This is from a review by Joseph Rago of Chaos and Organization in Health Care:
Medicare recipients, on average, see seven doctors; patients with coronary artery disease see 10; those with lung cancer, 11. Usually these doctors don’t work together or even coordinate their care, resulting in errors, waste and a lower quality of treatment.
