Book excerpt: Once, Americans could count on having a personal or primary care physician who would see patients for new or chronic problems, whether in the office or the hospital. The appeal of such a system is more than psychological, for both primary care and continuity of care with a physician over time are associated with improved patient care, greater patient satisfaction, and lower overall costs. These days are ending as primary care in the United States is rapidly disappearing. Where once 80% of American doctors were in primary care, now perhaps only a quarter of new graduates enter the field. Existing primary care doctors are retiring prematurely while many of those remaining feel demoralized, dispirited, and defeated. Experts predict increasing shortages of primary care doctors. The collapse of primary care will increase overall costs, hurt hospitals and insurers, but most of all damage the care of patients. Patients in Peril explains the roots of the problem, the travails of primary care in America, the role of medical schools, hospitals, insurers and government, and how this all affects patients. Patients in Peril also offers practical achievable reforms that would improve care, reduce costs, and potentially avert this disaster.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NHS is in crisis - it's in record demand, and care services are at breaking point - but what if the solution to rescuing the NHS is in the hands of the patients themselves? In this refreshingly positive and remarkable book, David Gilbert shares the powerful real-life stories of 'patient leaders' - ordinary people affected by life-changing illnesses, disabilities, or conditions, who have all gone back into the fray to help change the healthcare system in necessary and inspiring ways. Charting their diverse journeys - from managing to live with their condition, and their motivation to change the status quo, right through to their successes in improving approaches to health and social care - these moving and courageous stories aim to motivate others to take back control and showcase the pivotal importance of patients as genuine decision-making leaders. Filled with hard-won wisdom and everyday heroism, The Patient Revolution challenges current discourse and sets out an empowering vision of how patient leaders can change the future of healthcare.

Book excerpt: Greene’s history sheds light on the controversies shadowing the success of generics: problems with the generalizability of medical knowledge, the fragile role of science in public policy, and the increasing role of industry, marketing, and consumer logics in late-twentieth-century and early twenty-first century health care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know? Nearly 25,000 silent murders take place in India each year? Why treatment methods of tantriks or quacks sometimes succeed? The truth behind attacks on and sometimes, even lynching of physicians? Why doctors have to bear the brunt when treatments do not work, often because of mistakes made by patients and their kin? Why the medical fraternity is disillusioned? These are questions often ignored and we automatically assume that there is a divine link between a doctor and his patients. Very few people take the time to ponder over the gradual disintegration of this symbiotic relationship of deep respect and compassion. It is an undeniable fact everyone, from every walk of life, needs doctors to be able to live their lives in good health. 'God in Peril' is a detailed account of events and incidents that throw light on the diminishing bond between you and your healer. It traces in detail the unfair violence against doctors and the unjustifiable attitude of patients in the event of failed treatment procedures. It makes us realize the importance of accepting a doctor's advice completely and unequivocally, as well as follow it faithfully. Bolstered by true incidents, personal experiences of medical veterans and real-life examples, this book will certainly prove to be a shocking eye-opener.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For half a century the New Orleans Academy of Ophthalmology has been dedicated to providing an annual in-depth evaluation of an important clinical topic in ophthalmology. These symposia have always been a combination of relevant clinical thought, based on outstanding knowledge, and current research. In 1996 this tradition was continued with the symposium "Peril to the Nerve - Ophthalmology". From the latest discussions in the literature to provocative round tables and clinical controversy presentations, the participants discussed clinically useful topics in these fields. The panelists in the glaucoma segment were Drs Michael Kass, Donald Minckler, Paul Palmberg, Harry Quigley, George Spaeth and Thom Zimmerman; those in the neuro-ophthalmology section were Drs Ronald M.Burde, Joel S. Glazer and Normal J. Schatz. This volume contains the updated papers and reports of the round table discussions at this meeting. It can be considered a "state-of-the-art" publication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narratives have always played a prominent role in both bioethics and medicine; the fields have attracted much storytelling, ranging from great literature to humbler stories of sickness and personal histories. And all bioethicists work with cases--from court cases that shape policy matters to case studies that chronicle sickness. But how useful are these various narratives for sorting out moral matters? What kind of ethical work can stories do--and what are the limits to this work? The new essays in Stories and Their Limits offer insightful reflections on the relationship between narratives and ethics.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coupled with the general decline in real estate values and opportunitie~ for capital fonnation, the health care industry is in the midst of unprecedented change that has resulted in unneeded real estate, excess debt and a major need for capital to meet new organizational challenges. Indeed, these are challenging times, evolutionary if not revolutionary: Reorganizations. Restructures. Shakeouts. Closures. Do you know what the strategic alternatives and solutions are for your facility or organization? Has your 1980s health care asset become a 1990s liability? What will your organization look like in the post-health care refonn era, and how will your real estate help --or hinder --this transition? If the private payor doesn't get you, the government may. If the government doesn't get you, the market will. Only the strong, the swift and the knowledgeable will survive these "winds of change" and the various forces at play today. Will your organization be one of those which do? If you are unsure of the answers to these questions, this publication may be for you. Based upon the inaugural University of Southern CalifornialManatt Phelps Phillips Health Care Industry Real Estate Institute, held in Los Angeles, California on February 9, 1995, if this book does not provide all of the answers, it will provide some, as well as assisting the reader at least to identify the questions that need asking, and answering.

Book excerpt: A riveting exploration of the most difficult and important part of what doctors do, by Yale School of Medicine physician Dr. Lisa Sanders, author of the monthly New York Times Magazine column "Diagnosis," the inspiration for the hit Fox TV series House, M.D. "The experience of being ill can be like waking up in a foreign country. Life, as you formerly knew it, is on hold while you travel through this other world as unknown as it is unexpected. When I see patients in the hospital or in my office who are suddenly, surprisingly ill, what they really want to know is, ‘What is wrong with me?’ They want a road map that will help them manage their new surroundings. The ability to give this unnerving and unfamiliar place a name, to know it—on some level—restores a measure of control, independent of whether or not that diagnosis comes attached to a cure. Because, even today, a diagnosis is frequently all a good doctor has to offer." A healthy young man suddenly loses his memory—making him unable to remember the events of each passing hour. Two patients diagnosed with Lyme disease improve after antibiotic treatment—only to have their symptoms mysteriously return. A young woman lies dying in the ICU—bleeding, jaundiced, incoherent—and none of her doctors know what is killing her. In Every Patient Tells a Story, Dr. Lisa Sanders takes us bedside to witness the process of solving these and other diagnostic dilemmas, providing a firsthand account of the expertise and intuition that lead a doctor to make the right diagnosis. Never in human history have doctors had the knowledge, the tools, and the skills that they have today to diagnose illness and disease. And yet mistakes are made, diagnoses missed, symptoms or tests misunderstood. In this high-tech world of modern medicine, Sanders shows us that knowledge, while essential, is not sufficient to unravel the complexities of illness. She presents an unflinching look inside the detective story that marks nearly every illness—the diagnosis—revealing the combination of uncertainty and intrigue that doctors face when confronting patients who are sick or dying. Through dramatic stories of patients with baffling symptoms, Sanders portrays the absolute necessity and surprising difficulties of getting the patient’s story, the challenges of the physical exam, the pitfalls of doctor-to-doctor communication, the vagaries of tests, and the near calamity of diagnostic errors. In Every Patient Tells a Story, Dr. Sanders chronicles the real-life drama of doctors solving these difficult medical mysteries that not only illustrate the art and science of diagnosis, but often save the patients’ lives.
