Medical Adventures in our health care system offers case histories, research, and studies highlighting the impact of our fee-for-service health care system on patients, costs, and medical care. It addresses questions such as What does your hospital actually pay for supplies and medications? Is your prescription drug record for sale? Should your doctor recommend surgery that will cure you, when it means that you will no longer need his services? Who determines what doctors and hospitals charge? Who pays? and Where does the money go? Do we have the best health care in the world?

Misadventures in Health Care: Inside Stories presents an alternative approach to attributing the cause of medical error solely to the health care provider. That alternative, the systems approach, pursues why an incident occurs in terms of factors in the context of care that affect the care provider to induce an error. The basis for this approach is the fact that an error is an act, an act is behavior, and behavior is a function of the person interacting with the environment. Eleven vignettes illustrate the importance of the systems approach by describing health care incidents from the perspective of the care providers--the perspective that can identify the factors that actually affect the provider. These stories provide general readers with opportunities to apply their knowledge in analyzing incidents to identify error-inducing factors. This book is important reading for policymakers, researchers and practitioners in law and in all medical specialties, and professionals in the social sciences, human factors, and engineering. In addition to sensitizing the reader to the importance of contextual factors in error, Misadventures in Health Care is a case study reference to supplement texts in professional schools such as law and medicine, as well as the full range of academic disciplines. It also is important reading for the general public because it presents an approach for addressing a very pressing social problem-- that of misadventures in health care.

•A memoir looking at the ups and downs of a doctor’s life. •A ‘warts and all’ examination of the NHS through the last 50 years. •The book also looks at the looming crisis in the NHS when the number of doctors will dramatically fall. Alistair Fraser-Moodie believes he was probably born into medicine. His mother was a general practitioner working from home, his father was a surgeon & also a dentist. Following his ‘destiny’ he started training as a doctor. He recalls 5 years at medical school learning very little about medicine, but a lot about girls, alcohol and sport. Now after 54 years as a doctor, and having recently retired, Alistair has written about his personal journey through the highs and lows of the medical profession. Alistair had many different jobs within the NHS and for a while was a plastic surgeon. But in 1978 he was appointed a single-handed emergency casualty consultant in Derby, a position that is now shared between 16 people. He remained there until 2007. During this time he became an expert in ‘Road Traffic Accidents’ and made many court appearances as an Expert Witness. He writes about many of medical misadventures, dilemmas and curious cases that occurred while in the A&E. Alistair also lays bare the medical problems attributable to, and suffered by, the doctors themselves. He looks at the incredible stress that doctors have to suffer. And many of the problems of the health system which have been made worse by government policies. How sick is the NHS? Well read this uncensored account of a lifetime in the NHS which is both true and for adults only. If you read this book cover to cover then you will see why the NHS is in the mess it is in.Only then, he would maintain, can drastic action be taken.

This edited collection of articles addresses aspects of medical care in which human error is associated with unanticipated adverse outcomes. For the purposes of this book, human error encompasses mismanagement of medical care due to: * inadequacies or ambiguity in the design of a medical device or institutional setting for the delivery of medical care; * inappropriate responses to antagonistic environmental conditions such as crowding and excessive clutter in institutional settings, extremes in weather, or lack of power and water in a home or field setting; * cognitive errors of omission and commission precipitated by inadequate information and/or situational factors -- stress, fatigue, excessive cognitive workload. The first to address the subject of human error in medicine, this book considers the topic from a problem oriented, systems perspective; that is, human error is considered not as the source of the problem, but as a flag indicating that a problem exists. The focus is on the identification of the factors within the system in which an error occurs that contribute to the problem of human error. As those factors are identified, efforts to alleviate them can be instituted and reduce the likelihood of error in medical care. Human error occurs in all aspects of human activity and can have particularly grave consequences when it occurs in medicine. Nearly everyone at some point in life will be the recipient of medical care and has the possibility of experiencing the consequences of medical error. The consideration of human error in medicine is important because of the number of people that are affected, the problems incurred by such error, and the societal impact of such problems. The cost of those consequences to the individuals involved in medical error, both in the health care providers' concern and the patients' emotional and physical pain, the cost of care to alleviate the consequences of the error, and the cost to society in dollars and in lost personal contributions, mandates consideration of ways to reduce the likelihood of human error in medicine. The chapters were written by leaders in a variety of fields, including psychology, medicine, engineering, cognitive science, human factors, gerontology, and nursing. Their experience was gained through actual hands-on provision of medical care and/or research into factors contributing to error in such care. Because of the experience of the chapter authors, their systematic consideration of the issues in this book affords the reader an insightful, applied approach to human error in medicine -- an approach fortified by academic discipline.

Your Rights To be Well is my journey of joy, pain, fun, magic, of learning to be empowered and well. As I progressed I came to understand that we are whole physical, mental, emotional, spiritual beings and not just a sum of our parts. I learned that each of us has an internal bio-feedback system that never lies and the importance of listening, honoring and trusting the information this system provides regardless of what I am told. Empowerment and wellness happened over a period of years as my research and beliefs changed my focus from allopathic to alternative/complementary medicine and treatments, modalities and professionals that resonated with what was right for me personally. Learning about your bio-feedback system could be the greatest gift you can give yourself. It is my hope that this book will resonate with you and provide you with the incentive to start your journey to empowerment and well-being To The Reader: Much of the book was co-created with M E working with her team. M E was only allowed to have it edited once. There were many changes after the editing which would have affected the energy of the book had it been edited further. Grammar and spelling are not important to us, only the content and message. The errors are ours. Enjoy the message. M E's Team

Medical Misadventures is a glimpse behind the curtain, exposing the torments of a doctor when things don't go as expected. The consequences are often humorous, sometimes embarrassing, and occasionally downright humiliating. I have experienced them all! But sometimes fortune smiles, the stars align and our prayers are answered. Those are the miraculous events that medical science cannot explain. They remind us that the art of medicine is still important and that hope is never extinguished. Today I said good-bye to my genie. "We have been inseparable for over fifty years," I said, "but the time has come to part ways. You have bedeviled my life for too long. Granted, at times you have exposed my flaws and I have benefited. And it is true that you have also shown me wonders that I thought impossible. But you have embarrassed and humiliated me too often. I have retired from medicine and I no longer need you. You must leave me and torment someone else." "Not so!" he retorted, "my mission is not over; you will never be rid of me; I will plague you in your dreams and in your pensive moments. I have much yet to teach you and you have no choice but to listen." So my genie lives on, perched on my shoulder, waiting for my unguarded moments. He invades my dreams, deflates my pride, reminds me of events I would prefer to forget.

Human Rights and Healthcare looks at medical law from a human rights perspective. Almost all issues traditionally taught under a "medical law" label have significant human rights issues inherent within them. This book is unique in bringing those human rights implications to the fore. The rights at issue include established fundamental rights such as the right to life; the right to respect for a private life; and the right to physical integrity, as well as more controversial "rights" such as a "right to reproduce" and a "right to die". The human rights perspective of this book enables new light to be cast upon familiar medico-legal cases and issues. As such the book provides a genuine merging of human rights law and medical law and will be of value to all students and academics studying medical law, as well as to those interested in the broader issues raised by the growing human rights culture within the UK and worldwide.
