Johns Hopkins University Press Living Well with a Serious Illness
Book SynopsisA practical guide for understanding how palliative care can improve quality of life for patients and their caregivers. Robin Bennett Kanarek was a registered nurse working with patients suffering from chronic medical conditions when her ten-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia. As her son endured grueling treatments, Robin realized how often medical professionals overlook critical psychological, emotional, and spiritual support for people with life-threatening illnesses. Living Well with a Serious Illness is the culmination of decades of Robin's work to advance the field of palliative care. Although palliative care is often associated with hospice and end-of-life planning, Kanarek argues for a more expanded definition that incorporates palliative care earlier in patients' journeys. Living Well with a Serious Illness helps patients and their caregivers understand what palliative care entails how to access the support they need when going through a serious illness what questions Table of ContentsForeword by Sunita Puri, MDIntroduction: David's Story1.

MIT Press Underbelly
Book SynopsisAn unsettling exploration of the hidden power dynamics of global health, seen through the lens of childhood diarrhea and its treatment within the Guatemalan context.Deaths from childhood diarrhea seem preposterous in high-income countries. Yet, for children under five years old in the rest of the world, diarrhea is the third highest cause of mortality. Despite a glut of prevention and treatment programming spanning more than forty years, this least glamorous of global health ills remains a critical problem. In Underbelly, Rachel Hall-Clifford takes a hard look at the pathways of global health funding and development policies and the outcomes they deliver for recipient individuals and communities. Drawing on fifteen years of ethnographic research in highland Guatemala, Hall-Clifford focuses on the provision of primary health care services as a critical exemplar of how global health and development programs fall short.Guatemala has a fragmented health system

John Wiley and Sons Ltd The Sociology of Health and Illness
Book SynopsisSarah Nettleton’s The Sociology of Health and Illness has become a cornerstone text, popular with students and academics alike for its rigorous and accessible overview of the field. Building on these strengths, the fourth edition integrates fresh insights from the current literature with the core tenets of traditional medical sociology, providing students with a thorough grounding in the sociology of health and illness. The text covers a diversity of topics and draws on a wide range of analytic approaches, spanning issues such as the social construction of medical knowledge, the analysis of lay health beliefs, concepts of lifestyles and risk, the experience of illness and the sociology of the body. It also explores matters that are central to health policy, such as professional–patient relationships, health inequalities and the changing nature of health care work. A new chapter has been added, on the sociology of mental health; other chapters have been updated with illustrative examples and questions for discussion. Written for students of the social sciences, this book will also appeal to students taking vocational degrees, such as nursing, medicine and public health, who require a sociological grounding in the area. Thoroughly revised and fully updated, this fourth edition will prove invaluable to anyone looking for a clear and engaging introduction to contemporary debates within the sociology of health and illness.Trade Review"Nettleton blends older and newer studies into an updated, authoritative, theoretically instructive and critical account of medical sociology.

Fernwood Publishing Co Ltd Losing Me, While Losing You: Caregivers Share
Book SynopsisLosing Me, While Losing You is a long-needed resource to those providing care for persons with dementia - and for those providing care to the caregivers. In this book, caregivers speak from their own experiences of caring for loved ones with dementia; they cover when they first noticed behavioural changes, what they did and how their role changed when they received the diagnosis, how the experiences changed their perceptions of themselves, especially in cases where important ones no longer recognized them or their, often long-standing, relationships. The caregivers also talked about what resources, if any, were available to support them through the caregiving journey, what recommendations they would make to government policymakers and to others in similar situations. This book is unique in that it documents the personal lived experience of loss which family, friends and caregivers go through as their roles, expectations and images of self are changed throughout the caregiving process.

Beacon Press Treating Violence
Book SynopsisThe inspiring story of a Black doctor deeply affected by the violence in his childhood that plagued his Brooklyn community who was determined to be a force for change and dedicated himself to addressing trauma and violence as public health issuesRob Gore first encountered violence when he was beaten and robbed as a 10-year old; it was treated as an inevitable fact of life, but after another brush with violence as a teen, he began to reject that prevalent attitude. As he matured and became a doctor, he grew in his determination to find treatments for what he saw not as an unavoidable fact for most people living in vulnerable, underserved neighborhoods especially, but as a public health issue that could be addressed by early intervention and solid support, beginning in the medical community. He also became deeply involved in efforts to diversify the entire field of medicine, starting with the “front lines” in the Emergency Department.Seeing his brother,

Book Synopsis***A Waterstones Best Books of 2022 pick***'David Haslam is uniquely placed to reflect on how healthcare has lost its way, what needs to be done to fix it and why all of us are responsible for doing so... The importance and timeliness of his messages shines through.' Dr Phil Hammond'A fascinating and important book.' Dr Amanda BrownWith a single drug in the UK currently costing £340,000 per patient per year, or a gene therapy in the USA being costed at $1.2million, who should get such treatments, and how can we begin to afford them? Should we all be entitled to timely mental health therapy? How should we care for our old? As we grapple with the world's worst pandemic for a century, our minds are on our health more than ever. But what should we rightfully expect of doctors? In this original and thought-provoking book, Sir David Haslam explores what good healthcare should achieve and asks how we pay for it. Informed by patient stories and data from across the world - from US big pharma to Britain's NHS - this is an urgent and often moving examination of our most important asset: our health.Trade ReviewA superb analysis of the thorny, intractable, endlessly sidestepped issues that bedevil 21st-century healthcare... It is genuinely exhilarating to read a proper, heavyweight analysis framed in prose as blunt, on point and devoid of spin as Haslam's.... This brilliant book offers no glib solutions, only thoughtful suggestions, but the questions it poses are electrifying. * Observer *David Haslam is uniquely placed to reflect on how healthcare has lost its way, what needs to be done to fix it and why all of us are responsible for doing so...

Refreshing * Guardian *It is hard to think of anyone more qualified to reflect on all aspects of health and healthcare than David Haslam... Clear and accessible. -- Professor Sir Michael Marmot, author of The Health GapThis insightful, extensively referenced work has taken the hugely complex challenges of the provision of universal state-funded healthcare in a sustainable way and unpicked them thoughtfully... I was absorbed from the outset. -- Professor Dame Helen Stokes-Lampard, Chair of the Academy of Medical Royal CollegesA must-read for all who care about the nation's health and our healthcare. -- Professor Martin Marshall, Chair of the Royal College of General PractitionersTable of Contents1: We've Got a Problem 2: How Did We Get Here? 3: Paying the Price 4: Why Is it All So Expensive? 5: Valuing a Life 6: Better than Cure 7: Overtreatment and Overdiagnosis 8: Hearts and Minds 9: Age and Ageing 10: And in the End . 11: Care in the Future 12: A Way Forward
