Cambridge University Press Suicide Prevention
Book SynopsisThe current suicide public health crisis and advances in clinical practice have increased the need for clear, evidence-informed guidance on suicide prevention in healthcare. This clinical suicide prevention handbook is an essential resource for mental health and primary care professionals, and any practitioner aiming to ensure their practice is up-to-date, patient-centred and consistent with the most current standards of care. Starting with a summary of the science and public health model of suicide, the book offers quick tips for suicide screening, risk assessment, interventions, and follow-up communication. It discusses medicolegal risk management, how health systems can prevent suicide and provides highly specialized guidance for clinicians following the loss of a patient to suicide. Focused sections include incorporating social media into care plans, telemedicine, issues related to culture and race/ethnicity, and working with specific populations. It introduces an integrated, prevention-oriented approach to suicide prevention, incorporating realistic supports, foreseeable changes, and strategies.Trade Review'I thank the authors for this marvellous and much needed addition to my library. From the opening paragraphs, I was hooked and read the entirety of the handbook, word-for-word, learning something new and clinically applicable from each chapter. It is comprehensive in its scope, beautifully written and up-to-date and will remain on my work desk for use as an authoritative reference guide as challenging situations arise. Most chapters provide key points up front, summarize pertinent data, illustrate text with beautiful figures and case examples and close with clinical pearls and pertinent references. I recommend this handbook for all graduate level trainees and mental health clinicians who treat patients with serious mental illness. If a resident in psychiatry asks for the one must-read book or reference on suicide prevention, this will be it.' Sidney Zisook, Director, Residency Training Program, and Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego'Suicide takes an enormous toll on society, communities, families, and individuals and is complex with myriad factors contributing in disparate ways. Progress in reducing suicide-related morbidity and mortality will require collaboration and a concerted effort by researchers and clinicians of multiple disciplines, public health and policy professionals, lay people, and those with lived experience. Suicide Prevention by Moutier, Pisani, and Stahl is an excellent foundation for that effort because not only is the book thorough and authoritative, but accessible to all. Its creative use of graphics, clinical vignettes, and well referenced text are the tools of great teachers. And we have much to learn!' Yeates Conwell, Professor and Vice Chair of Psychiatry, Director, Office for Aging Research and Health Services, and Co-Director, Center for the Study and Prevention of Suicide, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, New York'This is a refreshing addition to the literature on suicide prevention. The high-yield and practical tone of the book and the use of figures, bullet points, and summaries make this a quick and memorable read. This will be an excellent go-to reference on suicide prevention management and associated topics for treatment professionals to have on their bookshelves.' Daniel M.

