I really tried with this one. I enjoy medical nonfiction of many types but -not- this. The book presents itself as a field manual for those traversing the US medical system. If you happen to be an independently wealthy, well connected man- these tactics may work.
If you don’t go running with your PCP or know the “allergist that treated 3 Presidents” this book will just be annoying.
There isn’t practical advice, just a rich guy pretending he “hacked” the system when, in fact, none of those techniques will help if you aren’t well connected and rich to begin with.
It was a fumblingly unaware “manual” written by someone clearly out of touch with how the world actually works for real people.
Imagine a medical book written by one of those presenters at conferences whose material never translates to practical use in the workplace. The ideas aren’t necessarily bad, they’re all unrealistic.
Just like those conference presenters, he uses every opportunity to tell you about ALLLL his cool stories that have nothing to do with the subject matter at hand.
If you’re rich, and run in the same circles as political power players, this book is exactly what your looking for

I love the people who are narrating but this book is weird for the sake of being weird. Not worth the time
