And how does this predatory system affect patients and doctors responsible for their care?Your Money or Your Life reveals how medical debt collection became a multibillion-dollar industry and how everyday Americans are made to pay the price. Emergency physician and historian Luke Messac weaves patient stories into a history of law, finance, and medicine to show how debt and debt collection are destroying the foundational trust between doctors and patients at the heart of American healthcare. The fight to stop aggressive collection tactics has brought together people from all corners of the political spectrum. But if we want to better protect the sick from fina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe German word for debt is the same word for guilt. But you don't have to be German to be a guilty debtor in the United States, where the sin of being ill and poor is discharged by indentured labor and the harassment of the debt collector. Luke Messac takes us on a tour of the underbelly of America's hospitals and their horrific debt practices. If there's one country where you don't want to be both poor and ill, it's the United States. * Mark Blyth, The William R. Rhodes '57 Professor of International Economics, The Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, Brown University *\u003cbr\u003eA crystal-clear critique of the travesty of profit-driven US medicine by a historian drawing on archives, oral history, public records, and his own ethnographic experience as a doctor delivering emergency care medicine for a typically predatory 'non-profit hospital' that bankrupts its poorest, most vulnerable patients. All medical students should read this book to prevent themselves from inadvertently becoming cogs in a monstrous wheel that indebts their lowest income patients. * Philippe Bourgois, Author of In Search of Respect: Selling Crack in El Barrio and Co-Author of Righteous Dopefiend *\u003cbr\u003eIn the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the impetus for transforming the American health care system is more urgent than ever. Doctor and historian Luke Messac shows how the system has been warped by growing financialization and profiteering, with disastrous consequences for the millions of people struggling with medical debt. Both infuriating and illuminating, he paints a portrait too compelling to ignore. * Dave A. Chokshi, 43rd Health Commissioner of New York City *\u003cbr\u003eYour Money or Your Life offers a rare, deeply powerful, and impressively original look at the roots of medical greed and how and why health care debt is driving down the health of our nation. This book is a passionate and inspiring expression of the importance of empowering community leaders and their residents to advocate for affordable, accessible, and equitable health care before it's too late. It provides the roadmap, now it's up to all of us to heed the charge. * Daniel E. Dawes, Author of The Political Determinants of Health *\u003cbr\u003eUsually, doctors keep themselves aloof from their patients' financial troubles, but not Luke Messac. Your Money or Your Life shows how medical debt and the fear of debt decimate family finances and prevent sick people from seeking needed care. Dr. Messac, a historian and emergency physician, is one of our most important critics of the US health system. His voice is engaging and compassionate, and we must listen. * Beatrix Hoffman, Professor of History, Northern Illinois University and Author of The Wages of Sickness and Health Care for Some *\u003cbr\u003eIn Your Money or Your Life, Luke Messac weaves together the compelling, and true, story of how medical debt collection became so aggressive and its real-world impact. Taking readers on a remarkable - and eminently readable - journey through the history and practice of medical debt collection...this great book demonstrates how these events are not aberrations or one-off errors in judgment, but baked into the design of American health care and the institutions that profit from the sidelines. Dr. Messac's book proves that it will take more than occasional finger wagging or modest reforms around the edges to ensure that patients and doctors are no longer debtors and creditors. Everyone, and I do mean everyone, should read Your Money or Your Life. * Melissa B. Jacoby, Graham Kenan Professor of Law, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill *\u003cbr\u003eIn Your Money or Your Life, Dr. Messac provides a piercing and must-read investigation into how medical debt came to be such a powerful and grim force in American medicine. To create change for the millions of American families beset by the financial toxicity of our health care system, we must learn from this difficult history. * Victor Roy, Physician, Sociologist, and Author of Capitalizing a Cure: How Finance Controls the Price and Value of Medicines *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments    Introduction         Chapter 1: Before the Debt Machine       Chapter 2: No Mercy         Chapter 3: Trading in Misery        Chapter 4: Shame           Chapter 5: My Day in Court        Chapter 6: An Incomplete Answer       Chapter 7: From Here         Conclusion","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732673311063,"sku":"9780197676639","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780197676639.jpg?v=1719997895"},{"product_id":"engineering-a-safer-world-9780262533690","title":"Engineering a Safer World","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48733466526039,"sku":"9780262533690","price":36.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780262533690.jpg?v=1720000184"},{"product_id":"dont-sweat-the-small-stuff-at-work-9780340748732","title":"Dont Sweat the Small Stuff at  Work","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost people spend at least 40 hours a week in the office, and constant deadlines, heavy workloads, and daily dilemmas can make working a stressful experience.