Ohio University Press Making and Unmaking Public Health in Africa
Book SynopsisMaking and Unmaking Public Health in Africa explores how medical professionals and patients, government officials, and ordinary citizens approach questions of public health as they navigate contemporary landscapes of NGOs and transnational projects, faltering state services, and expanding privatization.Trade Review“The essays are in the very best tradition of medical anthropology: they display intimate political engagement, are genuinely comparative, speak to each other, and…accessibly written. …The volume opens up new vistas on public health, and challenges what we take for granted.” * African Affairs *“Public health in Africa—as elsewhere—is no longer strictly public. Public and private providers are involved in national and transnational partnerships that divide responsibility for health and welfare among a number of agencies and actors. These clear and powerful essays set out this new landscape, exploring how medical professionals and patients, government officials and citizens approach questions of health. This text is required reading for anyone interested in contemporary Africa.”“[The chapters] provide a fascinating range of ethnographically rich and theoretically subtle accounts of and insights into the diverse and often ambiguous practices of ‘public health’ across Africa. …One of the most impressive things about this volume is its integration and coherence…The result is a landmark publication that I believe will become a key text of enduring value – particularly to scholars and practitioners in the fields of public health, global health, and medical anthropology – but also to a much wider audience within and beyond anthropology.” * Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute *“A powerful and complex picture of what ‘public health’ is in Africa today as commitments to national health systems are being reshaped through the dramatic rise of ‘global health.’ This set of ethnographically rich and historically sensitive essays illustrates the forms of inequality that structure efforts to building health care institutions and that configure debates over who is responsible for the health and care of particular individuals. It is a must read for both Africanists interested in medicine and public health professionals who care about Africa.”“This volume contributes significantly to the rapidly developing scholarship of public health and global health in African contexts, considered either as a collection of excellent chapters or taken as the sum of its parts. … [It] is also book-ended with trenchant, provocative commentaries on the operative theories and current practices of public health in Africa.…Making and Unmaking Public Health in Africa is an ideal fit for teaching the history or anthropology of public health at the undergraduate or graduate level.” * Social History of Medicine *“Though the historical and anthropological literature on public health in Africa has tended to focus on the ‘health’ part of the equation, the chapters in this volume interrogate the meaning of the ‘public’ aspect.…Prince and Marsland argue that in recent years ‘widening global and national inequalities and the emptying out of the public as an inclusive terrain’ has led to a shift in health care provision to ‘the arena of the market and of nongovernmental and transnational organizations’ in most African settings. Individual chapters examine how Africans across the continent interpret and negotiate this chaotic, fractured terrain in a variety of contexts… Recommended.” * Choice *“Any medical anthropologist who works in Africa will want this book in a nearby library. Those of us who study African biomedicine and biomedical research, whether anthropologists or historians, will find it particularly valuable. …As a whole, this excellent collection enlarges the scope of public health and challenges readers to think deeply about who is responsible for African health—and for the many threats to it.” * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *“This superb new edited volume is extraordinarily timely and important.” * Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute *Table of Contents* Acknowledgments * Introduction Situating Health and the Public in Africa Historical and Anthropological Perspectives RUTH J.

Johns Hopkins University Press Life and Death in Rikers Island
Book SynopsisShining a light on the deadly health consequences of incarceration. Finalist in the PROSE Award for Best Book in Anthropology, Criminology, and Sociology by the Association of American PublishersKalief Browder was 16 when he was arrested in the Bronx for allegedly stealing a backpack. Unable to raise bail and unwilling to plead guilty to a crime he didn't commit, Browder spent three years in New York's infamous Rikers Island jailtwo in solitary confinementwhile awaiting trial. After his case was dismissed in 2013, Browder returned to his family, haunted by his ordeal. Suffering through the lonely hell of solitary, Browder had been violently attacked by fellow prisoners and corrections officers throughout his incarceration. Consumed with depression, Browder committed suicide in 2015. He was just 22 years old. In Life and Death in Rikers Island, Homer Venters, the former chief medical officer for New York City's jails, explains the profound health risks associated with incarceration. FTrade ReviewReporters have virtually no access to the jails on Rikers Island, but, for many years, Venters had a rare vantage point from which to observe its inner workings . . . He left the city's jail-health service in 2017, and now he has written a crucially important book, Life and Death in Rikers Island, in which he examines one of the most overlooked aspects of mass incarceration: the health risks of being locked up . . . Venters reveals the true human cost of these colossal management failures.—Jennifer Gonnerman, The New YorkerVenters is a role model for using data as a tool for both epidemiology and human rights. In his book, he describes rigorous case reviews and epidemiological studies that demonstrate causes of harm . . . Venters's book impressively demonstrates that too little has been done at Rikers to prevent suffering, violence, and death.—Hans Wolff MD, MPH, and Robert Greifinger MD, American Journal of Public HealthHomer Venter's prescient Life and Death in Rikers Island explains why improving carceral health is important and deserving of more attention. In the COVID-19 era, this argument gains even greater significance . . . The book is also a searing exposé that powerfully illustrates the health risks of incarceration in New York City, as well as those risks that lead to incarceration in the first place . . . This book will be of interest to readers who follow health, medicine, and the carceral system, as well as activists and policy makers working to improve conditions for incarcerated people.—Ezelle Sanford III, The Gotham Center for New York City HistoryTable of ContentsForeword, by Preet BhararaAcknowledgmentsIntroduction Chapter 1.

