El doctor

Synopsis of El doctor

Jack MacKee is a brilliant, cold, and distant surgeon who is oblivious to his patients' concerns. However, his life takes a radical turn when he is diagnosed with a serious illness, becoming a patient himself in his own hospital. This experience forces him to face medical bureaucracy, the system's lack of empathy, and the vulnerability of those who suffer, completely transforming his view on medicine and life. Directed by Randa Haines and starring William Hurt, this moving film is a profound reflection on humanity, compassion, and the importance of treating patients not just as clinical cases, but as people.
