“We hung our heads, ashamed. It was, I suspected, not the first time that a patient had consoled a doctor about the ineffectuality of his discipline.”
― Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer

“Perhaps this is the solution to medicine’s midlife crisis, too: doctors focusing on their noble craft, their relationships with patients, the stuff over which we have some control. Ultimately, this may be the best hope for our professional salvation.”
― Sandeep Jauhar, Doctored: The Disillusionment of an American Physician

“Apart from the perverse incentives of our fee-for-service system, a major driver of overconsultation is the uncertainty engendered by the hurried pace of contemporary medicine.”
― Sandeep Jauhar, Doctored: The Disillusionment of an American Physician
