Equal Partners: A Physician's Call for a New Spirit of Medicine

"Equal Partners is a narrative of remarkable vividness, sobriety, clarity, and balance. Jody Heymann has plumbed patienthood to its depths, and has reentered medicine as a deep listener to patients and their needs, and as an advocate for a medicine which does not infantilize but recognizes individuality and autonomy, and makes patients equal partners with their physicians."--Oliver Sacks

A must read for humanity

Anyone who uses the American health care system or works in it should read this book.
