520    "In The Patient Will See You Now, Eric Topol, one of the 
       nation's top physicians, examines what he calls medicine's
       Gutenberg moment--much as the printing press took learning
       out of the hands of a priestly class, the internet is 
       doing the same for medicine, giving us unprecedented 
       control over our healthcare. With smartphones in hand, we 
       are no longer beholden to an impersonal and paternalistic 
       medical system. Medicine has been digitized, Topol argues,
       now it's time for it to be democratized. Provocative and 
       engrossing, The Patient Will See You Now is about all that
       lies ahead in a world of digital, democratic medicine, 
       including fair discussion of a range of potential 
       downsides, from privacy violations to intransigence on the
       part of the medical powers that be. Indeed, though many in
       the medical establishment will resist Topol's vision, he 
       argues convincingly that medicine has been authoritarian 
       for far too long, and that not changing the course of 
       medicine will incur steep costs for us all. It's time to 
       put the tools of medicine, and the power that goes with 
       them, into the hands of the people"--|cProvided by
