Two decades ago, Dr. Frederick S. Southwick witnessed the near demise of his wife, Mary, while she was a patient in a prominent academic medical center. Although he blamed Mary's individual physicians, who had cared for her for more than 15 years, Dr. Southwick realized that encouraging individual physicians to try harder was not the solution.In "Critically Ill," Mary's dramatic healthcare nightmare is used as a learning tool to reveal startling, dangerous flaws in our nation's current system of medical care and present a detailed five-point action plan to cure and change our healthcare delivery system.
