About this listen

This American medical ecological and economic history, a saga of Man, Money and Medicine or “textbook” of sorts, blossomed primarily for the benefit of Dr. DiLibero's many dear students. He has taught and lectured on the subject of migratory medical ecolo-nomics for many years, and has too often found himself digressing “off on a tangent”, describing particularly interesting moments of historical trivia that have influenced his life.

This obviously over-opinionated book is an attempt to bring some overall order to his lecture series, and deliver to his students the essentials of the course curriculum (which also allows him an excuse to continue to be verbose and freely lecture on interesting sidelights to the actual historical events). Now, in Dr. DiLibero's own words to describe how this book came into being: "At the relatively innocent and perhaps naïve age of 14, my daughter Heidi requested parental assistance to compose a dull and tedious 300-word high school homework assignment, a single page paragraph to answer the question, 'What is Medicare?'. Man, Money and Medicine ultimately launched as an unintended consequence, a paternal penalty resulting from a loving father’s quick, trite, and off-the-cuff response to his daughter’s query. I was driven, by torment, to deliver more exacting additional explanations, all fostered by my daughter’s continued and unrelenting successive queries concerning my overly simplistic answer to her homework question. What was my now historic initial floweret-like response? 'Medicare is just one result of a continual dynamic migratory economic force in America that defines and redefines capitalistic production and value in terms of evolving societal norms for health and the art of living.'"

As we discover over the course of this amazingly detailed collection of writings...Man, Money, and Medicine are arrogantly bonded together. As are the sticky molecules of politics, economics, and health.
