"Quacks and Grafters" by Anonymous shines a light on the dark corners of the medical world in the early 1900s; the book exposes the widespread deception and corruption happening in the healthcare system, particularly the growth of fake doctors and unreliable treatments. The author kicks things off by painting a grim picture of medicine at the time, pointing out the problem of fake medical schools and how many doctors were more interested in money than morals. The book suggests that things will only get better if people start paying attention and demanding higher standards for honesty and effectiveness in medicine, putting the responsibility on the public to help fix the problems.
