    About this ebook

    An insiders view by a practicing family physician, Sacred Trust reveals the art and practice of medicine and opens a window into its soul. With wry humor, no-holds-barred candid writing style, Dr. Hollenbeck pops the balloon of sanctity that insulates those at the top of the medicine field, exposing the ills behind her profession and recommends the overhaul needed to make the medicine machine hum. Funny, poignant, enlightening and empowering, The Sacred Trust is often unsettling but is sure to inspire a new generation to choose the high road to healing.
