DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen we think of a misfit, we often who willfully engages in the kind of behavior or attitude that sets them apart from others in an uncomfortable way. There are times when misfit behavior can turn out good, such as when a member of a football team chooses to disobey the coach’s instruction and scores a touchdown. There are other examples of misfits when ones behavior fails to follow protocol, makes others uncomfortable and causes harm. This book is about those who cause harm. In the final analysis, who or what is there to say about the “misfits” as a group? Unlike the physicians portrayed in “Monsters of Medicine,” there is no common thread that can best describe who they are or what drives them to behave the way they do. Rest assured, anti-social traits can be shown in all of them, but they are not shared nor are they consistent. The Hippocratic Oath, as sacred as it sounds, is to many of these missits a bunch of words conceived by an old Greek physician 2,000 years ago and has lost its signisicance. The lay public continues to put unadulterated faith in the physician. The ill patient, particularly if seriously ill, is vulnerable, grasping at anything which might hold hope of recovery. The unscrupulous physician sinds this patient as one easy sell to their misfit ways. Thus, the characters: “MISFITS OF MEDICINE."
