Offers an innovative plan to eliminate inequalities in American health care and save the lives they endanger Over 84,000 black and brown lives are needlessly lost each year due to health disparities: the unfair, unjust, and avoidable differences between the quality and quantity of health care provided to Americans who are members of racial and ethnic minorities and care provided to whites. Health disparities have remained stubbornly entrenched in the American health care system—and in Just Medicine Dayna Bowen Matthew finds that they principally arise from unconscious racial and ethnic biases held by physicians, institutional providers, and their patients. Implicit bias is the single most important determinant of health and health care disparities. Because we have missed this fact, the money we spend on training providers to become culturally competent, expanding wellness education programs and community health centers, and even expanding access to health insurance will have only a modest effect on reducing health disparities. We will continue to utterly fail in the effort to eradicate health disparities unless we enact strong, evidence-based legal remedies that accurately address implicit and unintentional forms of discrimination, to replace the weak, tepid, and largely irrelevant legal remedies currently available. Our continued failure to fashion an effective response that purges the effects of implicit bias from American health care, Matthew argues, is unjust and morally untenable. In this book, she unites medical, neuroscience, psychology, and sociology research on implicit bias and health disparities with her own expertise in civil rights and constitutional law. In a time when the health of the entire nation is at risk, it is essential to confront the issues keeping the health care system from providing equal treatment to all.

"The events of 2020 have made painfully clear to the American public that racism and ignorance can be deadly. However, systemic inequality can kill through means other than police violence. Indeed, systemic racism can and should be understood as the most dangerous American comorbidity, and the most significant explanation for the disproportionately high mortality rate of poor and minority populations. This book defines important terms in the language of inequality and explains how these conditions can be fatal"--

Despite the many years of research and study that have been invested towards healthcare, there are still things that escape from our knowledge and still remain to be unanswered, leaving us only with mysteries that even now are left unsolved. With hundreds and thousands of medications, various surgical procedures, and countless laboratory tests and diagnostic exams, it's safe to say that the healthcare practice has certainly evolved from the years of just boring holes into people's heads. The sophistication of healthcare isn't just about bringing new and profound ways in curing diseases and improving lives. It's also meant to establish the strong foundation of knowledge that will be later passed on to future generations which would then be continually improved upon the years of research and study. But healthcare isn't just about using science and staying in that domain forever. There are also other ways to improve the quality of life and even serve as therapeutic solutions to a number of health problems that people experience. No longer relying on medications or surgical procedures that have been tried and tested for so many years, alternative medicine has opened up new ways and possibilities when it comes to improving the health of the people. Alternative medicine has been gathering attention over the years. While modern medicine has brought us a number of drugs that can be taken to relieve us of the signs and symptoms of various health problems, there are also a number of side effects and adverse reactions that can occur. After all, medications are developed from chemicals that are considered as foreign by the body. What alternative medicine gives us is the option to pursue and utilize natural methods in achieving better health and promoting wellness away from the usual medications and surgical procedures that we are often presented with. Free from the products of artificialism, alternative medicine brings us the option of using natural and organic methods for the promotion of our health. Today, alternative medicine has a unique stance in the healthcare industry as it lies between the narrow line of being beneficial and being hoaxes. A lot of people are still quite skeptical when it comes to alternative medicine and no one can blame them since there are a lot of frauds and scams that claim to be the newest and the most effective trend in alternative medicine. Due to the influence of the media, these false alternative medicine practices are often promoted while the most basic and most effective practices are clouded with doubt and skepticism. With that said, the different alternative medicine practices in this book are proven with years of study and research to establish the truth and scientific basis towards the number of benefits that each one has. In this book, we'll be discussing more on alternative medicine, its history, its application, and the benefits that alternative medicine can bring. With the broad practice of alternative medicine, there are certainly a lot to be discussed and each one has their own benefits when it comes to our health. Grab a pen and a piece of paper and be sure to take notes along the way to learn more about alternative medicine and you might even see one that you might just be interested in.

In this original and compelling book, Jeffrey P. Bishop, a philosopher, ethicist, and physician, argues that something has gone sadly amiss in the care of the dying by contemporary medicine and in our social and political views of death, as shaped by our scientific successes and ongoing debates about euthanasia and the “right to die”—or to live. The Anticipatory Corpse: Medicine, Power, and the Care of the Dying, informed by Foucault’s genealogy of medicine and power as well as by a thorough grasp of current medical practices and medical ethics, argues that a view of people as machines in motion—people as, in effect, temporarily animated corpses with interchangeable parts—has become epistemologically normative for medicine. The dead body is subtly anticipated in our practices of exercising control over the suffering person, whether through technological mastery in the intensive care unit or through the impersonal, quasi-scientific assessments of psychological and spiritual “medicine.” The result is a kind of nihilistic attitude toward the dying, and troubling contradictions and absurdities in our practices. Wide-ranging in its examples, from organ donation rules in the United States, to ICU medicine, to “spiritual surveys,” to presidential bioethics commissions attempting to define death, and to high-profile cases such as Terri Schiavo’s, The Anticipatory Corpse explores the historical, political, and philosophical underpinnings of our care of the dying and, finally, the possibilities of change. This book is a ground-breaking work in bioethics. It will provoke thought and argument for all those engaged in medicine, philosophy, theology, and health policy.

Just Caring written by Leonard M. Fleck and has been published by Oxford University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2009 with Business & Economics categories.
What does it mean to be a "just" and "caring" society when we have only limited resources to meet unlimited health care needs? Do we believe that all lives are of equal value? Is human life priceless? Should a "just" and "caring" society refuse to put limits on health care spending? In Just Caring, Leonard Fleck reflects on the central moral and political challenges of health reform today. He cites the millions of Americans who go without health insurance, thousands of whom die prematurely, unable to afford the health care needed to save their lives. Fleck considers these deaths as contrary to our deepest social values, and makes a case for the necessity of health care rationing decisions. The core argument of this book is that no one has a moral right to impose rationing decisions on others if they are unwilling to impose those same rationing decisions on themselves in the same medical circumstances. Fleck argues we can make health care rationing fair, in ways that are mutually respectful, if we engage in honest rational democratic deliberation. Such civic engagement is rare in our society, but the alternative is endless destructive social controversy that is neither just nor caring.

A fierce, honest, elegant and often hilarious debunking of the great fallacies that drive modern medicine. By the award-winning author of The Way We Die Now. Seamus O'Mahony writes about the illusion of progress, the notion that more and more diseases can be 'conquered' ad infinitum. He punctures the idiocy of consumerism, the idea that healthcare can be endlessly adapted to the wishes of individuals. He excoriates the claims of Big Science, the spending of vast sums on research follies like the Human Genome Project. And he highlights one of the most dangerous errors of industrialized medicine: an over-reliance on metrics, and a neglect of things that can't easily be measured, like compassion. 'A deeply fascinating and rousing book' Mail on Sunday. 'What makes this book a delightful, if unsettling read, is not just O'Mahony's scholarly and witty prose, but also his brutal honesty' The Times.
