Slow Medicine: The Way To Healing

Author Victoria Sweet has been working in healthcare for years, and has an intimate understanding of the ways in which our system routinely fails patients. This experience has allowed her to craft this remarkable book, which takes aim at the failures of the current system and points toward an alternative mode of medical practice that Sweet terms 'slow medicine.' Rather than treating medical care as something to be carried as speedily and efficiently as possible, Sweet suggests that the work of diagnosis and treatment should be undertaken meticulously and carefully, centering the patient and treating them holistically. A timely book in a failing medical system, this is a must read for anyone fed up with health care in America.
