“Jim Bailey's brilliant first novel narrates the journey of a young healer into the depths of a modern healthcare hell that parallels the path taken by Dante Alighieri through his Inferno 700 years ago. His young protagonist uncovers unsuspected corruption at the roots of the problems in American medicine and powerful business interests trading people's health for profit. The End of Healing is a must-read for anyone hungry for a spiritual context to help them understand the true forces at work in American healthcare and our path to a better future....”
—PHYLLIS TICKLE, founding religion editor, Publishers Weekly
“The End of Healing is a remarkable book. It'll make you sad and angry at the same time. Then you'll become afraid.... And that fear could save your life.”
—DON DONALDSON, author of The Memory Thief
THE END OF HEALING, A GRIPPING HISTORICAL NOVEL SET IN THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM, SHINES THE LIGHT OF TRUTH ON THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY.
A looming menace lurks within the towers of American medicine. One young doctor is determined to uncover the truth. Enter the Inferno with him on a journey you will never forget.
Don Newman, a resident physician at the renowned University Hospital, awakens to the screams of his pager in a windowless call room in the middle of the night. He runs to a dark ward to attend to a dying woman strapped to a bed and realizes—despite working long and hard to become a doctor and having sworn to do no harm—harm has become his business.
So begins Dr. Newman's quest to become a healer in a system that puts profits ahead of patients. He abandons his plans to become a cardiologist and enrolls in an Ivy League graduate program in health system science, where an unorthodox professor promises to guide him ever deeper into the dark secrets of the healthcare industry. Don joins fellow students—the alluring Frances Hunt, a sharp nurse practitioner, and Bruce Markum, a cocky, well-connected surgeon—on a journey through the medical underworld. When Dr. Newman unearths evidence of a conspiracy stretching from the halls of Congress to Wall Street and even to his small campus, his harmless course of study becomes deadly serious. Will he be silenced? Or will he find a way to save his patients and others from needless torture?

10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. This book is a must-read for anybody in the health care industry. By Jack A. First of all, this is a legendary ass-whupping. Jim spells out in detail what's wrong with the entire health care industry. One at a time, he takes on specialty doctors, hospitals, insurers, drug manufacturers, Medicare. He lays out not only where we are now, but how we got here, going all the way back to Asklepios. And how our system compares with other countries, good and bad. He has chapter after chapter of heart-wrenching anecdotes, backed up by exhaustive statistical data.And even though it's a ton of bad news, it is never bitter. This is not a complaint, but a call to action.And it's not just a dry treatise. It is a novel, with good guys and bad guys and plenty of sexual drama, and Dante's Commedia Divina is woven into every chapter.This book is a blast. It's a magnum opus. It has the potential to be a real catalyst for change. Hats off to Dr. Bailey!

By robert webb Although sometimes distressing, this is worthwhile reading.Distressing: because Dr. Bailey has amassed a mountain of evidence showing how sick our healthcare system really is. Written as a novel, through the eyes of a naive physician-in-training, he dissects the body of our diseased system, displaying all the pathology caused by the major vested interests; explaining why many people don't receive even minimal care despite the US having the most expensive system in the world.Some will not want to hear that Big Pharma, Insurance, Diagnostics, and Hospitals appear to be driven more by business and profit models than by one which would truly improve the health of the communities. Hopefully, every reader should be able to conclude that we have a dysfunctional system; and use the distressing evidence presented, to help fix it. And, he does leave us with that glimmer of hope: that medical professionals in particular will wake up and lead us out of a "healthcare hell" .
