Slow Medicine by Victoria Sweet
In the quarter-century that Victoria Sweet has been a doctor, 'healthcare' has replaced medicine, 'providers' look at their laptops more than at their patients, and the ruthless pursuit of efficiency has vanquished the effectiveness of treatment. Victoria Sweet knows that there is an alternative way, because she has lived and practised it. In her new book, she reflects with compassion, wit, and profound insight on experiences drawn from her time in medical school, internship, and residencies, the path to the 'slow medicine' in which she has been pioneer and inspiration.Victoria Sweet has worked as a physician at Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco for almost two decades. She is a prize-winning historian with a Ph.D. and an associate clinical professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. in social medicine and history
