The Medical Jungle: A Pioneering Surgeon’s Battle to Revolutionize Vascular Care and Challenge the Medical Mafia

No matter your profession, The Medical Jungle will inspire you to have the courage to do what is right, even in the face of tremendous adversity. Join Dr. Frank Veith—one of America’s most celebrated vascular surgeons—as he illustrates that while your environment may feel like a fierce jungle, unwavering conviction can tame the elements.
Part captivating memoir, part exposé of a self-serving system, The Medical Jungle unveils numerous behind-the-scenes stories from an often opaque industry and recounts Dr. Veith’s tireless efforts to improve medical care for patients. With wisdom garnered from a seventy-year journey as a pioneering surgeon, Dr. Veith pulls back the curtain on the inner workings of innovative medical procedures, while candidly describing the self-interested parties that sought to either block or take credit for his progress. Always going against the grain for the greater good, Dr. Veith’s perseverance and determination will inspire anyone in any profession fighting the good fight.
The New York Times calls Dr. Veith “an unlikely radical,” and this inspirational book will motivate anyone who faces adversity at any level to stand up—to be radical—even when it is unpopular.
