Publisher's Summary:
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.

Whining Physician Doesn't Make Enough Money
Page after pathetically boring page on how this PhD physicist turned physician along with his physician wife, with a physician brother who runs an invasive cardiology clinic is getting "SCREWED" by the health care system.
He and his wife are not being compensated as he believes feel they should be.
I felt so "bad" about this physician's monetary situation I wrote him a $5.00 check and sent it to his publisher. LOL
Stupid book
Would you try another book from Sandeep Jauhar and/or Patrick Lawlor?
No way
What was most disappointing about Sandeep Jauhars story?
I hated this book, I could not even finish it, the guy basically complaining all the time and its all about his personal life. I felt he is insecure and he has lots of issues related to his culture, past and his family.
How could the performance have been better?
He needs psychotherapy.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Doctored?
The whole book
As enjoyable as a heart attack
What would have made Doctored better?
If it were about anything other than banal stories from a dude who went into medicine just to impress his parents. There is no evidence base. Plenty of doctors have similar difficult but don't become bitter. Contains no actionable information.
Would you ever listen to anything by Sandeep Jauhar again?
Never
Would you be willing to try another one of Patrick Lawlors performances?
Maybe
You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
None
Any additional comments?
I wish I could get a refund, honestly
great read!
it is a great and provoking book about our Healthcare system. the voice is excellent and delivered the message and emotions well.
Lost.
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.
