Recently, one of us (AP) spent more than 30 minutes on hold with an insurance company, attempting to obtain prior authorization for a simple stress test; clicked countless times within his clinic\u2019s electronic health record, all in an effort to find a single scanned copy of an ECG; and, in the spirit of \u201cquality improvement,\u201d received several alerts reminding him that, well, shouldn’t he be working just a <\/span>tad<\/span><\/i> harder to lower his patients\u2019 LDL?<\/span><\/p>\n

These experiences are not unique. Both of us have countless similar anecdotes, as does any practising clinician. Unifying these experiences, of course, is that none of these duties involved talking to (let alone examining) an actual patient. Yet tasks such as these comprise the lion\u2019s share of clinical practice. And as any physician will tell you, the problem seems to be getting much, much worse. As one particularly dejected intern, hunched over her computer in clinic, put it: \u201cThis isn\u2019t why I became a doctor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Enter Victor Montori and his book, \u201cWhy we revolt: A patient revolution for careful and kind care<\/a>\u201d. The book\u2019s message is simple: the practice of medicine has become a stultifying experience that can be traced back to the fact that its mission has been corrupted. The provision of health has been co-opted by economic interests, and as a result, clinicians have lost sight of the patient, buried somewhere within a byzantine labyrinth of incentive structures, quality metrics, and a behemoth, faceless electronic health record. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To some, this may seem like old news. Clinicians and patients alike have been bemoaning this industrialization of medicine even before Bud Relman, former editor of the <\/span>New England Journal of Medicine<\/span><\/i>, coined the term \u201cthe new medical-industrial complex\u201d in 1980. And its sequelae are, by now, also well known: the US despite spending nearly 20% of its GDP on healthcare, lags far behind its peer nations in health outcomes. The nation\u2019s physician workforce, largely as a consequence of bureaucratization, is experiencing unprecedented rates of burnout.<\/span><\/p>\n

As bad as things are for clinicians, patients are faring even worse. Ask patients about their most recent visit to the clinic, or, worse yet, a time they were admitted to the hospital. They\u2019ll likely tell you about a clinician who barely looked up from a screen, or the experience of being awoken several times in the middle of the night to have a thermometer placed in their mouth. Not to mention, of course, the trauma of receiving an exorbitant bill weeks later. Where, in all of this, does the actual \u201chealing\u201d part come in?<\/span><\/p>\n

There may be no better person than Montori to put a new spin on an old problem. A respected endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic (and a close colleague of JSR), the Peruvian-born Montori is particularly well-suited to point out US healthcare\u2019s systemic ills. The profit motive, he writes\u2014along with its American stepchildren, \u201ccompetition\u201d and \u201cinnovation\u201d\u2014has resulted in a massive industry of physician practices, hospital groups, insurers, drug manufacturers, contractors and subcontractors (the list goes on) united by the goal of maximizing returns. Alleviating human suffering, ostensibly the purpose of any healthcare system, has taken a back seat.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, Montori continues, this isn\u2019t simply a tale of greed. He describes our fixation on performance standards\u2014many of which, it should be said, do have the noble goal of improving population health. But often, he writes, in our haste to meet these targets (and avoid their associated financial penalties), we lose sight of <\/span>what<\/span><\/i>, exactly is being measured, and <\/span>why<\/span><\/i>. He cites the example of hemoglobin A1c: for all our herculean efforts directed at lowering this number\u2014the multimillion dollar mega-trials, the ever-expanding armamentarium of drugs\u2014when it comes to those outcomes that actually matter most to patients, we\u2019ve fallen woefully short.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, it\u2019s patients that emerge as the true heroes in \u201cWhy we revolt\u201d. Our job is to restore their rightful place at the center of the healthcare enterprise. \u201cMinimally disruptive medicine\u201d should be our new philosophy: care that is in line with <\/span>patients\u2019<\/span><\/i> wishes (as opposed to the externally imposed constraints of guidelines and financial targets); care in which, as clinicians, our aims are to reduce the illness <\/span>and<\/span><\/i> treatment burden borne by our patients, and the administrative burden borne by our profession.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy We Revolt\u201d does outline some concrete steps we can take. First, Montori says, we must change the very language of medicine. The terms \u201cprovider\u201d and \u201ccare delivery\u201d should be excised from our lexicon, reflecting the idea that healthcare isn\u2019t a product to be packaged and distributed. Another laudable goal worth fighting for, he writes, is the true democratization of health data: patients must wrest control of their own health information from those who have a vested financial interest in keeping it to themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

In interviews, Montori has described how the process of writing \u201cWhy We Revolt\u201d was almost cathartic; after reading it, it\u2019s easy to see why. Part manifesto, part call to action, the book arrives at an especially propitious time: for the first time in decades, there exists a groundswell of support for alternatives to the current broken US healthcare system. Whether it’s a \u201cpublic option,\u201d a true single-payer model, or some other system of care, it\u2019s clear that the students and trainees in our clinics and hospitals, and especially the patients, are hoping for a future that doesn\u2019t reward financial gaming and profitability. Maybe, just maybe, the revolution is closer than we think. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
