New York Times Bestseller turned into the hit TV series THE RESIDENT on Fox"Every once in a while a book comes along that rocks the foundations of an established order that's seriously in need of being shaken. The modern American hospital is that establishment and Unaccountable is that book."-Shannon Brownlee, author of OvertreatedAs a busy surgeon who has worked in many of the best hospitals in the nation, Dr. Makary can testify to the amazing power of modern medicine to cure. But he's also been a witness to a medical-industrial complex that has gone largely unchecked, appealing to patients with NFL ads and convenient parking rather than by quality. Over the last ten years, quality of care remains highly variable, despite remarkable scientific progress. To patients, the healthcare system is a black box. They are unable to navigate where to go.  Patients need to know more of what healthcare workers know, so they can make informed choices. Unaccountable is a powerful, no-nonsense, non-partisan diagnosis for healing our hospitals and reforming our broken healthcare system.
