Book Synopsis The Human Side of Medicine by : Laurence A. Savett
Download or read book The Human Side of Medicine written by Laurence A. Savett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-05-30 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time of great change in the technology and delivery of medical care, the timelessness and permanence of the non-technical aspects of medicine—the human side—are of profound value to patients and physicians alike. With more than 30 years of medical practice, teaching, advising, and mentoring medical students and undergraduates, Savett champions two premises: first, that the importance of physicians mastering the human side of medicine is as critical as learning its biology and technology; and second, that this can be taught. Attending to the human side refines diagnosis and treatment by recognizing the uniqueness of each patient's experience, and it enriches the experience for all those in the caring professions. Physicians who have always put their patients' interests first and never compromised their professional values have preserved their identity, vitality, and enthusiasm as caring doctors. This is a book about what keeps the practice of medicine stimulating: not fascinating cases, but fascinating people and relationships, the best reasons to enter medicine. Learning the human side of medicine, asserts Savett, will help attract talented and compassionate people to the field. Full of stories and lessons, ^IThe Human Side of Medicine^R is important reading for those considering a career in medicine and related professions, those already practicing—and patients.

Book excerpt: "A few years ago, the Physician in Chief of our hospital, Dr. Perry Gray, circulated a note of complaint from the wife of a patient who had been cared for in our facility. The note described how her husband had been brought to the emergency room by ambulance, admitted to hospital and shortly thereafter died. She indicated that most of his care was satisfactory and, in some instances, even excellent with one significant exception. Soon after arriving in hospital, his CT scan had shown that his lung cancer had spread to his abdomen and he and the family were told to prepare themselves for the worst. Regular doses of morphine were started to alleviate his pain. He survived the night and early the next morning was still able to answer questions from his oncologist. Shortly thereafter, he slipped into unconsciousness"--

Book Synopsis The Human Side of Medicine by : Joel Merenstein
Download or read book The Human Side of Medicine written by Joel Merenstein and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have the last half-century's technological changes fundamentally altered the doctor-patient relationship? What do three different generations of family physicians have to teach each other - and us - about 21st century medicine? The Human Side of Medicine is an anthology of narrative essays by three generations of family physicians, but it is also an exploration of generational differences and similarities. With both a historical perspective of how family medicine has changed in the last fifty years and transcribed conversations with the authors, this book provides both compelling doctor-patient stories and plenty of context within which to consider them The authors each share personal experiences with patients from their careers, and each has a unique point-of-view. Dr. Merenstein, the most senior of the authors, was a family doctor before the specialty was officially born and brings 40+ years of practice to his perspective. Dr. Han, now in the middle of his career, shows how he became a champion for the underserved and disenfranchised. Dr. Middleton, the youngest of the group, embraces technological advances but struggles to define her identity in a rapidly shifting medical landscape. All of them, though, ultimately describe similar joys and heartbreaks of caring for their patients as family physicians. The Human Side of Medicine would make an ideal resource for a medical humanities course but is equally accessible to the lay public; anyone interested in better understanding how physicians perceive their patients - and how those perceptions may have shifted over the course of three generations - will find it an engrossing read.

Book Synopsis More than Medicine by : Robert M. Kaplan
Download or read book More than Medicine written by Robert M. Kaplan and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stanford’s pioneering behavioral scientist draws on a lifetime of research and experience guiding the NIH to make the case that America needs to radically rethink its approach to health care if it wants to stop overspending and overprescribing and improve people’s lives. American science produces the best—and most expensive—medical treatments in the world. Yet U.S. citizens lag behind their global peers in life expectancy and quality of life. Robert Kaplan brings together extensive data to make the case that health care priorities in the United States are sorely misplaced. America’s medical system is invested in attacking disease, but not in addressing the social, behavioral, and environmental problems that engender disease in the first place. Medicine is important, but many Americans act as though it were all important. The United States stakes much of its health funding on the promise of high-tech diagnostics and miracle treatments, while ignoring strong evidence that many of the most significant pathways to health are nonmedical. Americans spend millions on drugs for high cholesterol, which increase life expectancy by only six to eight months on average. But they underfund education, which might extend life expectancy by as much as twelve years. Wars on infectious disease have paid off, but clinical trials for chronic conditions—costing billions—rarely confirm that new treatments extend life. Meanwhile, the National Institutes of Health spends just 3 percent of its budget on research on the social and behavioral determinants of health, even though these factors account for 50 percent of premature deaths. America’s failure to take prevention seriously costs lives. More than Medicine argues that we need a shakeup in how we invest resources, and it offers a bold new vision for longer, healthier living.

