A Return To Healing

Drawing from their extensive experience in primary care and backed by decades of academic research, primary care physicians Andy Lazris, MD, and Alan Roth, DO, unravel the complexities of the modern health care system in A Return to Healing. Through a wealth of patient stories and meticulous research, they dig into the roots of American health care challenges and seek its cure.

Utilising poignant patient narratives and rigorous analysis, Lazris and Roth expose the flaws in our modern approach to health care. The book dissects the current philosophy of medical care, addressing foundational issues in health care infrastructure, the pitfalls of screening, the dishonesty of the pharmaceutical industry, and a lack of common sense among health care providers. By exploring common diseases and medical scenarios, demonstrating how doctors arrive at their conclusions, and focusing on the perverse incentives and outdated training that drive doctors to rely on protocols and numerical-based care, Lazris and Roth demonstrate what is wrong with the system and reveal how to fix it.

Advocating for patient empowerment, the book offers a road map for reform that is accessible to patients and policymakers alike. This solution-oriented approach aims to dismantle barriers to patient-centred care and foster informed decision-making. In this compelling critique and call to action, A Return to Healing provides a clear path towards a more equitable and effective health care system.
