> Frontline: Dr. Solomon's Dilemma

 

Program Description

Frontline/Dr. Solomon's Dilemma (Frontline) (2000) - This one-hour Frontline special examines how physicians are battling over the soul of medicine. Some have regained control of managing their patients' care from HMOs and are now saddled with the very problem against which they rebelled: cutting costs by controlling care. Daily, doctors find themselves faced with the responsibility of balancing quality care against their own bottom line. The program focuses ethical dilemmas of doctors at a Harvard medical School teaching hospital as they weigh the bottom line pressures of HMOs with their commitment to quality patient care.
