Resumen del Editor
Hoping for the stability he needs to start a family, Sandeep Jauhar, an attending cardiologist, accepts a position at a massive teaching hospital on the outskirts of Queens. With a decade'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' morale is low and getting lower. Blatant cronyism determines patient referrals, corporate ties distort medical decisions, and unnecessary tests are routinely performed in order to generate income. Meanwhile, a single patient in Jauhar's hospital might see 15 specialists in one stay and still fail to receive a full picture of his actual condition.
In Doctored, Jauhar has chronicled the formative years of his residency while observing first-hand the crisis of American medicine through the eyes of a cardiologist.

Historia
Leaving a life marked by crippling setbacks and his father's doubt, in 1967 a 20-something doctor from India arrived in America with only five dollars and the desire to claim his American dream. Faced with an entirely new culture, racism, and the lasting effects of disabling childhood injuries, through hard work and perseverance he overcame all odds. Now having performed over 15,000 open-heart surgeries, more than nearly every surgeon in history, Dr. Singh reflects on his most memorable patients and his incredible personal life.

Historia
There’s a quiet revolution happening in the way we die. More than 1.5 million Americans a year die in hospice care - nearly 44 percent of all deaths - and a vast industry has sprung up to meet the growing demand. Once viewed as a New Age indulgence, hospice is now a $14 billion business and one of the most successful segments in health care. Changing the Way We Die, by award-winning journalists Fran Smith and Sheila Himmel, is the first book to take a broad, penetrating look at the hospice landscape.

Historia
San Francisco's Laguna Honda Hospital is the last almshouse in the country, a descendant of the Hôtel-Dieu (God's hotel) that cared for the sick in the Middle Ages. Ballet dancers and rock musicians, professors and thieves - "anyone who had fallen, or, often, leapt, onto hard times" and needed extended medical care - ended up here. So did Victoria Sweet, who came for two months and stayed for 20 years. Laguna Honda, lower-tech but human-paced, gave Sweet the opportunity to practice a kind of attentive medicine that has almost vanished.

In her former career as an English professor, Theresa Brown had been shielded from the harsh reality of death. That all changed the day she decided to become an oncology nurse. In Critical Care, Theresa writes powerfully and honestly about her first year on the hospital floor. With great compassion and a disarming sense of humor, she shares the trials and triumphs of her patients and comes to realize that caring for a patient means much more than simply treating a disease.

Like so many of us, award-winning writer Katy Butler always assumed her aging parents would experience healthy, active retirements before dying peacefully at home. Then her father suffered a stroke that left him incapable of easily finishing a sentence or showering without assistance. Her mother was thrust into full-time caregiving, and Katy became one of the 24 million Americans who help care for aging parents. In an effort to correct a minor and non - life threatening heart arrhythmia, doctors outfitted her father with a pacemaker.

Within months, her frontal lobe, the seat of cognition, began shutting down. She descended into madness, exhibiting dementia- and schizophrenia-like symptoms that terrified her family and coworkers. But miraculously, the immunotherapy her doctors had prescribed worked quickly. Just eight weeks after her nightmare began, Lipska returned to normal. With one difference: she remembered her brush with madness with exquisite clarity.

On average, a physician will interrupt a patient describing her symptoms within 12 seconds. In that short time, many doctors decide on the likely diagnosis and best treatment. Often, decisions made this way are correct, but at crucial moments they can also be wrong: with catastrophic consequences. In this myth-shattering book, Jerome Groopman pinpoints the forces and thought processes behind the decisions doctors make.

In medical charts, the term "N.A.D." (No Apparent Distress) is used for patients who appear stable. The phrase also aptly describes America's medical system when it comes to treating the underprivileged. Medical students learn on the bodies of the poor - and the poor suffer from their mistakes. Rachel Pearson confronted these harsh realities when she started medical school in Galveston, Texas.

Historia
For centuries, the human heart seemed beyond our understanding: an inscrutable shuddering mass that was somehow the driver of emotion and the seat of the soul. As cardiologist and best-selling author Sandeep Jauhar tells in The Heart, it was only recently that we demolished age-old taboos and devised the transformative procedures that changed the way we live. Deftly alternating between historical episodes and his own work, Jauhar tells the colorful and little known story of the doctors who risked their careers and the patients who risked their lives to know and heal our most vital organ.

