Sixty percent of today's medical practitioners are dissatisfied with their career choice. Born from the dark frustrations of a Boston doctor, this film explores why so many good people are contemplating leaving, or have already left, the field. Using his own life and experiences, Dr. Ryan Flesher documents the daily trials, the complex decisions, and the overwhelming responsibilities faced by the modern physician, as hospitals and insurance companies increasingly focus their attention on the profit, not the patient. Driven by the altruism that brought him into medicine, Dr. Flesher travels from Boston to San Francisco to Denver, and from Ecuador to Maine and back, in a quest for insight into the psyche of physicians today. The resulting documentary, edited from over 200 hours of raw and unscripted footage, offers an unflinching look behind the White Curtain.
