Overview

A doctor finds out the hard way that there's more to medicine than skill in the operating theater in this emotional drama. Jack McKee William Hurt is a gifted but arrogant surgeon who cares little about the emotional welfare of his patients and is little more than a benign stranger to his wife Anne Christine Lahti and his son Nicky Charlie Korsmo. Jack has been suffering from a nagging cough for some time, and when he begins coughing up blood one morning, he finally allows another doctor to take a look at him. The doctor discovers that Jack has a malignant tumor in his throat that could rob him of the ability to speak, or even kill him.

Overview

A doctor finds out the hard way that there's more to medicine than skill in the operating theater in this emotional drama. Jack McKee William Hurt is a gifted but arrogant surgeon who cares little about the emotional welfare of his patients and is little more than a benign stranger to his wife Anne Christine Lahti and his son Nicky Charlie Korsmo. Jack has been suffering from a nagging cough for some time, and when he begins coughing up blood one morning, he finally allows another doctor to take a look at him. The doctor discovers that Jack has a malignant tumor in his throat that could rob him of the ability to speak, or even kill him. Suddenly, Jack is a patient instead of a doctor, and he learns first hand about the long stretches in the waiting room, the indignity of filling out pointless forms, and the callous attitude of the professional medical community. Jack also gets to know June Elizabeth Perkins, a terminal cancer patient whose joyous embrace of life as her time draws to a close is an inspiration to him. Restored to health, Jack is determined to be a more caring healer and strives to be a better husband and father, but his new lease on life also earns him an enemy in fellow surgeon Murray Mandy Patinkin, who wants Jack to lie under oath for him in a major malpractice case; and a new respect for Eli Adam Arkin, an ear-nose-throat man he used to ridicule for his empathetic treatment of his patients. The Doctor was based on the memoir of real-life surgeon Ed Rosenbaum, entitled "A Taste of My Own Medicine." ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    The Patient Must Heal Above All Else, Including the Medical Professionals

    A Doctor, The Doctor, who knew so much about medicine and then get's throat cancer. He wamts to get better at all costs. He fears losing his life. He soon learns to take a new perspective on medicine on life itself after losing a very good friend of his, June passes away. But with her help, through her knowledge, He learns the true meaning of being of patient in a world of sparse medicine. Elizabeth Perkins (June) and William Hurt give this movie its true power. Their discussions together are so perfect that without them, the entire movie would have to be rewritten. A depressing movie but it will teach you and give you a new perspective on life. A must see for any Doctor, Patient, or just a person wanting to know something new and innovative about life.

    Must see, esp. for 'medical people'

    Wonderful ! Superb acting by Hurt, Perkins, Lahti, and Patinkin. Based on a true story, although some details were changed from the book. Medical students should be required to view this-for they will all be patients sometime.
