Présentation de l'éditeur

This text sets out to be human, reflective and challenging, and should be useful reading for all doctors, particularly for trainers, GP registrars and academic tutors. Written by a practising GP, the book critically examines early 21st-century NHS trends and also explores the broader scientific base underlying our ideas about health and the provision of healthcare. Drawing on his own experience, and upon case histories, contemporary literature and research reviews, the author discusses the different viewpoints of patients and doctors and gives a new slant on the sociology of medicine, urging a move from the mechanistic, to the holistic approach in doctors' attitudes towards their patients.
