"...These are solutions founded in a primary care-based model that the authors bring forth that need to be explored if we hope to repair health care delivery in our country. A must read for healthcare leaders seeking to make this change happen"

"Andy Lazris and Alan Roth's book offers profound insights into modern health care, blending clinical expertise with practical wisdom... I strongly recommend this timely and transformative book for those interested in healing health care."

This book describes how medicine had a choice 100 years ago – care for the whole person or care for the laboratory test. It chose the test and now the person has been lost. Here is that story, and how to get back to person-centered care and healing. A must read for all.

Real people. Real problems. A Return to Healing is a detailed, poignant screed about the mess that is US health care today, and it points us to clear solutions.

BAM! POW! Drs. Lazris and Roth take on American medicine in this comprehensive review of how our so-called health care system consistently fails the needs of patients and families. Using their extensive clinical experience, they highlight the greed, corruption, and stupidity that takes the focus away from the patient to a system increasingly focused on illconceived metrics and money.

A Return to Healing will not please everyone, but it cries out to everyone who is wondering how we got to where we are. It pleads for a change in the medical and public culture to ask honest but hard questions about our diagnosis and treatment goals. This book sets out to change the way we look at disease and weigh the opportunity to intervene. It begs the question – are we helping?
