Unmasking Medicine
Six talks by Ian Kennedy , Reader in Law and Executive Director of the Centre of Law, Medicine and Ethics at King's College, London. 1: The Rhetoric of Medicine

' We must abandon, this state of dependence, we must become masters of medicine, not its servants.' (Repeated: Sun, R3)
