Add to basketPaperback. In an industry meant to heal, too many of us are bleeding out. Physicians. Nurses, Executives. Support staff. Patients. Families. No one escapes the fallout of a healthcare system that's increasingly profit-driven, policy-drenched, and performance-metric obsessed. The pressure is relentless. The paperwork is endless. The humanity? Often missing in action."Working in Healthcare Hell" is a brutally honest, sharply funny, and unflinchingly real account of what it's like to survive-and attempt to lead-in the American healthcare system. But this isn't another burnout memoir or dry policy white paper. It's a battle guide, field manual, and truth serum all wrapped into one. Written by Dr. John R. Simmons, DO, MBA, a double-board certified physician in radiology and radiation oncology with over 25 years of clinical and administrative experience, this book brings the reader deep into the labyrinth of healthcare dysfunction-and back out the other side. With co-contributions from Becky Simmons, BSN, MBA, a seasoned healthcare executive, registered nurse, and health plan innovator with her own 25-year track record, the Simmons duo blends grit, grace, and gallows humor to expose what really goes on behind the curtains of the clinics, hospitals, and health plans we all depend on.This book is for:Physicians and nurses suffocating under EHRs, prior authorizations, and top-down management that ignores the realities of the front line.Administrators and executives caught in the crossfire between regulator chaos, budget constraints, and a workforce on the brink.Healthcare students and new graduates deserve a roadmap for what's coming-and how to hold onto their soul through it.Patients and families who wonder why their doctors seem so rushed, their bills confusing, and their care so fragmented.Consultants, analysts, and policymakers who want a clearer view of what real reform must address.This is the book John and Beckey wish someone had handed them when they were burning out, speaking up, or trying to change a system that rewards silence over solutions. But what makes "Working in Healthcare" different is its brutally honest-but never hopeless-approach. Yes, the stories are raw, but they aren't cynical. The Simmons believe in the people working within the system and offer ways to reclaim purpose without sugarcoating the barriers. Throughout the book, the Simmons teach real-world lessons, not ivory tower theories. From the VA to rural hospitals to Medicaid health plans to Fortune 500 mergers, the Simmons have walked the walk. These aren't theoretical critiques-they're lived experiences and actionable insights. With dual perspectives-John from the perspective of a physician battling care in the face of administrative dysfunction, and Becky focusing the lens from an executive's point of view-they are able to tell a fuller story of how the system fails and how it could succeed. And finally, "Working in Healthcare Hell" is sharp, smart, and surprisingly funny. Full of biting wit, memorable metaphors, and a refusal to take jargon seriously, the book keeps readers engaged, even when the subject matter is heavy. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
