"DOCTORS ON TRIAL has been written so that readers can understand the health crisis in the way it affects them as patients and the doctors with whom they come into contact. Using the dramatic setting of a court of inquiry, the arguments from both sides are examined point by point in a rigorous, compelling debate. The court invites the people in whose hands we place our lives to take the stand and answer the case against them. Leading doctors face a barrage of accusations: malpractice; incompetence; abuse of prescription drugs; unnecessry surgery; exorbitant fees; a growing impersonal attitude to all of us as patients; as well as a conscious denial of the true causes of serious illness...The courtroom personnel are fictional but all the statements they make are either medically accepted statements of fact or else are taken from the pages of the most reputable medical journals. " ; 9-1/2" Tall; 320 pages .

Sections look at slum housing, immigration, attitudes to women, poverty, violence and crime. The book examines how the brutal killings were reported and how the police tried to identify the murderer.
