About this item
by Bernard Patten (Author)
What happens when a seasoned physician pulls back the curtain on America's health care system?
Dr. Bernard M. Patten has lived medicine from every angle: patient, doctor, advocate, and critic. With wit, candor, and unflinching honesty, he takes readers on an eye-opening journey through decades of encounters that reveal both the brilliance and the failures of modern medicine.
From the golden age of doctor-patient trust to today's labyrinth of insurance denials, inflated costs, over-testing, and medical quackery, Patten exposes a system where profits too often come before patients. Along the way, he shares vivid stories about hospitals, doctors, insurance companies, and the people caught in between.
This book is a call for clarity, skepticism, and empowerment. Readers will come away better prepared to navigate the complexities of American healthcare, armed with knowledge, perspective, and a critical eye. If you want to understand what went wrong with the most expensive health care system in the world, The Great American Medical Show will inform, provoke, and inspire.
