Hoping for the stability he needs to start a family, Sandeep Jauhar, an attending cardiologist, accepts a position at a massive teaching hospital on the outskirts of Queens. With a decade's worth of elite medical training behind him, he is eager to settle down and reap the rewards of countless sleepless nights. Instead, he is confronted with sobering truths. Doctors' morale is low and getting lower. Blatant cronyism determines patient referrals, corporate ties distort medical decisions, and unnecessary tests are routinely performed in order to generate income. Meanwhile, a single patient in Jauhar's hospital might see 15 specialists in one stay and still fail to receive a full picture of his actual condition.

In Doctored, Jauhar has chronicled the formative years of his residency while observing first-hand the crisis of American medicine through the eyes of a cardiologist.

A long chain of patient cases with personal life interjectures. Nothing new if you are in the industry already. The drama is tolerable if you listen at fast speed. I expected more of an analytical approach from MD/PhD., but instead I've got to listen to unending moral struggle,. However, I did get an occasional laugh from description of patient encounters. Perhaps all can be fixed by living within your own means Dr. Jauhar, as your father suggested.

Reading books by the same authors communicates in action, and it’s something not requiring explanation. Sandeep Jauhar is human, and we learn first-hand about private practice and how “lovey dovey” (is the norm) in “Doctored: The Disillusionment of an American Physician.” Caring for the patient requires some extreme interventions.

Many physicians' use the “Halloween Voice” or the word “Cancer” despite---no indication of its presence---to scare one into health. Does this really work? When did going “Halloween” ever work on anyone not classified as a caveman/woman? Referring to physicians as knaves/swords is hilarious as is his self-deprecating rants that convey his brilliance and humility.

“Success is judged not by the position you reach in life but by the obstacles you have overcome...Callahan got up and wrote: extend life, prevent suffering, yes...hasten death, no...”
---Sandeep Jauhar, MD

Dr. Jauhar strongly voices frustrations with our medical system. Doctor bashing takes the spotlight in this book. Jauhars’ angst is a common chronic diarrheal theme. Throughout we can picture a cartoon of media of this sensational Cardiologist’ face being illustrated and artist pens “Stooge” instead of Sandeep.

“Doctored: The Disillusionment of an American Physician” is a despotic listen on Audible. The intonations bring respiration to his family characters. Sadly, this famous Cardiologist gets fired for not bringing in enough money to the private practice that welcomed him after being vetted by family. Read, laugh and share.

Jauhar auspicious brilliance!
