Damaged Care | Year: 2002 Directed: - Harry Winer Actors/Actresses: - Laura Dern - Lisa Kudrow Fighting the good fight Laura Dern stars as a doctor who married and had kids before she was ever able to practice medicine. Her first efforts to return to the work place lead her to becoming a medical reviewer for a large HMO. There she is told she will help to stop the practice of doctors ordering (and making the insurance companies pay for) unneeded tests and procedures. It becomes clear that in fact she is there to rubber stamp denials and add an aura of legitimacy to a the practice of denying people the services their premiums paid for. Despite her stress and unhappiness her husband has her stay on in order to supplement the family income. Only after she has to make a life or death call does the lead begin to realize that the system itself is flawed and cannot be fixed from the inside. As she expresses her concerns publicly the family starts to fall apart and the increased stress almost make Dr. Peeno give up the good fight. Her moment of truth comes with the help of two people - a nun and a former nurse now a victim of the system she once worked for. This is a chick flick based on real events about the most naive person ever to graduate medical school. It was hard to believe that it took so long for the light to dawn on Dern's character about so many things in her life. But when she started to take action she proved to be capable and interesting.
