Summary: The Doctor
Comment: Having had health problems and dealing with a plethora of Drs, nurses and health care "professionals" and ancillary staff, it is my personal opinion that many of them have never been ill and/or in need of hospitalization. This movie should be required viewing for everyone that earns a paycheck in any aspect of health care, from Drs to housekeeping to the switchboard operator.

Comment: This should be required viewing for ALL doctors . . .on a regular recurring basis.

Summary: Harrowing and Touching
Comment: Yes, it's another cancer movie. This one has an interesting twist, though: this time it's about a doctor. Picture your typical Western doctor: all business, no muss, no fuss.
He has no compassion for his patients and even makes jokes of their illnesses. Then karma catches up with him and he is struck like a lightning bolt with the awareness of what it's like to be a patient in his own hospital. You will undoubtedly be amazed at the transformation of this man's surprisingly gentle and caring soul.

Summary: The Doctor
Comment: This is a great movie. I am an aspiring minister and I had a fellow Christian recommend that I see this film because it is essential for people who will be working with people in hospitals to understand life as it is seen from a patients eyes. I think it is a must see for every person going into a helping profession or into the health field arena.

Reunited for the first time since their Academy Award(R)-nominated CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD, screen favorite William Hurt and director Randa Haines team up for another successful collaboration in THE DOCTOR. Oscar(R)-winning Hurt (Best Actor, 1986 -- KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN) joins Christine Lahti (RUNNING ON EMPTY), Mandy Patinkin (THE PRINCESS BRIDE), and Elizabeth Perkins (BIG) in the hit release that's been hailed as one of the must-see films of the year. It's the uplifting story of a man who becomes an extraordinary surgeon, as well as an extraordinary person, once he experiences firsthand what it's like being an ordinary patient. Touching hearts of critics and audiences alike, THE DOCTOR promises to entertain and inspire you from beginning to end.
