Our health care system is in need of care.
Few candidates would argue.
Today, we address two of several levels where our current system is in dire need of repair - physicians and corporate health care - in a "novel" light - fiction!
David Kerns M.D., professor of pediatrics at Stanford University Medical School, has uncovered and describes the underlying wound that afflicts physicians and administrators in their paradoxical quest, to both make a living and provide quality patient care. In his novel "Standard of Care," David narrates why we are bleeding as a nation, in a method those outside of health care can comprehend, and those on the inside will find heartwrenchingly honest and convicting. This book is a must read for anyone who wishes to address the future of health care in our country. Without this understanding, we are simply spending money to purchase bandaids to place over a deep wound that continues to bleed.
Several reader reviews of Standard of Care from Amazon are repeated below. Read more about Standard of Care and you'll appreciate why it does such a great job desdcribing our health care system.
Podcasts of David Kerns interviews on New Dimensions Radio, both a short cafe interview, and an hour long discussion of the critical problems in our health care system, are available in mp3 format.
Further information and links to articles regarding the U.S. Health Care Crisis can be found at David Kerns website.
For information on primary cancer prevention, the "cure" for our tragic cancer rate in the U.S. - one in two men and one in three women are expected to develop cancer - read Avoiding Cancer One Day At A Time.