Oxford University Press Opt Out Organ Donation
Book SynopsisA global shortage of organs for transplantation has led to myriad proposals for improving supply. One that has gained significant traction is so-called opt out', wherein donation becomes the default, and the burden falls on those who do not want their organs used to formally record this.Despite widespread uptake, opt out models are far from flawless. They have, in their theoretical form, been criticised for masquerading as informed consent and inadequately involving families in decisions. In their realised form, they have been suggested to be redundant given practical challenges in following through with the core tenet. Alongside such critiques are concerns around designing opt out systems to satisfy public awareness requirements and protect the vulnerable from inappropriate inclusion.This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of all four UK opt out systems. Rather than assessing the success of these systems in increasing transplantation activity - which it is ultimately too soon for - this book examines the paths to and design of these systems. In dissecting the construction, it manoeuvres towards a better understanding of what a good' opt out system might look like, offering important considerations in the development of future examples elsewhere.Through this analysis, this book also explores the relationship between the four UK nations in their respective moves to introduce opt out. Further, it incorporates comparative discussion with the systems of the Crown Dependencies, highlighting important interplays between the UK and these neighbouring jurisdictions. In doing so, it contributes to the growth of scholarly interest in the impact of devolution on healthcare law.

University of Chicago Press Suing for Medical Malpractice
Book SynopsisMedical malpractice suits today can result in multi-million-dollar settlements, and a practicing physician can pay $100,000 or more annually for malpractice insurance. Some complain that lawyers and plaintiffs are overcompensated by exorbitant judgments that add to the rising cost of health care. But there has been very little evidence to show whether these arguments are true. In this timely work, six experts in health policy, law, and medicine study nearly 200 malpractice claims to show that, contrary to popular perceptions, victims of malpractice are not overcompensated and our legal system for dealing with malpractice claims is not defective. The authors survey claims filed in Florida between 1986 and 1989 by people who suffered permanent injury or death during birth or during treatment in an emergency room. How often did illegitimate claims result in financial awards? What was the relation between the injury and the amount the patient lost economically? How much did the plaintiffs actually recover? How did the claimants choose their lawyers and what kind of relationship did they have?Contrary to common perceptions, in the majority of cases the claims were merited, and the authors found that claimants were on average substantially undercompensated--only about one-fifth of plaintiffs recovered more than their economic loss caused by injury or death. The evidence in this book suggests that placing dollar limits on malpractice cases is unjustified and that our tort system is not so faulty after all.Table of ContentsList of Tables List of Figures List of Boxes Preface Acknowledgments Ch. 1: Setting the Stage Frank A.

