Many physicians today feel that they are not in control of their careers, but are rather walking on an unstable tightrope to meet their occupational, familial, and personal needs. Provoked by this unsettling experience, practicing cardiologist and author Dr. Sandeep Jauhar has written an introspective memoir called Doctored: The Disillusionment of an American Physician, which also serves as an impassioned plea for reform. With American medicine at a crossroads, Doctored is the important work of a writer unafraid to challenge the establishment and incite controversy.
