Sacred Trust

Doctor. In most people, the very word evokes a spectrum of reverent adjectives … Intelligent, powerful, all-knowing, infallible, demi-god. Or sometimes … JERK. The last description comes courtesy of Dr. Hollenbeck who ought to know. She has spent her entire adult life as a physician and has crossed swords with many a doctor who should have chosen a different line of work. Dr. Hollenbeck shares her insider’s view into the art and practice of medicine, and opens a window into its soul. This entertaining look at real-world medical care comes from woman who’s been a family physician for the past three decades, knows her way around the medical profession, and speaks up about its unflattering angles. With a wry sense of humor and a no-holds-barred writing style, Dr. Hollenbeck pops the balloon of sanctity that insulates those at the top of the medicine machine, exposing its glitches and recommending a much-needed overhaul to make it hum.
