Doctors in the Movies, Boil the Water and Just Say Aah, by Peter E. Dans, looks at how Hollywood has portrayed medicine and doctors over the last sixty years as seen through the eyes of a physician. Dr. Dans blends a brief historical context with an in-depth discussion of more than seventy medically related films to clearly illustrate the stereotypes, clichés, and recurring themes in this genre of film.
