There has been a lot of buzz about a book published on September 18th.

UNACCOUNTABLE: What Hospitals Won't Tell You and How Transparency Can Revolutionize Health Care by Marty Makary, MD

This is an important book because in plain English it discloses much of what is wrong with clinical medicine today.

The dirtiest secret: physicians and hospital administrators protect incompetent and volatile physicians.

If you have any interest in health care policy read this book. FWIW, finding the problems is easier than finding the solutions.
