In Doctored, cardiologist Sandeep Jauhar continues the narrative begun in his earlier work, Intern, to examine the deep‑seated problems of the U.S. health‑care system from the perspective of an attending physician. He recounts how corporate ties distort clinical decisions, how quota‑driven referrals undermine patient trust, and how patients often face a bewildering array of specialists without receiving a cohesive diagnosis. Jauhar’s account is both a candid reflection on his own career journey and a passionate call for meaningful reform in medical practice.