Book Synopsis Albert Einstein, The Human Side by : Albert Einstein
Download or read book Albert Einstein, The Human Side written by Albert Einstein and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-27 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modesty, humor, compassion, and wisdom are the traits most evident in this illuminating selection of personal papers from the Albert Einstein Archives. The illustrious physicist wrote as thoughtfully to an Ohio fifth-grader, distressed by her discovery that scientists classify humans as animals, as to a Colorado banker who asked whether Einstein believed in a personal God. Witty rhymes, an exchange with Queen Elizabeth of Belgium about fine music, and expressions of his devotion to Zionism are but some of the highlights found in this warm and enriching book.

Book Synopsis The Human Effect in Medicine by : Michael Dixon
Download or read book The Human Effect in Medicine written by Michael Dixon and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is modern medicine failing? Why is a more human approach required? This book challenges the dogma of modern technological medicine that ignores both the therapeutic effect of the doctors and the self-healing powers of the patient. It reviews the vast weight of evidence on the effectiveness of this ‘human effect’, and uses the evidence to describe how to use the human effect in everyday practice. This book is about a vision. A vision that practitioners and patients will recognise and regain their therapeutic potential. It provides a shift in perspective on what doctors can achieve. Thoroughly referenced, it is vital for general practitioners, and also very relevant to all doctors, nurses, health managers, policy makers and indeed patients. ‘Pendulums swing in most fields of life, and medicine and general practice are no exceptions. At the mid-point of the twentieth century the human side of medicine was well understood and implicitly accepted by most working practitioners. As the century progressed, the personal aspects came second (but now) the pendulum of thought has started to swing back again towards the personal.

Book Synopsis Medicine with a Human Touch by : Richard Dew
Download or read book Medicine with a Human Touch written by Richard Dew and published by . This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is good bedside manner? How do you tell patients they have a terminal illness? What do you do after you have told them? How do you deal with the family after a patient dies? How do you foster good relationships with patients, nurses and other physicians? How do you avoid burnout? Your answers to these and similar questions will prove crucial to your medical career. Yet during my seven years of medical school and residency, these issues were never mentioned, much less dealt with. Some programs are now making efforts to teach the human side of medicine, but medical training today is not much different from mine. I intended Medicine with a Human Touch to be a guide for medical students and residents in dealing with these and similar non-technical problems. Yet numerous practicing physicians who reviewed it remarked that we would all do well to reexamine periodically how we are behaving in our everyday practice.

Download or read book White Coat, Black Hat written by Carl Elliott and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2011-09-13 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By New Yorker and Atlantic writer Carl Elliott, a readable and even funny account of the serious business of medicine. A tongue-in-cheek account of the changes that have transformed medicine into big business. Physician and medical ethicist Carl Elliott tracks the new world of commercialized medicine from start to finish, introducing the professional guinea pigs, ghostwriters, thought leaders, drug reps, public relations pros, and even medical ethicists who use medicine for (sometimes huge) financial gain. Along the way, he uncovers the cost to patients lost in a health-care universe centered around consumerism.
Book Synopsis The Limits of Medicine by : Edward S. Golub
Download or read book The Limits of Medicine written by Edward S. Golub and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1997-05 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Golub, distinguished researcher and former professor of immunology, shows that major advances in medicine are caused by changes in the way scientists describe disease. Bleeding, sweating, and other treatments we consider barbaric were standard treatments for centuries because they conformed to a conception of disease shared by patients and doctors. Scientific breakthroughs in the understanding of disease in the nineteenth century transformed treatment and the goals of medicine. Golub argues that the ongoing revolution in molecular genetics has opened the door to the "biology of complexity," again transforming our view of disease. This thought-provoking, timely book reveals a crucial but overlooked role of science in medicine, and offers a new vision for the goals of both science and medicine as we enter the twenty-first century.
