As Reilly's patients and their families survive close calls, struggle with heartrending decisions, and confront the limits of medicine's power to cure, One Doctor lays bare a fragmented, depersonalized, business-driven health-care system where real caring is hard to find. Whipsawed by daily crises and frustrations, Reilly must deal with several daunting challenges simultaneously: the extraordinary patients under his care on the teeming wards of a renowned teaching hospital the life-threatening illnesses of both of his ninety-year-old parents and the tragic memory of a cold case from long ago that haunts him still. Brendan Reilly takes us to the front lines of medicine today. An epic story told by a unique voice in American medicine, One Doctor describes life-changing experiences in the career of a distinguished physician.
