"In this vibrant book, Don Berwick speaks about one of the most
vexing issues of our time with compelling competence, penetrating
clarity, relentless honesty, and heart-warming humor. In an era
when so many public voices lack these qualities, Berwick gives us
reason to hope that our most difficult social problems have
solutions that are within reach. We are the solution, of
course— if we are willing to emulate the intellectual and
moral courage modeled by leaders like Don Berwick."

"[Berwick's] target is a health care system that has evolved
primarily to serve the needs and interests of those who work in the
system— doctors, nurses, administrators, payors,
insurers— rather than the needs and interests of
patients."
— from the Introduction by Frank Davidoff
