3.0 out of 5 stars Only got it because I had to for class.

I can't tell if I dislike this book simply because of the course I had to take or because I don't feel like it pertains to me. As a healthcare provider who doesn't really deal with the business aspect of things this book was just a bore and annoying to read. Seemed awfully repetative too. I'm sure to people who are into this stuff it's a great book. As a medical student it stunk. I had to buy it for class and hope to never have to see this book ever again. With that being said it might be a necessary evil for education and others may enjoy it.
