放棄收入豐厚的私人診所執業,一群Good Doctors轉而獻身更高志業:改革存在於美國醫療體制中的歧視與不平等現象。Dittmer在本書中,秉持著一位歷史學家的使命感,詳實動人地描述了這群醫生與理想主義者的奮戰過程,使貧困者在美國也有獲得平等醫療照護的機會,繼而消除存在於美國社會中的不正義。

1964年夏天,一批醫療專家成立人權醫療委員會〈MCHR〉,當中成員多為北方白人。這些醫療人員離開原本的生活、放棄收入豐厚的私人診所,為籌劃密西西比州黑人投票的民權份子提供支援與醫療照護。一開始MCHR服務的對象為人權運動者,隨後即涉入多項公眾任務,從貧窮問題到越戰,之後更挑戰整個美國醫療體制。
MCHR醫生在服務的過程中,很快便意識到要消解種族隔離現象,關鍵不僅在於提供人權運動者醫療照護,而是在揭露並糾正「醫療」體制中存在的隔離歧視現象。
雖然教育才是種族融合的最大戰場,存在於醫療體制中的隔離與歧視所帶來的社會不正義,其後果也同等慘烈。
獲獎無數的本書作者,秉持著身為一個歷史學家的使命感,在本書中詳實動人地描述了一群理想主義者如何投入改革美國醫療體制的過程,使貧困者也有獲得醫療照護的平等機會。(RY & KC)

Reviews:
“The Good Doctors should be required reading for every American who views quality health care as a basic human right.”---David Oshinsky, author of Polio: An American Story, winner of the 2006 Pulitzer Prize in History 2006年普立茲獎得主

“Deeply researched, brilliantly conceived, beautifully written and unsparing in its analysis of every character who walks across its pages, The Good Doctors is a triumph of passionate scholarship and balanced judgment.”---James H. Jones, author of Bad Blood: The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment

“This book is an historical landmark. Dittmer’s chronicle of civil rights health care workers is captivating. All of us need to appreciate these brave pioneers.”---Alvin F. Poussaint, M.D., Harvard Medical School 哈佛大學醫學院

“Civil-rights historian Dittmer focuses on one of the lesser-known groups involved in the struggle… Dittmer reveals the motivations of many of the organization’s leaders, and he paints a disturbing picture of the shameful treatment of both black doctors and patients in the South. In the early chapters he writes vividly of the challenges facing civil-rights workers and of the brutality—beatings, jailings, killings—inflicted on them… A stark reminder not just of the actions of a group of idealistic activists but of the violence and turmoil of the nation’s not-so-distant past.”---Kirkus

“The Good Doctors is an important, dramatic and timely contribution to our understanding of racism in medicine and health equity in America.”---Fitzhugh Mullan, M.D., George Washington University
