The Healers

The Healers, by Gerald Green, a 500 page tome published in 1979, has been in my personal library for many years. It's a story beginning in 1950 centered around brothers, one an ambitious cardiologist who achieves the position of chief resident at his hospital and who has a penchant for beautiful women and the extravagant life style. The other brother is perceived as an angry "loser", but becomes the doctor who would come to fight against poverty, disease, and corruption. His battle brings him to the point of exposing his own brother's corrupt hospital administration.The sister of this medical dynasty is a psychologist whose ambition drives her into the field of network TV news where she becomes romantically involved with a married network VP.An entertaining read for those drawn to the medical world.
