Proposing the patient-doctor relationship that was central in traditional medicine be brought back to the center of the healthcare system, this history observes how the high cost of technology-based care has caused an economic squeeze through wasteful and ineffective practices. Targeting habits of wrong tests and treatments by specialists, as well as the overriding role technology has come to hold in medical care, the ideas offered here are based on 60 years of medical practice and aim to humanize treatment to help reduce unnecessary spending and regain a happier and healthier society.
