Drawing from their extensive experience in primary care and backed by decades of academic research, primary care physicians Andy Lazris, MD, and Alan Roth, DO, unravel the complexities of the modern health care system in A Return to Healing. Through a wealth of patient stories and meticulous research, they dig into the roots of American health care challenges and seek its cure.Utilizing poignant patient narratives and rigorous analysis, Lazris and Roth expose the flaws in our modern approach to health care. The book dissects the current philosophy of medical care, addressing foundational issues in health care infrastructure, the pitfalls of screening, the dishonesty of the pharmaceutical industry, and a lack of common sense among health care providers. By exploring common diseases and medical scenarios, demonstrating how doctors arrive at their conclusions, and focusing on the perverse incentives and outdated training that drive doctors to rely on protocols and numerical-based care, Lazris and Roth demonstrate what is wrong with the system and reveal how to fix it.Advocating for patient empowerment, the book offers a road map for reform that is accessible to patients and policymakers alike. This solution-oriented approach aims to dismantle barriers to patient-centred care and foster informed decision-making. In this compelling critique and call to action, A Return to Healing provides a clear path towards a more equitable and effective health care system.

This book demonstrates how a novel decision-aid, called a Benefit-Risk Characterization Theater (BRCT), can be used to:· Significantly improve accurate communication of health risks from exposure to COVID-19; and· Assess how to best contain and control COVID-19.To date, there have been far-reaching ramifications based on ineffective risk communication when clarifying these health endpoints.A BRCT is a familiar, theatrical chart representation of 1,000 people, with the risks and benefits shown by blackened seats. Since health outcomes can easily be put into such a chart, we show how BRCTs can be used objectively by professionals, the media and lay people. It allows characterization and communication of health benefits and risks of COVID-19 treatment and containment in an undemanding and straightforward way.BRCTs have been successfully used to assist patients in determining:· Their level of acceptable risk of various medical interventions;· If the benefits of intervention outweigh the risks;· Who should make the final decision regarding medical intervention; and· Whether the decision is evidence-based.Written by experts in the field, this book fills in a gap in communication between the medical community, the public and patients. It also provides an area of expertise in communication that is beneficial for medical providers and medical students.
