Curing Medicare
A Doctor's View on How Our Health Care System Is Failing Older Americans and How We Can Fix It (Cornell Univeristy Press)
​​
Through his own personal stories as a doctor, and through copious data, the author shows what is wrong with our approach to health care for the elderly, how we can fix the system, and how each patient can improve their own care.
​
“In Curing Medicare, Dr. Lazris seeks to redefine "thorough" - and not simply to humanize our profession, but to protect the elderly from the harms of too much medical care. It is a passionate, but thoughtful, critique of medicine's relentless focus on numbers, unimportant measures of performance, and turning people into patients.” -H. Gilbert Welch, MD
