Told by a unique voice in American medicine, this epic story recounts lifechanging experiences in the career of a distinguished physician, and is described by The New York Times as a true service [to history]. Dr. Reilly deserves a resounding bravo for telling it like it is. Malcolm Gladwell agrees: Brendan Reilly has written a beautiful book about a forgotten subjectwhat it means for a physician to truly care for a patient.Every review of One Doctor noted its beautiful writing and compelling story, the riveting tension and suspense. Remarkable with heartpounding pace and drama (Publishers Weekly);a gripping, moving memoir (Abraham Verghese); a terrific read (The Boston Globe);an astonishingly moving and incredibly personal account of a modern doctor (The Lancet).In compelling firstperson prose, Dr. Brendan Reilly takes readers to the front lines of medicine today. Whipsawed by daily crises and frustrations, Reilly must deal with several daunting challenges simultaneously. As Reillys patients and their families survive close calls, struggle with heartrending decisions, and confront the limits of medicines power to cure, One Doctor lays bare a fragmented, depersonalized, businessdriven health care system where real caring is hard to find. Every day, Reilly sees patients who fall through the cracks and suffer harm because they lack one doctor who knows them well and relentlessly advocates for their best interests. Filled with fascinating characters in New York City and rural New Englandpeople with dark secrets, mysterious illnesses, impossible dreams, and limitless courageOne Doctor tells their stories with sensitivity and empathy, reminding us of professional values once held dear by all physicians.
