In his highly anticipated third book, “ Healing the Rift A Physician’s Insight

into Medical Negligence – Past, Present, and Paths to Progress,” esteemed

author and Senior Consulting Physician, Dr. Yogesh Gupta, goes beyond the

surface to explore the historical roots of contemporary healthcare challenges

in India. Delving deep into the origins of problems imported from the USA,

which were later adopted by India, Dr. Gupta presents a meticulous analysis

of the factors that have strained the patient-doctor relationship.

Having previously shared his insights in “”COVID Diaries: Virus vs We””

and “”We Learn as We Grow,”” Dr. Gupta brings a wealth of wisdom to his

latest work. Here, he not only examines the historical backdrop of medical

negligence but also shines a critical light on the shortcomings of the present

legal system in adjudicating the intricate nuances of medical practice.

In a bold departure from conventional thinking, Dr. Yogesh Gupta argues

that the current punitive model and the lengthy, tedious legal processes fail

to deliver justice to either the patient or the doctor. Firm in his belief that

justice should be swift, fair, and restorative, Dr. Gupta proposes a new vision

for addressing the complexities of medical negligence in India. His book is

a manifesto for change, advocating for a system that prioritizes trust, ethics,

and efficiency.

“”Healing the Rift”” is not just a critique; it is a call to action. Dr. Gupta’s

compelling narrative, enriched by historical insights and profound

reflections, challenges the status quo and presents a roadmap for a

healthcare system that serves both patients and doctors equitably. This book

is essential reading for anyone seeking a transformative perspective on the

future of healthcare in India.
