About this title

Synopsis

Through the ingenious use of combining science fiction with industry expertise, Stephen K. Klasko, a practicing physician, and Gregory P. Shea, Wharton faculty member and health-care consultant, pose this provocative question: What if a medical resident was abducted by aliens in 1985, and through advanced technology was imparted a full understanding of the health-care system of the future? Mila undergoes this phenomenal experience and her life changes forever as she discovers an exciting and improved future in medicine.
