Description
Thirty years of experience as a GP have given Phil Whitaker a unique perspective on the challenges facing the NHS. In this candid and insightful book, he shares his stories and case studies to expose the problems with political interference in medical treatment and the shift away from patient-centred care.
A damning portrait of the current state of healthcare, What Is a Doctor? offers a thought-provoking look at the future of the NHS. With honesty and authority, Whitaker argues for a return to patient-centred care and explores ways to address the systemic issues that are driving doctors out of practice.
