The Kitchen Shrink is a riveting, emotional journey of how one young woman doctor tries to fight an ailing medical system, as it transforms into the for-profit healthcare industry. Dr. Wang’s story is a beautifully told, first-person account of how her professional life devolved from one of altruism as a new medical school graduate — where the patient always came first — to the profit -driven emphasis of today’s medicine.
Essential reading for today’s health care battles and tomorrow’s, Dr. Wang’s page-turner memoir brings human faces into today’s health care debates. A highly personal account of the life or death stakes within today’s reform-worthy system, The Kitchen Shrink reveals the history of the American health care system, and answers questions such as, “What happened to the doctor who made house calls?” and “When did insurance companies begin making medical decisions?”
