"I've fallen down and can't get up!"Congratulations.

You are now about to enter the Twilight Zone. It is a place of mind and matter, of test and retest, of drugs you cannot name, and of unnecessary, painful procedures. It is your own personal journey through the space and time of modern medicine.

Medical Grail is the story of Robert Bascom, a young, idealistic physician who had retreated to a village in Italy to mourn the death of his wife. While drinking wine in his small cottage he receives a call from the administrator of a small hospital in the Arizona desert. Corruption, incompetence and malpractice are rampant in his facility, and he pleads with Bascom to return to the US and help him correct the situation.

Bascom agrees, and on his first night in town, while suffering from jet-lag and a few too many drinks, gets an urgent call from a nurse and races to the hospital emergency room. Once there he sees a physician in a white coat disinterestedly reading a newspaper at the nurses station. Two patients are in the ward: one is asleep on a stretcher in the corner of the room, the other, almost as white as the sheet covering him, is being worked on by a nurse and an EMT in a bloody uniform. He goes to the stretcher and while doing his best to save the man, asks the nurse, "Did you ask Dr. Perkins to help with this patient?"

"Yes," she replies, "but he won't treat Mexicans."

Medical Grail, a fictional story based upon true events, is the tale of a doctor who has traveled with patients who have made the trip, some successfully, others less so, through the maze of modern medicine.

It will horrify you.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Raymond C. Andrews is an American born physician who graduated from the University of Bologna Medical School in Italy in 1970. After training in general surgery, neurosurgery, and aerospace medicine, he accepted the position as an emergency room director in a New Jersey hospital. In the late 1970s he entered private practice in California and wrote a popular series of articles on health care for the Bakersfield Californian. Other articles and comments of his have appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine, the Bergen Record, and Private Practice. While in practice he developed "Drop-in-Laboratory Services" to make access to medical care easier and less costly for the large number of migrant workers in his practice. Lured back to Italy by medieval castles and the opera at La Scala in 1984, Dr. Andrews worked ten years for the state health system and was the first physician to participate in the newly established Italian emergency hot-line system. After twenty-five years of medical practice on two continents, and with the regrettable certainty that patient care has taken a back seat to bureaucracy and to the questionable tactics of a few of his colleagues both here and abroad, in 1995 he accepted a position with the United States Public Health Service and was a director of a Navajo clinic on their reservation in northeastern Arizona. He was also director of the clinic's Emergency Medical Services, and a director of the National Native American Emergency Medical Services Association. Dr. Andrews is presently retired and passes his time writing, building model ships, and driving his modified Jeep and off-road camper in the Arizona desert with his wife, Jennifer.

5,0 su 5 stelle Is this a description of American medicine? I am afraid it is.
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 7 febbraio 2013
Acquisto verificato
I just finished the book and I found it very educational.

I have been very fortunate not to experience treatment so vividly and convincingly described by this MD author but, eventually, I ran out of my luck. Not in a fatal way, obviously, just suffering irreversible damage from a botched surgery in California. Surviving it, however, was quite an accomplishment.

The book has two related areas that all people should learn about. In the first half it is true medical malpractice of the worst kind, in the second the intricacies of our litigious legal system. The good Italian educated doctor is the hero of the first part, a completely fictitious lawyer (I still have to meet someone remotely similar to him) of the second part.

If you are looking for standard car chases, diabolic villains and some such, you will not find them in this book.

Except from some serious socio/psychopaths, this country does not have that many diabolic villains. A huge number of pompous, incompetent and untouchable people who may not kill you but can take away your 'inalienable right to pursue happiness'.

The book ends both on happy and sad note, one predictable, the other not really. But such is life in a real world.

Five stars plus for this book. Should be required reading for everyone over 30 or so, perhaps even younger folks.

This subject sparked my interest about a doctor not treating a patient because of race. There were other aspects of this book that I think were supposed to be far fetched but with the way the medical field is going and corporate America this book might not be too far from re al life. This book is a quick read but not a real attention keeper.

Well written and fast moving story. Wish it could have had a happy ending. But since it portrayed life the story had to be real. Medicine today is all about the almighty dollar and that is why we have the problems with hospitals, doctors and insurance and costs out of control. The patient loses every time. When you add to that the cost of pharmaceuticals, we are really in trouble.. The care you receive today is the best you'll ever get no matter the training , new inventions or drugs!

interesting, how the medical field has the upper hand in our lives. But, there are many good souls that want to do the right thing. Having a conscience is a refreshing twist!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 12 luglio 2013

but if the medical field is anything close to how it's described in this book, (and I was pretty convinced it was before I even started it) then we are up the creek without the proverbial paddle. However, this is supposed to be a review of the book, not the ethics (or lack of ethics) in the medical industry.
Medical Grail is very well written. I will usually put down disturbing books rather than finish them, but the protagonist was just so engaging and idealistic that I couldn't stop. Wonderful story about a disturbing subject!