Developing a new understanding of the social significance of religion, Nursing the Spirit recasts the intersection of science and spirituality by centering the perspectives of the people who provide care.Trade ReviewDon Grant brings the reader into the lived interpersonal experience of religion through the care that nurses engender of the body and spirit of patients. Out of such professional caregiving, Grant advances the social theory of care as a moral, emotional, and spiritual practice that resists professional and bureaucratic constraints on the meaning and future of the human in our highly technologized, bureaucratized, and neoliberal times. A serious and provocative achievement! -- Arthur Kleinman, author of The Soul of Care: The Moral Education of a Husband and a DoctorDon Grant's book on spirituality, and nursing the human spirit is an inspired treatise of sustaining human caring and human dignity wherever it is present! This work honors nursing as an exemplar of spirituality, depth of human spirit, and transcendent yet immanent nature of our shared humanity—evident in small and grand ways. Grant captures the universal history of human care and its relevant to diverse fields and life itself. A tremendous resource for interdisciplinary professional and lay interests, studies and practices. -- Jean Watson, author of Nursing: The Philosophy and Science of CaringDon Grant raises crucial questions about medical institutions, the place of spirituality in healthcare, and the limits of sociology as a way of knowing. Nursing the Spirit is a fascinating experiment in multifaceted research, as Grant juxtaposes first-person writing—about his experiences as an intern chaplain and as a patient—with social scientific methods of studying nursing work. The experiential and methodological modes of inquiry each tell their own truths, and readers can contemplate how these overlap and diverge. -- Arthur W. Frank, author of The Wounded Storyteller: Body, Illness, and EthicsBased on research at a hospital planning to end its chaplaincy program, Nursing the Spirit thoughtfully and sympathetically delves into how nurses think and talk about the spiritual aspects of their work, and how they sometimes provide spiritual care to patients. Both personal and scholarly, this book explores what it might mean for nurses to care for people’s entire selves—not just their bodies—and the challenges of doing so. -- Mark Chaves, author of American Religion: Contemporary Trends, second editionReligions urge us to care for suffering strangers. Nursing the Spirit shows that, although hospitals are bureaucratic organizations applying medical science, they are also places where nurses, in an unofficial and low-key way, offer spiritual (as well as physical) care to patients. Grant explains how and why they do this, and grapples with the important question of how an ethic of care can be kept alive in today’s societies. -- Paula England, New York University, past President of the American Sociological AssociationHow can the ideal of being ready to help not only those close to us, and of considering all people spiritual beings, be preserved and translated into social reality?

University of Notre Dame Press Human Dignity and Bioethics
Book SynopsisThis collection of essays, commissioned by the President's Council on Bioethics, explores a fundamental concept crucial to today's discourse in law and ethics in general and in bioethics in particular. Since its formation in 2001, the council has frequently used the term human dignity in its discussions and reports. In this volume scholars from the fields of philosophy, medicine and medical ethics, law, political science, and public policy address the issue of what the concept of human dignity entails and its proper role in bioethical controversies. Human Dignity and Bioethics is an attempt to clarify a controversial concept, one that is a critical component in the decisions of policymakers. Contributors: Adam Schulman, F. Daniel Davis, Daniel C. Dennett, Robert P. Kraynak, Alfonso Gómez-Lobo, Patricia S. Churchland, Gilbert Meilaender, Holmes Rolston III, Charles Rubin, Nick Bostrom, Richard John Neuhaus, Peter Augustine Lawler, Diana Schaub, Leon R. Kass, Susan M. ShTrade Review“In response to questions about the use of the term human dignity in the published reports of the President’s Council on Bioethics, the Council commissioned this collection of essays examining the concept from a multitude of disciplinary perspectives, including theology, philosophy, medicine, and the biological sciences.” —Research Book News“This collection of essays was commissioned by the President’s Council on Bioethics and explores a fundamental concept crucial to today’s discourse in law and ethics in general and in bioethics in particular. Since its formation in 2001, the council has frequently used the term ‘human dignity’ in its discussions and reports.

This volume is a good introduction to the topic, but also offers rich, and complex ideas for more advanced readers.” —The Quarterly Review of Biology“The anthology Human Dignity and Bioethics presents a collection of papers originally published by the US-American President’s Council on Bioethics ‘in response to questions about the Council’s use of the term human dignity.’ It provides an extremely helpful and illuminating survey of different understandings of ‘human dignity’ and their consequences for bioethics. It also illustrates the diversity of interpretations that may very well contradict each other and come to different consequences in dealing with bioethical issues . . . the greatest use of the volume lies in its compilation of different approaches and concepts regarding ‘human dignity.’” —Studies in Christian Ethics

