Ebook of the Month on Healthcare

Check out Netlibrary’s ebook of the month, Flatlined by Guy L. Clifton, M.D. Check out Netlibrary every month to see the current ebook of the month.

This provocative book discusses the inadequacy of our current health care system and offers solutions by a practicing doctor.

Review by Journal of the American Medical Association

"Guy Clifton is able to draw readers into his treatise on the health care conundrum. Clifton's solutions offer insight into the complexity of a system in urgent need of change. Clear, concise, well organized, and well researched, the book could be a quick read, but the statistics are so compelling and the issues are so complex that readers will be hard-pressed not to pause."
