TY - JOUR T1 - Next medicine: The science and civics of health AU - Levin-Scherz J Y1 - 2011/03/23 N1 - 10.1001/jama.2011.355 JO - JAMA SP - 1244 EP - 1244 VL - 305 IS - 12 N2 - Bortz is a senior geriatrician, an octogenarian marathon runner, and a proud dad. He is also an inquisitive thinker, reaching into history, philosophy, anthropology, and astrophysics to diagnose what is wrong with medicine today and to suggest alternatives. Next Medicine is his description of how medicine has gone off the tracks and what should be done to recover the grand ambitions of Bortz's beloved profession. It is also a fascinating memoir.
