The People ' s Hospital

That ' s a new book by Ricardo Nuila, M.D. (Scribner) I ' m not going to do a full-scale review, but it ' s definitely worth a mention. He ' s a physician at Ben Taub hospital in Houston, which is a charity hospital that takes care of people who are uninsured or underinsured. He tells the stories of many individual patients he has known and weaves them together into a tapestry that reveals the fundamental insanity of the way we pay for, or don ' t pay for, medical services. Of course I talk about that all the time here, but maybe statistics and facts and figures don ' t make the case for everybody. Tragic stories of real people, courageous and resilient but battered by bad luck and heartless bureaucracy, might do it.P.S. Jordan Peterson is not a " moderate voice, " he ' s a deranged, delusional, far right maniac.
