This title takes up the apparent paradox of medical professionals resisting reforms designed to help them and their patients.

Trade Review
"Kellogg's vivid account of the struggle to implement important medical reform instructs, inspires, and terrifies. Unique in its range of arguments and the literature it draws on, Challenging Operations is a wonderful book for students of the sociology of medicine, health and illness, occupations, organizations, work, and social movements." (Carol Heimer, Northwestern University)"
