clancy."
“The Illness of Medicine is a riveting and terrifying look behind the opaque and confusing state of health in America. After 33 years on the front lines, Dr. Young tells you what your doctor won’t about how it all works and too often does not. This book is a disturbing and scathing indictment of a system on life support and once you pick it up you won’t be able to put it down.” – Jack Conaty, Chicago; Former Political Editor
