The Vanishing Oath is a documentary film about the problems with our current healthcare system, including physician burnout and patient dissatisfaction.

It is a raw, unapologetic look behind the curtain of our health care system from a physician's point of view.

As they open the soul of medicine, it becomes quite clear to the viewer that increasing bureaucratic interference, the daunting pressure of malpractice litigation and the unrealistic expectations of the American public for physician perfection has created this disease of an ancient profession.   It becomes obvious that the current health care system sets them up for disappointment - unrealistic expectations for perfection in the physician but no counterpart accountability for patients as to their own health outcomes.

The documentary leaves many open-ended questions, which those in the medical profession realize is the best method for conducting an interview.

We are at a tipping point in the future of the American health care system, and both Dr. Flesher and Ms. Pando are to be congratulated for their bravery and fortitude at completing this documentary.  It's a raw, unapologetic look behind the curtain of our health care system from a physician's point of view.
