Dr. Allen Weisse's fascinating new collection of essays, Notes of a Medical Maverick offers an exploration of the medical profession for readers with a taste for history and a love of language that moves them. With humor and insight, Dr. Weisse explores the history and practice of the medical profession at large, incorporating anecdotes from his own career and in-depth examinations of medical controversies, education, research, and publication. As a clinician, teacher, researcher, historian, and keen observer of the medical scene for over forty years, Dr. Weisse has cast a wide net to capture both the triumphs and the foibles of his profession and the larger world in which it exists.
