This is a first-of-its-kind examination of the glaring inadequacies of the health care system in our world and brings to the forefront the myriad issues plaguing modern medicine. Dr Brian G Orr offers compelling evidence through his personal and professional experiences that the system is truly broken and in need of change. The stories in this moving book convincingly guide readers toward forming their own vision and the realisation of a more enlightened healthcare system. Tapping into the richness of his experiences practising medicine in the US and overseas, Dr Orr's accounts are full of compassion and conviction, strength and vulnerability, and bring the reader along on an amazing behind-the-scenes journey through the world of medicine. Real-life stories of everyday families spanning the globe from villages in Honduras and Guatemala to the suburbs of Boston will cause readers to re-examine the way they view their own healthcare system and provide them with a renewed sense of what is truly important in healthcare: the connection with their doctor.
