Review
Stevens brilliantly views the hospital as a prism of the values and mores of society... She sees the stratification of the hospital population into private, semi-private, and charity patients as a manifestation of the social stratifications of American society.

Reviews in American History)
For me, personally, the book constituted an invitation to rethink the relationship—warts and all—among the benevolent, charitable, and business missions of the hospital, while at the same time disabusing me of my inclination to cite history to support or defend a view I might otherwise have preferred to hold.
(Merlin K. DuVal, M.D., Senior Vice President, Samaritan Health Service, Phoenix, Arizona)
This book is beautifully written... and is must reading for anyone involved in the current debate on health policy. It will also make delightful reading for those who merely wish to view the shifting social and economic climate in modern America, as seen from the perspective of the hospital.
