Doctored, his harrowing follow-up, observes the crisis of American medicine through the eyes of an attending cardiologist. Hoping for the stability he needs to start a family, Jauhar accepts a position at a massive teaching hospital. With a decade\u0026#39;s worth of elite medical training behind him, he is eager to settle down and reap the rewards of countless sleepless nights. Instead, he is confronted with sobering truths. Doctors\u0026#39; morale is getting lower. Cronyism determines referrals, corporate ties distort medical decisions, and unnecessary tests are routinely performed to generate income. Meanwhile, a single patient might see fifteen specialists and still fail to receive a full picture of his actual condition. Jauhar has written an introspective memoir that is also an impassioned plea for reform.--From publisher description.","author_name":"Sandeep Jauhar","author_url":"https://hardcover.app/authors/sandeep-jauhar","thumbnail_url":"https://assets.hardcover.app/edition/30405522/df2a55134c3a5f4312fb4a97e019b84307fb73e6.jpeg","thumbnail_width":333,"thumbnail_height":500}
