I read many parts of this book.They are available, for free reading on internet.This book has many parts who are fun.The subject of this book are cases of american quacks.
This isn't a book for doctors, but for general public.Many chapters of this book can be transformed into comedies.
Even having so many fun parts, this book is also biased.
The worst quackeries of american medicine aren't, on this book.
Things such as eugenics, racism,etc. don't have any space on this book.This bias calling "quackery" only absurds who had low quantity of followers and "forgeting" to call "quackery" frauds who fooled tens of millions of americans, is the main problem of this book.
