I don’t think Dr. Jauhar set out to write a “representative example” of the experiences of physicians. The editor’s description of Doctored is that of a memoir:
Doctored, his harrowing follow-up, observes the crisis of American medicine through the eyes of an attending cardiologist…Provoked by his unsettling experiences, Jauhar has written an introspective memoir that is also an impassioned plea for reform.
He is explicitly telling a story from his own perspective, based on his own experiences and observations. The fact that some physicians disagree with him is irrelevant - that’s true of pretty much any nonfiction book.
Seven years ago, Jauhar published a memoir called [url=<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Intern-Doctors-Initiation-Sandeep-Jauhar-ebook/dp/B00FO84RXO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1424561013&sr=8-2&keywords=Jauhar%5D%5Bi%5DIntern%5B/i%5D%5B/url”>http://www.amazon.com/Intern-Doctors-Initiation-Sandeep-Jauhar-ebook/dp/B00FO84RXO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1424561013&sr=8-2&keywords=Jauhar]Intern[/url], which was the story of his years of residency in New York. That’s also an interesting read for pre-med students. I’m sure some interns/residents had very different experiences than his, but he wrote a book about his, and it’s still interesting to see one perspective and compare it with others.
