Samuel Shem
The sequel to the best-selling and highly acclaimed The House of God
Years after the events of The House of God, the Fat Man has been given leadership over a new Future of Medicine Clinic at what is now only Man's 4th Best Hospital, and has persuaded Dr. Roy Basch and some of his intern cohorts to join him to teach a new generation of interns and residents. In a medical landscape dominated by computer screens and corrupted by money, they have one goal: to make medicine humane again.
What follows is a mesmerizing, heartbreaking, and hilarious exploration of how the health-care industry, and especially doctors, have evolved over the past 30 years.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“Samuel Shem has challenged generations of doctors in his writing to think deeply about why they chose medicine. His novels illuminate the humanistic core of clinical care, and serve as a bulwark against a system increasingly characterized by avarice and anonymity.” (Jerome Groopman, MD, author of How Doctors Think)
“If you want to know why the doctor spends all visit looking at a computer instead of you, and if you want to know how the doctor feels about it, this is the book for you: a mordantly funny tour through modern medicine with a powerful prescription for how to change." (Bill McKibben, best-selling author of The End of Nature and Radio Free Vermont)
“As he did in The House of God, Samuel Shem provides a bitter, caustic and overdue update on the cold and bureaucratic world that awaits the sick and the dying if they are lucky enough to be able to afford it.” (Arthur Caplan, professor of Bioethics at New York University Langone Medical Center)

The truth about medicine

As a health care provider with over 50 years experience, I loved this. The decline of the American medical system is all too real. I have my own set of horror stories about insurance companies, billing errors, and the worst of all: electronic medical records! Yes, it takes 65 clicks to write a simple prescription!
While this is a fictional tale, the situations are all too real, and getting worse. The almightly dollar reigns supreme, and we are not patients but customers, often unable to decipher the maze of medical/legal information.
The stories do wander a bit but overall, this is a great snapshot of medical practice today.
I think this quote from one of docs is the summary of the medical dilemma today: Their mission is monetary!
