Hospitals, Doctors, Patients: is a review of the changing ethics of the practice of medicine as seen by a physician with 50 years of clinical experience. Punctuated with episodes from the world of patient care, it emphasis the shift away from care of the patient to the treatment of disease. The change in professional attitudes is a manifestation of the change of ethics in society at large, reflected in what has been termed the monetization of medicine. This has resulted in the transformation of what was once a ministry into a scientific profession and now into a business. The book offers some suggestions as to how it might be possible to restore caring for the patient to the disappearing art of medicine.
