Abstract: (Producer) This program investigates the changing role of the physician from healer to businessman. It asks: do doctors who own their own high-tech equipment provide their patients with better continuity of care, or do they cross ethical boundaries in self interest? The AIDS report explores the link between sexual abuse and the spread of the AIDS virus among women. In Health update, experts discuss the likelihood that President Clinton will be able to keep all his promises to reform the health care system.
