Cover image from White Coat, Clenched Fist: The Political Education of an American Physician (New York, Macmillan, 1976), by Dr. Fitzhugh Mullan. His memoir of his own politicization and that of many other medical students and residents during the 1960s became the starting point for many analyses of the "medical left" during the era of the Viet Nam War, a period which coincided with the introduction of the modern concept of Family Medicine into health care policy and medical education.
