About The Book You're a doctor and you know a lot about medicine. But do you know a lot about the real world? Doctors learn a lot in medical school, but not enough. Only rarely will a course teach practical, useful, or pragmatic information to help with the myriad decisions that arise in day-to-day life. Dr. Harbin wrote this book to fill the gap: to help doctors deal with the business aspects of medicine, help doctors in training learn how to evaluate opportunities for the future, and assist practicing doctors in dealing with the questions arising day-to-day and when planning for the future. Reviews "Excellent advice for all stages of a career in medicine. I truly wish this had been available to me when I finished training." DAVID A. DURFEE, M.D., RENOWNED PRACTICE MANAGEMENT EXPERT. "Dr. Harbin provides a practical assessment of the business issues facing physicians at every stage in their career. This is a 'must read' filled with thousands of pearls." BRUCE MALLER, PRESIDENT, BSM CONSULTING "In this evolving healthcare environment, it's not enough to be a healer. Physicians must know the business aspects of medicine as well." GIL WEBER, OWNER/PRINCIPAL, GIL WEBER, MBA CONSULTANT GO PHYSICIANS AND INDUSTRY. "Dr Harbin's book is a must read for this day in age when medicine so closely intercepts with the business world. In our dynamic environment of health care reform, Dr. Harbin has carefully crafted a unique perspective for the ophthalmologist to raise awareness about business skills and how to succeed in our profession." ROB MELENDEZ, MD, MBA, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, PEARLS IN OPHTHALMOLOGY AND AAO YO INFO

Imagine trusting a doctor--with the best reputation in the state--to do surgery on your eyes. Now imagine the worst of outcomes. Blindness in an eye that you learn, in fact, never needed surgery. And the medical center where you were treated is ignoring the problem. Waking Up Blind is the story of how an eye surgeon became the cause of an array of medical problems for his patients. It is also the story of how one of the nation's premier medical centers tried to conceal the growing scandal. The faculty who exposed the problems were punished. Official committees and the university leaders minimized the misconduct. Slowly, lawsuits and publicity brought some to light in bits and pieces. With the use of court documents, transcripts of tape-recorded conversations, interviews, and personal observation, Dr. Tom Harbin presents this case from the very beginning, uncovering all levels of wrongdoing and secrecy. Waking Up Blind will shock the reader with its candid exploration of the dark side of medicine.
