An insiders view by a practicing family physician, Sacred Trust reveals the art and practice of medicine and opens a window into its soul. With wry humor, no-holds-barred candid writing style, Dr. Hollenbeck pops the balloon of sanctity that insulates those at the top of the medicine field, exposing the ills behind her profession and recommends the overhaul needed to make the medicine machine hum. Funny, poignant, enlightening and empowering, The Sacred Trust is often unsettling but is sure to inspire a new generation to choose the high road to healing.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Compulsively readable,
By Louise Marley "Louise" (Pacific Northwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sacred Trust: The Ten Rules of Life, Death, and Medicine (Paperback)
This is a marvelous work. All physicians should read it, and lots of patients should, too. The anecdotes will stay with you long after you put it down, and if you're not a physician, you'll expect more of your doctors after you read Dr. Hollenbeck's lovely little book. It's full of medical wisdom, but practical wisdom, too, in the form of Dr. Hollenbeck's mother's Irish sayings. Just a complete pleasure to read! I enjoyed every page.

Entertaining and Sharp,

This review is from: Sacred Trust: The Ten Rules of Life, Death, and Medicine (Paperback)
Sacred Trust does an excellent job of describing Dr. Hollenbeck's experiences and lessons, and more importantly their importance in medicine. It blends humor and serious topics fluidly. Afterwards I had a better understanding of what to expect from the medical profession, and it gave me the confidence to demand it. I wish all my doctors (past, present, and future) would read this. I intend on purhasing this book for all my friends in med school.
