Book excerpt: "This is the work of a masterful scholar and writer, who has a deep appreciation for law and medicine, and the core-competencies to back it up. By far, Matthew's account provides a detailed innovative approach that could have a revolutionary impact on the way the judicial system tackles medical malpractice and the loss of chance doctrine." -- Dr. Stephen Glazer, MD FRCPC FCCP. With every diagnosis given and every treatment prescribed, patients find themselves confined to operate on a metaphorical chess-board encumbered by statistics. There is virtually no liberation. "How long do I have?" "Is it fatal?" "What are my options?" "What is my chance of survival?" These are the quintessential queries which preoccupy and burden the mind. For any given patient, diagnosis and prognosis offer insight and to some extent clarity. Unfortunately, this reality is oftnever realized when patients are subjected to negligent misdiagnosis. Under the shroud of wrongful error, the patient loses a statistical advantage pertaining to their survival or recovery. Consideration of this loss of chance as compensable at lawhas sparked prodigious debate amongst legal scholars and judicial decision makers spanning the globe. However, as medical malpractice actions in some countries have seen a decline in patient claim success over the past 40 years, many have argued a new judicial approach is needed. One approach offered is to utilize the loss of chance doctrine. What is it? How does it work? What is the Walker Approach? These answers and more await you inside this book.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the publication In this book, Pat van den Heever assesses the application of the doctrine of a loss of a chance in medical negligence cases in South Africa. He emphasises the difficulties often encountered by courts when adjudicating on causation in medical negligence cases in the face of multiple causation theories. On the basis of a thorough review of the position regarding the doctrine of a loss of a chance in The United States of America, Australia and Britain, he proposes for South Africa a de lege ferenda loss of chance model for application in medical negligence matters. As the first ever major work dealing with the application of the doctrine of a loss of a chance in medical negligence matters in South Africa, this book is of interest to the courts and the legal profession generally, legal academics working in the field of medical law and the law of delict, health care providers, and members of the medical and allied professions, their councils, associations and protection societies. "This publication is the first authoritative and substantive research on the doctrine of a loss of a chance in the context of medical negligence in South African medical law ... Dr van den Heever's thorough and comprehensive comparative approach and discussion of the doctrine here, is commendable ... [T]his publication is indeed timely!" - Pieter Carstens, Professor of Medical Law, University of Pretoria.

This book was released on 2015-12-29 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting the right diagnosis is a key aspect of health care - it provides an explanation of a patient's health problem and informs subsequent health care decisions. The diagnostic process is a complex, collaborative activity that involves clinical reasoning and information gathering to determine a patient's health problem. According to Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, diagnostic errors-inaccurate or delayed diagnoses-persist throughout all settings of care and continue to harm an unacceptable number of patients. It is likely that most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, sometimes with devastating consequences. Diagnostic errors may cause harm to patients by preventing or delaying appropriate treatment, providing unnecessary or harmful treatment, or resulting in psychological or financial repercussions. The committee concluded that improving the diagnostic process is not only possible, but also represents a moral, professional, and public health imperative. Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, a continuation of the landmark Institute of Medicine reports To Err Is Human (2000) and Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001), finds that diagnosis-and, in particular, the occurrence of diagnostic errorsâ€"has been largely unappreciated in efforts to improve the quality and safety of health care. Without a dedicated focus on improving diagnosis, diagnostic errors will likely worsen as the delivery of health care and the diagnostic process continue to increase in complexity. Just as the diagnostic process is a collaborative activity, improving diagnosis will require collaboration and a widespread commitment to change among health care professionals, health care organizations, patients and their families, researchers, and policy makers. The recommendations of Improving Diagnosis in Health Care contribute to the growing momentum for change in this crucial area of health care quality and safety.

Book excerpt: The landmark New York Times best seller that reveals how the explosion of sugar in our diets has created an obesity epidemic, and what we can do to save ourselves. Robert Lustig is at the forefront of war against sugar — showing us that it's toxic, it's addictive, and it's everywhere because the food companies want it to be. His 90-minute YouTube video "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" has been viewed more than 7 million times. Now, in this landmark book, he documents the science and the politics that have led to personal misery and public crisis — the pandemic of obesity and chronic disease--over the last thirty years. In the late 1970s, when the U.S. government declared that we needed to get the fat out of our diets, the food industry responded by pumping in more sugar to make food more palatable (and more salable), and by removing the fiber to make food last longer on the shelf. The result has been a perfect storm for our health, disastrously altering our biochemistry to make us think we're starving, drive our eating habits out of our control, and turn us into couch potatoes. If we cannot control how we eat, it's because of the catastrophic excess of sugar in our diet--the resulting hormonal imbalances have rewired our brains! To help us lose weight and recover our health, Lustig presents strategies we can each use to readjust the key hormones that regulate hunger, reward, and stress, as well as societal strategies to improve the health of the next generation. With scientific rigor and even a little humor, Fat Chance categorically proves that "a calorie is not a calorie," and takes that knowledge to its logical conclusion--an overhaul of the global food system.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Man Booker Prize: An “extraordinary” novel “lit by a moral intelligence at once fierce and tender” (The New York Times Book Review). In a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas, an embittered old judge wants only to retire in peace. But his life is upended when his sixteen-year-old orphaned granddaughter, Sai, arrives on his doorstep. The judge’s chatty cook watches over the girl, but his thoughts are mostly with his son, Biju, hopscotching from one miserable New York restaurant job to another, trying to stay a step ahead of the INS. When a Nepalese insurgency threatens Sai’s new-sprung romance with her tutor, the household descends into chaos. The cook witnesses India’s hierarchy being overturned and discarded. The judge revisits his past and his role in Sai and Biju’s intertwining lives. In a grasping world of colliding interests and conflicting desires, every moment holds out the possibility for hope or betrayal. Published to extraordinary acclaim, The Inheritance of Loss heralds Kiran Desai as one of our most insightful novelists. She illuminates the pain of exile and the ambiguities of postcolonialism with a tapestry of colorful characters and “uncannily beautiful” prose (O: The Oprah Magazine). “A book about tradition and modernity, the past and the future—and about the surprising ways both amusing and sorrowful, in which they all connect.” —The Independent
