About this audiobook

For centuries the doctor has been treated with awe, once because he seemed close to the gods and now because he seems to hold the secrets of science. This essay says the old priest still lives inside the modern physician, and that the mixture produces odd contradictions. In America, it argues, the medical profession has gained great prestige and prosperity. This essay comes from Civilization in the United States, a 1922 collection edited by Harold Stearns. Read by JOHN RIDDLE in forty-three minutes.
