Movie Reviews of The Doctor
Movie Review: A WONDERFUL MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars
for everybody especially for all the doctors and the-doctors-to-be. until you yourself become a patient, you'd never know or understand what your patients would feel and have to deal with. but this thing could also be applied to those anti death sentence supporters. yes, until your immediate family becomes the victim, you might be a pro-life supporters too. once things turned out to be up close and personal, the way of your regular thinking would have never changed. a wonderful movie with a big heart, also a great and precious lesson of how to treat your life and others' more repectfully.Movie Review: Harrowing and Touching
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, it's another cancer movie. This one has an interesting twist, though: this time it's about a doctor. Picture your typical Western doctor: all business, no muss, no fuss.
He has no compassion for his patients and even makes jokes of their illnesses. Then karma catches up with him and he is struck like a lightning bolt with the awareness of what it's like to be a patient in his own hospital. You will undoubtedly be amazed at the transformation of this man's surprisingly gentle and caring soul.

Movie Review: Sadly, a very accurate story...
Summary: 5 Stars
Having been caught up in the medical 'merry-go-round' for the past 10 years, I could sure identify with the patients. Sadly, the movie and subject were very contemporary - with the exception of the cellphones. I say sadly because nothing much has changed within the medical profession in almost 20 years from the time this story was written. What a sad commentary on our medical/patient care.
On the movie/drama front - the casting is great, the acting even better, and a story I sure wish we'd all learn from!
Movie Review: A Triumph!
Summary: 5 Stars
With sensitive performances by William Hurt, Elizabeth Perkins and Christine Lahti, The Doctor is a must see. Masterfully written, the story will touch anyone who has experienced the insensitivity of the medical profession and wished for a doctor who would empathize with the challenges and concerns of a personal health crisis. But there's more. The Doctor will be a film that you see and see again. The tremendous messages about important relationships, life and death will keep you coming back.Movie Review: One of my favorites...
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is loosely based on the book "Taste Of My Own Medicine: When the Doctor is the Patient" by Edward Rosenbaum, M.D. It is about a physician who although he has been providing health care for years, he knows little about the caring part. That is until he becomes the patient, a cancer patient. The story that follows is wonderfully acted by William Hurt, who is joined by an equally wonderful cast. If you have ever been the patient, or better yet, the provider, this movie is for you.
