In 'Uncaring: How the Culture of Medicine Kills Doctors and Patients,' Dr. Robert Pearl takes a hard look at the hidden practices and ingrained beliefs within the medical profession that negatively impact healthcare in America. Through his insightful analysis, Dr. Pearl reveals how these ingrained practices impact patient care and offers a path towards a more humane and effective healthcare system.