A must-read for students of the medical profession.”—David Blumenthal, M.D., coauthor of The Heart of Power: Health and Politics in the Oval Office and president of the Commonwealth Fund “A bold, zealous reassessment of the American Medical Association as profoundly progressive before a 1920s reactionary turn. Certain to animate spirited debate over the political transformations underlying America’s medical disorder.”—John Harley Warner, author of Dissection and coeditor of Locating Medical History “A necessary and worthy successor to Paul Starr’s momentous Social Transformation of American Medicine. Peter Swenson vividly portrays the history of an enormous business and profession that meanders but is not lost.”—George D. Lundberg, M.D., author of Severed Trust: Why American Medicine Hasn’t Been Fixed “Peter Swenson challenges conventional wisdom about the political history of medicine in the US telling, among other things, a fascinating—and most timely—story about the dark side of American populism and how it has long disrupted public health and the common good. Disorder is deeply researched, beautifully written, thought-provoking, and highly recommended.”—James A. Morone, author of Hellfire Nation and Republic of Wrath “This sweeping opus tells an epic tale of American medicine, with its complexities and struggles, and helps us simultaneously see its flaws and promise—while providing an impetus to guide the progress to a better era.”—Harlan M. Krumholz, M.D., author of The Expert Guide to Beating Heart Disease“This book is both an important contribution to the history of the American medical profession (and its impact on society as a whole), and a reminder of the malleable, historically contingent nature of its identity and ethos.”—Scott H. Podolsky, M.D., author of The Antibiotic Era “With fresh facts and never-before-heard anecdotes, Disorder provides an insightful, often-surprising and enjoyably readable history of organized medicine in America and its impact on us all.”—Michael L. Millenson, author of Demanding Medical Excellence: Doctors and Accountability in the Information Age “This book is a definitive account of the politics and societal underpinnings of U.S. health policy during the Progressive Era. It is rich with material about the bewilderment, innovation, conflict, and reaction as the medical establishment processed the pressures for change in this time of evolving science.”—David R. Mayhew, author of Divided We Govern “Peter Swenson’s Disorder is a triumph of scholarship and certain to be the go-to source on the political transformations of American medicine over 150 years.”—Howard Wolinsky, coauthor of The Serpent on the Staff: The Unhealthy Politics of the American Medical Association “Peter Swenson reveals the conservativism of American medicine as not a fixed reality of incentives but a tense, emergent political coalition. Disorder shows medical conservatism's political triumph rested on the successes and frailties of earlier progressivism.”—Daniel Carpenter, author of Democracy by Petition

Taylor & Francis Diagnostic Cultures
Book SynopsisSome studies estimate that each year, around a quarter of the population of Western countries will suffer from at least one mental disorder. Should this be interpreted as evidence for the progress of psychiatry, a discipline that is now able to identify and treat mental illnesses that have always existed, or might it be the case that modern life somehow creates new conditions, or social pathologies? This book argues that in fact something more fundamental has been taking place in recent years: the development of diagnostic cultures. Taking account of the phenomenon of patients themselves ''pushing for'' pathologization - and acknowledging therefore that this is not simply a case of psychiatry pursuing an agenda of ''medicalisation from above'' - this volume examines the emerging trend towards interpreting our sufferings in terms of psychiatric conceptions and diagnostic categories. Drawing on new empirical case studies of psychological diagnoses, including depression and ADHD, and emplTrade Review"A captivating analysis of the ways that use of medical diagnoses to categorize human behavior has altered our inner experience and our everyday social lives." - Donald R.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Queering Fat Embodiment
Book SynopsisCultural anxieties about fatness and the attendant stigmatisation of fat bodies, have lent a medical authority and cultural legitimacy to what can be described as 'fat-phobia'. Against the backdrop of the ever-growing medicalisation, pathologisation, and commodification of fatness, coupled with the moral panic over an alleged 'obesity epidemic', this volume brings together the latest scholarship from various critical disciplines to challenge existing ideas of fat and fat embodiment. Shedding light on the ways in which fat embodiment is lived, experienced, regulated and (re)produced across a range of cultural sites and contexts, Queering Fat Embodiment destabilises established ideas about fat bodies, making explicit the intersectionality of fat identities and thereby countering the assertion that fat studies has in recent years reproduced a white, ableist, heteronormative subjectivity in its analyses. A critical queer examination on fatness, Queering Fat Embodiment will be of interest tTrade Review’Queering Fat Embodiment is the first book to focus on the intersection of queer studies and fat studies, and promises to be a classic in its field. What could be more exciting than discussions of fat and queer fashion, desire, performance, cyberspace, and politics, as well as the fluidity of gender identity, bodies, and sexuality? It’s a great read.’ Esther D. Rothblum, San Diego State University, USA ’Queering Fat Embodiment is an important contribution to the emerging literature of Fat Studies because it restates the necessity for radical critique and makes space for anti-assimilationist activism. The book offers an exciting balance of better-known contributors and fresh new voices and I highly recommend it to anybody interested in developing a critical understanding of fat and obesity.’ Dr Charlotte Cooper, charlottecooper.net, obesitytimebomb.blogspot.co.uk, twitter.com/thebeeferTable of ContentsQueering Fat Embodiment

