Abstract
Abstract Some observers view professionals as the new mandarins of the workplace. Eliot Freidson writes of “professional dominance” in medicine, law, and education.1 Both Daniel Bell and John Kenneth Galbraith argue that professionals inexorably accrue power as scientific and other professional knowledge grow in importance.2 If they are correct, this doctor would speak for most professionals: “We run our show here. We set this place up to run medicine our own way.”
