Jonathan B. Imber examines the historical transformation of the doctor-patient relationship, tracing how the moral authority of the medical profession has shifted within the American cultural landscape. By analyzing the evolution of medical ethics and the institutional pressures of the modern healthcare system, the text provides a sociological critique of how professional trust has been renegotiated over the last century.
