Behind the media headlines that chronicle the successes--as well asthe charges of fraud, abuse, and ethical misconduct--of today'scorporate medical giants lies the story of the Wall Street playerswho are determining the structure of our future health systems.Independent hospitals and clinics, small medical technologycompanies, solo practitioners, and consumers alike acknowledge thatthe big business

Sandy Lutz, a renowned medical business reporter and investmentanalyst, and Big Six accounting firm partners Woodrin Grossman andJohn Bigalke provide their insiders' insights into the financialworkings of Wall Street's mighty medical corporations--a class theauthors refer to as Med Incorporated.
