Healing Healthcare

In the past, "bedside manner" was a powerful medicine practiced by physicians. However, this crucial skill has now been lost behind the overwhelming technology in healthcare, leaving generic and impersonal interactions with patients. While high-tech tools may seem like a solution, they are alarmingly ineffective in treating chronic illnesses and health issues caused by unhealthy lifestyles. This has led to a demand for healthcare reform in America, but true change can only come from restoring intimate relationships between patient and doctor. In Healing Healthcare, Dr. Jeff Kane delves into the root causes of this problem and explores the harmful effects it has on both doctors and patients. By examining our society's obsession with medical technology, avoidance of death at any cost, and enabling of unhealthy lifestyles, Kane illustrates the need for doctors to see their patients as individuals and engage in personal healing interactions.
