Beskrivning
The business of medicine is a complex mix of thorns and roses – where the reality of profit-driven priorities from corporations and insurance companies clashes with the compassion of clinicians providing care at great personal cost. Through the perspectives of patients, physicians, clinicians, medical students, and nurses, The Making of a Doctor highlights the challenges faced by both patients and healthcare providers. This collection of essays uncovers pivotal moments– from the denial of essential medical care by insurance companies to the emotional toll that this work has had on clinicians, some of whom have considered leaving medicine due to the pressures they face – to demonstrate the dire state of our medical systems.The Making of a Doctor sheds light on the harmful impact of a system that prioritizes profits over people, exposing the widespread issues of patient neglect and clinician burnout seen in healthcare systems around the world. Despite these challenges, the collection also points to a path forward – offering solutions for reform and a sustainable approach to providing medical care that places humanity at the centre of the practice.

Recensioner i media

“This collection is equal parts playful and poetic, magical realism à la Gabriel García Márquez mixed with the sagacious wit of Brecht, in its rare, forceful, and clear-eyed critique of political injustice. The Making of a Doctor is essential reading for those who seek to understand medical training and practice in the twenty-first century.” - Chase J. Webber, DO, FACP, Associate Professor of Medicine and Biomedical Informatics “A deeply significant examination of how the transformation in medicine from a patient-centered profession to a transactional business has eroded the humanity in patient care as well as the physician’s sense of self, autonomy, and agency. Izmaylov eloquently captures the crisis slowly unfolding in offices and exam rooms, and in the hearts of those who once saw medicine as their calling, and provides sage advice on how the medical profession can move forward.” - Mark A. Goldstein, MD, Founding Chief Emeritus, Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital
