Uncaring

In this book, Dr. Robert Pearl delves into the unseen and often toxic culture of medicine, highlighting how physicians' earliest experiences in medical school shape their norms, beliefs, and expectations.

The book explores the disdain for technology, obsession with status, and complicated relationships with patients that many physicians develop.

Pearl provides a detailed analysis of how these cultural issues affect the healthcare system, leading to burnout, overtesting, and overprescribing.

He also offers a clear plan to improve American healthcare by restoring the physician-patient relationship and advocating for a more integrated, patient-centered care system.
