Why We Revolt, 2nd Edition: A Patient Revolution for Careful and Kind Care

Summary

In a series of brief and personal essays, Why We Revolt describes what is wrong with industrial healthcare, how it has corrupted its mission, and how it has stopped caring. Montori rescues the language of patient care to propose a revolution of compassion and solidarity, of unhurried conversations, and of careful and kind care. In this brave book, Dr. Montori channels George Orwell to expose the corruption — and absurdity — of health care. Filled with compassionate and clear-eyed observations, Why we Revolt will leave you fired up, no matter what side of the gurney you are on – Julia Belluz, senior health correspondent at Vox.com.
