My conversation with Robin Cook
"To discover to the world something which deeply concerns it, and of which it was previously ignorant; to prove to it that it had been mistaken on some vital point of temporal or spiritual interest, is as important a service as a human being can render to his fellow creatures..." John Stuart Mill, "On Liberty"

Robin Cook talks about health care
Dr. Robin Cook, with his first book "Coma" gave birth to the genre of "medical thriller." Since then, he has written twenty-seven NY Times bestsellers, translated into forty languages. And in this time when medicine is perhaps to thrilling, he's not afraid to use his medical knowledge and public awareness to plunge into our most important debates in his new book Intervention.
