The Doctor.

To film "The Doctor" tells the story of a renowned and successful cardiovascular surgeon shown with a certain callousness in treating their patients. This doctor, convinced of the need to distance themselves emotionally from their patients, treating them as objects over like a piece of meat, whose function lies in direct contact with the disease, not the patient. In addition, continuous behind their jokes to their cases, has great moral deficit, cowardice, arrogance, superiority and belief to a lack of appreciation for life. Suddenly his erroneous course perspective, begins to change when receiving the news that you have cancer of the larynx. For the first time in his life he is forced to feel what I feel all patients, the surgeon is then a patient instead of a doctor, and learn firsthand about the long in the waiting room, the indignity of filling out forms continuously humiliating exams and callous attitude of the professional medical community.

After countless situations and restored after your health, Dr. Mackee was determined to practice from a different perspective, taking into account the importance of feelings and communication in the doctor-patient relationship that is familiar had deteriorated, and the importance of accurate physician performance, reliable and responsible, not only practiced it with their patients but with their residents.
