Synopsis "Physician: How Science Transformed the art of Medicine"
What happened that changed the priest&mdash,the revered healer of antiquity&mdash,into a person of science? How was the modern doctor made?Physician is Rajeev Kurapati&rsquo,s earnest attempt to answer this question and others central to the practice of medicine. For instance, how have the advances of medical technology influenced society&rsquo,s perception of death? How do physicians balance thinking with feeling when dealing with critically ill patients? How do we meet the needs of patients seeking a personal connection to their doctor in what may seem to be an emotionally deficient medical landscape? Is it possible to overcome some of the compromises we&rsquo,ve had to make along the way? What is the promise of modern medicine and its limitations? And notably&mdash,as medical care becomes more and more digitized and automated, will the medical degree&mdash,a universal badge of respectability&mdash,continue to hold value? ,Dr. Kurapati, a practicing hospital physician, succeeds in gracefully exploring the depths of what it really means to be a doctor&mdash,and a patient&mdash,at this time in our human history, and his blueprint for building a stronger future of healthcare is an important and valuable one._,