Taylor & Francis Ltd Values in Medicine What are We Really Doing to
Book SynopsisWritten by a leading proponent of the philosophy and ethics of healthcare, this volume is filled with thought-provoking and frequently controversial ideas and arguments. Accessibly written, it provides readers with a timely contribution to the current literature on medical ethics, in which the concept of subjectivity is a key issue characterizing current medical humanities.Examining the critical assumption that scientifically-demonstrable facts will remove all uncertainty, the author argues that ethical dimensions of clinical practice do not always arise from undisputed facts, but that they are sometimes to be found at the level of the determinations of the facts themselves.Firmly placing the patient back on centre stage, without underestimating the crucial role which science plays in modern medicine, this volume is an excellent account of ethics and science in healthcare and their proper place in assessing and meeting people's health needs.Table of Contents1.

Hundreds of studies had previously established a link between racial discrimination and the health of Black Americans, with little progress toward solutions. But Villarosa's article exposing that a Black woman with a college education is as likely to die or nearly die in childbirth as a white woman with an eighth grade education made racial disparities in health care impossible to ignore.Now, in Under the Skin, Linda Villarosa lays bare the forces in the American health-care system and in American society that cause Black people to “live sicker and die quicker” compared to their white counterparts. Today's medical texts and instruments still carry fallacious slavery-era assumptions that Black bodies are fundamentally different from white bodies. Study after study of medical settings show worse treatment and outcomes for Black patients. Black people live in dirtier, more polluted communities due to environmental racism and neglect from all levels of government. And, most powerfully, Villarosa describes the new understanding that coping with the daily scourge of racism ages Black people prematurely. Anchored by unforgettable human stories and offering incontrovertible proof, Under the Skin is dramatic, tragic, and necessary reading.

Supporters of personalized, or precision, medicine—the tailoring of health care to our genomes—have promised to usher in a new era of miracle cures. Advocates of this gene-guided health-care practice foresee a future where skyrocketing costs can be curbed by customization and unjust disparities are vanquished by biomedical breakthroughs. Progress, however, has come slowly, and with a price too high for the average citizen.In Tyranny of the Gene, James Tabery exposes the origin story of personalized medicine—essentially a marketing idea dreamed up by pharmaceutical executives—and traces its path from the Human Genome Project to the present, revealing how politicians, influential federal scientists, biotech companies, and drug giant