One especially novel aspect of the book is how the themes of neighborhood health impacts, environmental sustainability, and equity are interwoven in ways that are insightful and that lend support for a transformative way to think about the health and environmental co-benefits of urban planning policies. The use of case studies and the global reach of the book also make it especially useful and novel. The presentation is also compelling with many figures, diagrams and visual representations.

This is not a dress rehearsal: on our watch the world is urbanising, the population is growing, greenhouse emissions are rising, the climate is changing, biodiversity is being lost, cars are clogging and polluting our cities and chronic diseases are escalating – the impacts on human and planetary health are massive and the need for action, long overdue. We need to rethink our cities, ensuring they are underpinned by healthy, liveable and sustainable neighbourhoods - not for some, but for all. With the Hippocratic oath – \u003ci\u003efirst do no harm \u003c\/i\u003e– firmly in their sight, this book equips public health professionals to work with, and advocate for, built environment professionals and sectors to adopt this edict, and critically, to undertake the integrated planning \u003ci\u003eand \u003c\/i\u003eimplementation, needed to deliver the cities vitally need.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—\u003cstrong\u003eBillie Giles-Corti,\u003c\/strong\u003e Distinguished Professor and RMIT VC Professorial Fellow, RMIT University, Melbourne Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eShaping Neighbourhoods\u003c\/em\u003e is a most readable and engaging book.

The wealth of evidence and case studies presented in the book facilitate the understanding of those connections and engagement around neighbourhood solutions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reader can easily navigate to their area of need or concern and find evidence-based responses to a wide range of challenges faced by neighbourhoods, drawing on the sharp writing and good layout. A comprehensive set of issues are examined; from urban design; to what works for specific groups in the population; to planning for travel; to housing and access to services; as well as natural systems (biodiversity, energy, food). The book identifies the key issues and principles in responding to the issue in question, presenting supporting evidence and case studies of local solutions. It goes on to outline strategies that can guide the transformation process. The beauty of the author’s problem-solving approach is that it integrates social context and the links with upstream determinants of health and sustainability. I see it as systems thinking in practice, grounded and focused on the issues at stake at the neighbourhood level. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a worker in public health and a physician I see the appeal this book has for the practitioner. It speaks to the public health professional and helps envision the implementation of Health in All Policies. A very timely contribution at a moment when the pandemic is shedding light into the key role neighborhoods play in maintaining people healthy, but where the public health response has yet to fully integrate place-based solutions as part of the strategy. The book is clearly anchored in local and territorial planning, and has in-depth sensitivity, perception and understanding of how it links with health, wellbeing and sustainability issues. This is compelling reading, a success in integrated thinking for the local level and a beautiful illustration of how to locally implement high level goals such as the SDGs.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—\u003cstrong\u003eCarlos Dora,\u003c\/strong\u003e MD PhD, President of the International Society for Urban Health\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The new edition of this remarkable and valuable classic book is a welcome contribution to planning and urban design theory and practice in shaping towns and neighbourhoods that deliver sustainable and healthy places for the 21st century.

Beginning with a general section on risk management, covering areas such as disaster management, terrorism, crime and security, the book then delves deeper into specific issues and challenges. It reviews important topics such as understanding the behaviour of crowds, how to perform a risk assessment for a sacred space, and travelling in what some would regard as an increasingly hostile world. Examining critically all risk and safety challenges in this area of management, the book: - Includes a full section of global case studies, as well as discussion questions for each chapter, encouraging readers to translate theory into good practice. - Offers critical thinking on risk, vulnerability and long-term development for mass gatherings. - Covers the importance of disaster management practices and offers practical advice for ensuring attendees' safety. Mitigating risk at mass gathering events and festivals is an area that still needs further research, but this book brings together current thought and provides a valuable reference for those studying religion, tourism and events, as well as event organizers, emergency and hospital services, and local authorities.","brand":"CABI Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49412324884823,"sku":"9781786392282","price":46.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781786392282.jpg?v=1730516388"},{"product_id":"increasing-occupational-health-and-safety-in-workplaces-individual-work-and-organizational-factors-9781788118088","title":"Increasing Occupational Health and Safety in","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ILO estimates that around 2.3 million workers die annually as a result of occupational accidents and diseases.
