A Return to Healing examines the flaws of modern medicine, revealing how corporate interests, rigid protocols, and data-driven treatment models have replaced patient-centered care. The book explores the historical divide between Flexnerian and Oslerian medicine and offers a vision for a more compassionate, effective healthcare system.

The book exposes how insurance companies, pharmaceutical corporations, and profit-driven hospital systems have shaped medicine into a business, often prioritizing financial incentives over patient well-being. It highlights over-medicalization, physician burnout, and the loss of personalized care, showing how these issues impact both patients and doctors.

• Flexnerian Medicine (modern model) prioritizes standardized treatments, protocols, and corporate oversight, often limiting physician autonomy and focusing on numbers over individual patient needs.
• Oslerian Medicine (historical model) is centered on the doctor-patient relationship, clinical intuition, and individualized care, allowing physicians more freedom to treat based on patient needs rather than rigid guidelines.
