<p>Tale an intimate journey with a concerned physician during the last year of her participation in managed health care. Excerpts from her journal express the heart and soul of an anguished physician. Dismayed by the lack of understanding about the true impact of changes brought on by "managed care," she collected stories and viewpoints from her patients which dramatically capture their feelings and opinions about the new health care model. Essays also highlight the impact of managed care on physicians and other health care and professionals and employees. Their lives, careers, and aspirations have been painfully unsettled. Why do physicians cooperate in spite of their anger and misery? Several essays provide insight into this seemingly inexplicable behavior. The book explores the spiritual dimension of the physician-patient relationship; one that is excluded by present managed health care mandates. Viable alternatives and solutions are suggested for healing our current health care system.</p>