Gostin examines the key cross-border threats to our well-being, from infectious diseases to bioterrorism, and proposes pragmatic solutions: targeted research, robust international institutions, and tools for effective global action.Trade ReviewGostin draws on the lessons of AIDS, SARS, Ebola, and the COVID-19 pandemic to lay out a roadmap for global health security, making a powerful and persuasive case for how the principles of solidarity, equity, and justice must guide the international community in preparing for and responding to the health crises of the future. -- Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health OrganizationGlobal Health Security is invaluable, drawing critical lessons from the world’s epic struggle with COVID-19, and looking far beyond. Gostin incisively analyses future threats, from superbugs and antimicrobial resistance to bioterrorism, and charts a better course through global solidarity and enlightened self-interest. If you read only one book on global health this year, make it this one. -- Sir Jeremy Farrar, Director of WellcomeThe world has learned valuable lessons from infectious disease outbreaks. Yet the power of lessons is in their use. In this book, Gostin provides a sweeping view of what is needed to avert disaster in the future. The crucial question is: will people read and act on his suggestions? -- William Herbert Foege, 10th Director of the Centers for Disease Control and PreventionWe are entering an age of pandemics, one marked with more frequent disease outbreaks and increasingly greater threats to our social order. There is no one better than Gostin to connect the dots across outbreaks, laying out how climate change, economic development, and globalization have created new risks. But more than sounding the alarm, he brilliantly charts a path forward for how nations and indeed the world can be better prepared to meet these threats head on. -- Ashish K. Jha, Dean of the Brown University School of Public HealthAs a leading public health legal scholar and global health activist, Gostin has influenced the course of every major public health crisis of our time, from HIV/AIDS, to SARS, Ebola, and now COVID-19. Global Health Security draws on those important experiences but looks forward, charting a clear and compelling framework to assess future biological threats and effectively address them. Masterfully insightful. -- Peggy Hamburg, former Foreign Secretary of the National Academy of MedicineDiscouraged but inspired by COVID‑19, [Gostin’s] wide-ranging study analyzes the science and politics of past and present global disease, with hypothetical exercises about a new influenza, bioterrorism, and cholera. He recommends steps to reduce pandemic risk, such as increasing surveillance of animal pathogens and their movement. Above all, he calls for a ‘new politics,’ free from nationalistic populism. -- Andrew Robinson * Nature *[A] comprehensive and detailed blueprint for responding to global health crises.

Stevens, Bulletin of the History of Medicine "Another autopsy of the failure to implement a US national health plan? Yes, but Dead on Arrival is more interesting, informative, and compelling than others.

He probes issues central to resolving the enormous problems and inequities--not to mention the looming financial threats--that bedevil American medical care."--Beryl Lieff Benderly, Science "While bringing insightful ethical, social, political and economic perspectives to this timely, well-documented discourse of the ballooning costs of American health care and Medicare, Callahan concentrates on the growing costs of medical technology, which, along with uncontrolled governmental healthcare spending, threaten to drag this country into financial crisis... This excellent overview of reaching the goal of universal health care is a good resource for anyone concerned with the future of health care and its economics."--Library Journal "The rising cost of health care has preoccupied policy makers and the public for decades. Callahan contends that the principal cause of rising costs lies in Americans' infatuation with new medical technologies... Callahan argues that the U.S. must rethink the goals of medical technologies and accept new limits on the availability and appropriate use of expensive medical treatments."--Choice "This book reflects the author's expertise not only as a researcher but also as a philosopher. He presents his arguments, discusses alternatives, and anticipates counterarguments, all with ample citations... [T]his book will engage readers seeking to gain insight on health care reform and cost control from the perspective of a pragmatic philosopher."--Leslie R.

Random House Canada Better Now
Book SynopsisFrom respected doctor and passionate Medicare advocate Danielle Martin, an important check-up on our health-care system--and what urgently needs fixing. Dr. Danielle Martin sees the cracks and challenges in our health-care system every day. In the style of Atul Gawande, she uses real patient stories to illustrate what works in our health-care system and what doesn''t. Most importantly, she proposes six big ideas to make healthcare achievable and affordable: 1) a national drug program; 2) change the way we deliver care; 3) reduce unnecessary tests; 4) strengthen primary care; 5) create a guaranteed income program; and 6) scale up successful innovation. One of the most urgent reforms she advocates for is a national pharmacare program, instead of the piecemeal provincial pattern of buying drugs. Canada could save billions if drugs were bought in bulk by a single body, which in turn could fund a

