There was just one little problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe was miserable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Disconnected: A Surgeon's Search for Healing in a Broken System\u003c\/em\u003e, Johnston speaks from the eye of the storm. From Ivy League labs to the operating room, she charts her journey through a profession that demanded everything--and gave back exhaustion, isolation, and a gnawing sense of dread. Her personal crisis unveiled a deeper truth: Medicine rewards efficiency, punishes vulnerability, and measures success in billing codes instead of lives truly healed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fallout is catastrophic. Burnout and suicide rates among doctors are alarmingly high. Patients are unhappy and unwell. And the culture of silence keeps everyone pretending as if it's normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohnston refuses to pretend any longer. With wit, irreverence, and a dose of necessary bite, \u003cem\u003eDisconnected\u003c\/em\u003e is a raw, incisive autopsy of a broken system. But this book is not a eulogy; it's a rebellion. Johnston brings us full circle with a powerful rally cry for reconnection--to ourselves, to each other, and to the healing purpose at the heart of medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're a clinician who has swallowed your frustration in silence, this book gives you a voice. If you're a patient who has felt rushed or unheard, this explains why--and how it can be different. If you're a leader in the system, this is your wake-up call.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFierce, funny, and unflinchingly honest, \u003cem\u003eDisconnected\u003c\/em\u003e is an urgent diagnosis of a culture on the brink, and a bold prescription for how to pull ourselves back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lily Johnston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798891389243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amplify Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.75w x 0.82d","brand":"Lily Johnston","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49097484599551,"sku":"9798891389243","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disconnected-lily-johnston-9798891389243","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
