Physicians play a very important role in the lives of individuals, families, and communities. Their role involves medical, ethical, psychological, social, legal, financial, and other attributes. Sooner or later each of us, a family member, a friend, or someone we know will interact with a physician. The interactions of physicians with patients and their families, other physicians and allied healthcare providers, and others vary considerably; that is, from outstanding to awful. There are many reasons for this including doctorhood, which I define as the quality or character of a doctor(s). For the most part, understanding the attributes of doctorhood, the medical profession, health care, and health care reform in the United States are what this book is about.
