Healing Medicine

It's great being a doctor! ... Or is it? Respect, money, glamour, saving lives - most people think doctors have it all. But being a physician in modern America is not quite what most people think. Today, being a doctor is as much about paperwork and bureaucracy and unfair online reviews as it is about healthcare. And that's what Dr. Sine Nomine, MD takes issue with in her eye-opening new book, Healing Medicine. The way Dr. Sine Nomine, MD sees it, healthcare should be first, fore most, and always about patient care. When time-consuming and often petty tasks take away from doctors' ability to diagnose and care for their patients, something is very wrong. Healing Medicine will show you what it's like to be a doctor today as you make the rounds with a brilliant surgeon who finds herself beco ming more and more frustrated with the distractions and drudgery of her non-medical "duties," - after all, she spent years in medical school to heal the sick, not to fill out forms or spend hours on the phone with Blue Cross. By turns riveting, frightening, and hilarious, Healing Medicine is an insi der's look at today's healthcare system that will make you think twice about how today's doctors must spend their time.
