Three from the Gradys. Chief complaint ; Brawleyism ; Cadillac care ; Skepticism ; A wallet biopsy -- Failure is the system. Red juice ; Tumor promotion ; Defibrillation ; Palpitation ; Saving Mr. Huzjak ; God is calling -- More is better. Ole boys' club ; Snuffy's war ; How much protection? ; The Guillain-Barré Syndrome ; Saving Representative Silvio Conte ; The quintessential American ; Faith-based medicine -- Evidence-based medicine. The denominator ; From the health fair ; Behind the Blue Curtain ; False guidelines ; Algorithms for judgment ; Saying "Enough!" ; Project LEAD.

Dr. Brawley exposes the underbelly of healthcare today--the under-treatment of the poor, the over-treatment of the rich, the financial conflicts of interests physicians face, insurance that doesn't demand the best (or even cheapest) care, and a pharmaceutical behemoth concerned with selling drugs, not providing health.
