Everyone who thinks the U.S. has the best health care system in the world would do well to read The Color of Atmosphere As Kozel describes her experience as a pediatrician - encounters with fetal distress in delivery rooms; treating children with leukemia; assisting others struggling with asthma; weekend coverage and viral infections; helping parents cope with ADHD, bed wetting, or Down syndrome – her stories will teach you that one of the challenges faced by a physician is learning to blend truth and compassion in her “encounters with the worried well …[as well as] the seriously ill.” Along the way you will learn that Dr. Kozel has wrestled with a bigger crisis. Over the years, she says, doctors have turned into Health Care Providers and patients Health Care Consumers, with much of the practice of medical care shaped by one question: who will pay for what? In the end, a dedicated physician who dreamed in high school of escaping her difficult family by going to university and on to medical school, succeeded in reaching that goal; then, with almost twenty years experience, she walked away. “We … have to be careful about how much we idealize … medical knowledge,” Dr. Kozel says. Medical knowledge is science and art, not belief. And uncertainty can distract you from the truth. In fact, when we talk about “the best health care system in the world” we may be seeing something that is not there, something the color of atmosphere.
