In riveting first-person prose, Dr. Brendan Reilly takes us to the front lines of medicine today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhipsawed by daily crises and frustra­tions, Reilly must deal with several daunting challenges simultaneously: the extraordinary patients under his care on the teeming wards of a renowned teaching hospital; the life-threatening illnesses of both of his ninety-year-old parents; and the tragic memory of a cold case from long ago that haunts him still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs Reilly's patients and their families survive close calls, struggle with heartrending decisions, and confront the limits of medicine's power to cure, One Doctor lays bare a fragmented, depersonal­ized, business-driven health-care system where real caring is hard to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery day, Reilly sees patients who fall through the cracks and suffer harm because they lack one doctor who knows them well and relentlessly advocates for their best interests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFilled with fascinating characters in New York City and rural New England-people with dark secrets, mysterious illnesses, impos­sible dreams, and many kinds of courage - One Doctor tells their stories with sensitivity and empathy, reminding us of professional values once held dear by all physicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut medicine has changed enormously during Reilly's career, for both better and worse, and One Doctor is a cautionary tale about those changes. It is also a hopeful, inspiring account of medicine's poten­tial to improve people's lives, Reilly's quest to understand the truth about doctoring, and a moving testament to the difference one doctor can make.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52830402085080,"sku":"YSL48057","price":9.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/915eavhjKIL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793191252","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b00a28gtly","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
