and the Doctor is "Critically Ill!"
A Family Practice Memoire Exposing the Real Forces Behind our Health Care System's Quality and Cost Issues
Alan D. Cato, M.D. alancato.md@gmail.com
"Medicine, dead as a profession, is alive and well today as medicine the business. "With each passing year, the ranks of the physicians who trained and practiced when it was a profession are being diluted by a generation of medical school graduates whose motivations, ambitions and goals have been influenced by and developed within, medicine the business."
How does the current state of medicine affect the quality of care you and your family receive? If quality is going down, why are costs skyrocketing? Is health care reform missing the mark?
Injected with a healthy dose of warm, real-life hometown doctor anecdotes, this book reveals growing problems in medicine from bedside to boardroom...and doesn't hesitate to point fingers along the way.
Those who are considering entering the medical field, those who are concerned about their own family's health care – and those who are charged with fixing the nation's health care mess – will gain valuable insight through this doctor's experience, dedication and candor.