Historia
San Francisco's Laguna Honda Hospital is the last almshouse in the country, a descendant of the Hôtel-Dieu (God's hotel) that cared for the sick in the Middle Ages. Ballet dancers and rock musicians, professors and thieves - "anyone who had fallen, or, often, leapt, onto hard times" and needed extended medical care - ended up here. So did Victoria Sweet, who came for two months and stayed for 20 years. Laguna Honda, lower-tech but human-paced, gave Sweet the opportunity to practice a kind of attentive medicine that has almost vanished.

Frank, inside perspective on the follies of unintended consequences in medical reform
It is also a personal story, touching on the common midlife crisis and search for professional meaning as a career in medicine did not turn quite as expected. The reality of skewed incentives in the field, overdiagnosis, and over-treatment does not get the publicity of under-access to healthcare, although they probably are related. Reviewers who accuse the author of *&^ing that he does not make enough money either completely missed the point or did not finish the book.

Managed Care and the State of Medicine
As a health care worker, I found this book depressing. However, in 38 years I have seen a hospital close, numerous solo practitioners selling their practices, and HMOs gobbling up the real estate.
I have personally fallen victim to unnecessary tests that come with huge price tags (MRIs, CAT scans, echocardiograms, and 2 cerebral angiograms). All normal, but expensive and anxiety producing.
I am beginning to wonder if doctors have become technicians and have lost the ability to diagnose a problem without imaging. I wonder, too, if my doctors are like Dr. Jauhar depending on referrals and are pressured by the HMO to produce more revenue. Pressured to do procedures when other ways will do as well, if not better.
I am happy he has found balance in his life. I lost count of the times I said "Move!" Who would want to live in Manhattan??

Lost.
A long chain of patient cases with personal life interjectures. Nothing new if you are in the industry already. The drama is tolerable if you listen at fast speed. I expected more of an analytical approach from MD/PhD., but instead I've got to listen to unending moral struggle,. However, I did get an occasional laugh from description of patient encounters. Perhaps all can be fixed by living within your own means Dr. Jauhar, as your father suggested.

Jauhar auspicious brilliance!
Reading books by the same authors communicates in action, and it’s something not requiring explanation. Sandeep Jauhar is human, and we learn first-hand about private practice and how “lovey dovey” (is the norm) in “Doctored: The Disillusionment of an American Physician.” Caring for the patient requires some extreme interventions.
Many physicians' use the “Halloween Voice” or the word “Cancer” despite---no indication of its presence---to scare one into health. Does this really work? When did going “Halloween” ever work on anyone not classified as a caveman/woman? Referring to physicians as knaves/swords is hilarious as is his self-deprecating rants that convey his brilliance and humility.
“Success is judged not by the position you reach in life but by the obstacles you have overcome...Callahan got up and wrote: extend life, prevent suffering, yes...hasten death, no...”
---Sandeep Jauhar, MD
Dr. Jauhar strongly voices frustrations with our medical system. Doctor bashing takes the spotlight in this book. Jauhars’ angst is a common chronic diarrheal theme. Throughout we can picture a cartoon of media of this sensational Cardiologist’ face being illustrated and artist pens “Stooge” instead of Sandeep.
“Doctored: The Disillusionment of an American Physician” is a despotic listen on Audible. The intonations bring respiration to his family characters. Sadly, this famous Cardiologist gets fired for not bringing in enough money to the private practice that welcomed him after being vetted by family. Read, laugh and share.

Disappointed
The insight of this story is useful but there is too much creative liberty taken and misinformation given about end of life for comfort. Not to mention the overt sexism without acknowledgement of the author’s own male privilege.

Hours and hours of compaining
Would you try another book from Sandeep Jauhar and/or Patrick Lawlor?
No way. The author seemed incredibly wrapped up in making money to send his kids to expensive private schools. So much complaining, I couldn't take it. Could have been a productive discussion about the real challenges of being a doctor, but instead it was a steady drip of unhelpful whining and hand wringing.

So What
Maybe if I had listened to this book in 1950 (I wasn’t alive yet), I would have found it more interesting. In the 21st century, the average person is way past doctor worship regardless of how much she or he makes in salary. There is nothing refreshing in knowing or following the life and opinions of a doctor engrossed in the greedy, unethical medical machine. Sharing he likes to help people doesn’t help. So does mechanics, clothing salesmen, cashiers and a thousand other professions.