Lexington Books Caring for Them from Birth to Death
Book SynopsisThis study examines Cuba''s medical system from the inside out and illuminates what the numbers cannothow the system works and what Cuban life is like. Through qualitative interviews and participant observation, the everyday realities of the Cuban experience are revealed and through them, the values and ideologies of the revolution. This book shows how universal access to medical services can make the difference in the lives of poor people. Cuba does more than provide free services however; it has redefined what medicine is and what doctors and nurses can be. This work deepens the scholarship on Cuban medicine. It is the first to focus solely on the community based primary care systemComprehensive Family Medicine and its activist health care professionalsthe family doctors and nurses. Caring for Them from Birth to Death is based on interviews and observations conducted in the field over three years in Cuba. The book challenges assumptions about the health of poor populations and demonTrade ReviewWhat Michael Moore's documentary Sicko hinted but not explained, is wonderfully and clearly illustrated in this book. Cuba's health system, with its focus on prevention, community-based doctors, and a people-over-profits approach produces better health outcomes and at a lesser cost than the HMO-driven for-profit health system of the USA. This book ought to be required reading for progressive politicians, policy makers, development and public health specialists, and by every medical student in the USA. Bravo, Christina Perez! -- Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Duke University; author of Racism Without RacistsThis engaging narrative of preventative community based medicine, practiced in spite of a long and punishing US embargo, brings the reader to tears. Perhaps this story told by ordinary family doctors, nurses, and patients—- who situate care in neigborhoods—-can open the imagination of Americans so desperate before our own hijacked and moribund health care system. Perez captures the vibrant daily life within which practitioners heal, cajole, and dance the Cuban body. -- Renny Golden, Professor Emerita at Northeastern Illinois University, current adjunct professor at University of New Mexico, author of War on tIn her superb book, Christina Pérez offers the most incisive analysis of the Cuban health system yet to appear in the English language. Based on remarkable interviews and observations during several years of research in Cuba, this definitive work will become a classic. The book illuminates the integration of complementary and alternative medicine within primary care, as well as Cuba's path-breaking approaches to social medicine and public health. As a model of social scientific research, the book's influence will go far beyond health and medicine. This wonderful book will inspire teachers, students, researchers, policy makers, and anyone who cares about the relationships between health and society. -- Howard WaitzkinCaring for Them from Birth to Death is a testimony to the remarkable medical achievements of a revolutionary system driven by human needs rather than profit. Christina Perez offers a fascinating, first-hand look at Cuban socialism as it defies neoliberal prescriptions and continues to deliver comprehensive, prevention-oriented health care services under the crushing weight of a U.S. trade embargo. Sensitive and engaging, the reader comes face-to-face with ordinary Cubans and gets an unprecedented look at the valiant people who make this exemplary system work on an everyday basis. Open-minded but far from indifferent, Perez's fresh approach provides an inside look long missing in the literature and enables the reader to draw their own conclusions about Cuba's revolutionary system of medicine. -- Richard A.

Lexington Books Health Care Disparities and the LGBT Population
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThis collection particularly underscores the importance of two major health policy issues—gaps in access to insurance coverage for LGBT people and discrimination against transgender people in the health system—that health professionals and those working for LGBT equality alike need to take up in earnest, especially in the era of the opportunities for change offered by the Affordable Care Act. The book explicitly frames its engagement with LGBT health issues through the framework of the unprecedented progress in public policy that has been achieved over the last five years. It demonstrates how research and policy can go hand in hand to define opportunities for change, and it will help readers from all backgrounds craft real solutions that work for LGBTQ people, our families, and our communities. -- Kellan Baker, Center for American ProgressThe editors’ coverage of topics related to health disparities for sexual minority men and women is impressive. This comprehensive volume will be an essential resource for researchers and policy-makers, as well as health care providers and consumers, who are interested in understanding and ultimately reducing health disparities for the LGBT community. -- Robin Lewis, Old Dominion UniversityTable of ContentsForeword Gary L.
