A lifelong physician and educator exposes the alarming takeover of healthcare and medical training by a political ideology untethered to science.

American healthcare is at risk as radical politics increasingly supplant proven methods for the admission and training of medical students. These changes in medical education and practice threaten to dramatically alter the relationship between doctors and patients.

In the aftermath of the death of George Floyd in 2020, medical schools across the country raced to adopt increased diversity mandates and anti-racism training. Based on the false charge that the healthcare system is biased against minority groups, medical deans and trustees rushed to institute sweeping reforms that will dramatically reduce the quality of medical training and upend the traditional doctor-patient relationship. According to Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, a longtime medical researcher and educator with extensive clinical experience, these changes coincide with already lowered standards, such as grade inflation and demands for “socially relevant” curricula that have nothing to do with the care of actual patients. In this coruscating lament for the decline of American medicine, Goldfarb debunks the myth of a “racist” healthcare system and shows how elevating diversity above merit will produce substandard healthcare for all Americans—regardless of race.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It is not easy to be a doctor. It shouldn't be easy to become a doctor.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    This is a great book to read to get an understanding of how medical education in general is being dumbed down to accommodate to students who don't want to work hard and learn what they need to know so that they can be the very best at their chosen profession. When whiners in my medical classes complained about how hard the schedule was and questioned why subject X (there were complaints about most of the sciences) should be included I would always say that the medical program has been set up by people who have been in the field and are wiser than us. As a student we have no appreciation for what we will need to know in our future profession. My friend's mother told us that a hard training program is essential to weed out the lazy people. I think most of us want a well-trained doctor who worked hard in school to be the best they can be rather than someone who has a "politically correct" medical degree that is not merit based. It is not easy to be a doctor. It shouldn't be easy to become a doctor.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, clear and direct.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2022

    Dr. Goldfarb’s treatment of how the politicization of medical education is diluting the scientific and clinical curriculum with aspects of social work and woke ideology is a sober, timely, and important message for clinicians, students of medicine, and the American public.

    Political influences over education are likely to change over time, ebbing and flowing, but in the case of medicine, people can be hurt and lives can be lost, as a consequence of inadequate clinical preparation and lack of a sophisticated understanding of the scientific underpinnings of medical treatment. I recommend this book highly to students, residents, and faculty open to taking in a perspective that challenges the prevailing dogma. This book may help provide much needed context if you’ve felt something is wrong with how your medical school, training program, or faculty is being run. The reality is that many institutions are capitulating to an increasingly politicized climate, ceding to the demands of activists ungrounded in science, in efforts to insulate the institution against political blowback from social events that have no origins in, and little to do with medicine, but have come to engulf the institutions that practice it. This capitulation, however, is short-sighted, and while it may insulate medical schools and teaching hospitals from pressures without, risks deteriorating them from within.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Taking on the blundering "woke" that are wrecking US medical education
    Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Kidney specialist, former Penn Med school associate dean, and clinical researcher, Dr Goldfarb lays out how thorough and demanding medical education was upended to focus on societal injustice, at the expense of patient-serving science, replacing hard work with coddling med students, vilifying demanding teachers, and paying some top med school administrators millions funded by outrageous and unjustifiable tuition increases. The last chapter has his solutions, including this one: "If academic medical centers want to improve Black lives, they should open spacious and well-staffed outpatient facilities in inner-city neighborhoods in addition to their multimillion-dollar units placed in affluent suburbs. It may be cheaper, of course, to launch highly publicized virtue signaling anti-racist campaigns, but I suspect most Black patients would prefer good outpatient care to good intentions."

    Dr Goldfarb hits hard, with facts, figures, and gallows humor. A compelling case on why, what, and how to restore best care for sick patients as the central focus of American medical education.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for patients and prospective medical students.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I graduated from medical school in 1965, when medical education was still a meritocracy, and patients could feel confident that their doctor was providing the best possible care. As Dr Goldfarb points out, this is no longer the case. I knew things were changing, but I had no idea how much, until I read this book. It seems that the inmates (medical students and young immature “woke” doctors) are now running the institutions. I feel sorry for the young people with a sincere desire to become good doctors, but don’t realize that the system is now stacked against them. I feel even more sorry for their future patients. This book should be on everyone’s book shelf.

    5.0 out of 5 stars rating the BOOK not the CAUSE
    Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Obviously, it's easier to like a book one agrees with, and I confess to agreeing with most of this. But I will confine my rating to the quality of the writing and exposition. This book is clear and lucid. If you are on the other side and want to understand how the opposition came to its position, this book with do the job. (If you are already converted, it will make you happy; if you were unaware of all of this, it will make you sick.)

    5.0 out of 5 stars The medical profession needs more Dr. Goldfarb’s.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    This book corroborates all that I’ve experienced as a recently retired pulmonary-critical care physician. The woke bureaucracy contributed to my retirement in late 2020. The young doctors with whom I’ve worked are less knowledgeable of the basics and of physical diagnosis than I observed 20 years ago. It will take courage for more physicians to speak out against this hijacking of medical education by the woke. That must happen before this woke plague will be reversed.
