Why we revolt

The book, told through a series of personal essays, describes the problems within the industrial healthcare system, highlighting how it has become profit-driven and often fails to provide careful and kind care. Montori argues that the system pursues standardization, making individualized care generic and impersonal, which can be burdensome for both patients and clinicians. The book proposes a revolution centered on compassion, solidarity, and unhurried conversations to transform healthcare and focus on what matters to patients.
