David Widgery was a socialist GP who worked in the East End of
London. For him medicine was as much about the social causes of
illness as it was biological. He believed that if wealth were more
evenly distributed, society and its members would be healthier.
Working in and fighting for the NHS symbolised his wider view of
the world. This book tackles the difficult issues surrounding
doctors' roles, including whether they should ignore or embrace the
social causes of illness. It looks at the unique perspective of
David Widgery's life in exploring these issues, and also considers
why medicine at times is disheartening. General practitioners,
other doctors, and those who shape and make health policy will all
find this book stimulating and enlightening reading.
