Overview

Candid and conscientious, Under the Collar: Frank Conversations about Healing that Harms explores the practice of medicine with unconventional palpability:
A lone hospitalist beseeches cessation of deleterious practices that further the ills of health care. Forget policies, protocols and patients. Healthcare providers and administrators nurture a toxic culture that cripples good medicine. Hurtling incident upon incident, this lone hospitalist illumes fallacies that erupt into bad medicine. Even she cannot evade scrutiny or ridicule.
Based on over 15 years of actual clinical experiences as an Internist and Pediatrician, Under the Collar is a five-part conversation between a hospitalist and fellow practitioners, beginning with other hospitalists then moving onto other specialists, emergency physicians, nurses and administrators.
Under the Collar is a hybrid work - an analytical memoir. This duality transcends the medical field as it challenges human proclivities inherent in any profession. The vignettes are medical, but the offenses are universal.

Free of medical jargon and overly technical details, these straightforward stories relate to anyone facing difficult professional relationships.
