I have known Michael F. Bennitchi (Dr. B) for 24 years. He has always been a dreamer and has wanted to conquer the world of medicine. Although he knew money would be in medicine, it was his drive to find cures rather than cover up illness that drove and propelled him to practice day in and day out. From the first time he entered medical school and was told that doctors do not make money on healthy people, he began to question everything he was taught. He strongly believed that if a patient had a breath, he had a chance. He knew medicine and drugs were not the only answer to illness. When he found a problem, he always searched further to find the cause of the problem. He never worries; he goes by his innate, natural instinct. Unfortunately, much of his time was caught up in a constant battle with many doctors who felt that he was trying to make a name for himself. As he developed his skills, he aggressively sought to correct those doctors, whom he found to be less than professional. In every sense of the word, he has been a maverick, and always will be. He wondered why patients who were being led to their graves still followed their doctor's advice and orders. Second Opinion or Death is about Dr. B's personal experiences. It shows how strong the drug companies are, and how much influence they have in the direction medicine has taken. Second Opinion or Death is a love/hate story. Caught up in a romance with his wife, his life and his profession, the pharmaceutical companies nearly drove him to his grave. He contemplated suicide, because he lost the profession he loves most. His life was totally devastated, yet he fought back, even after being raided several times and almost destroyed by the very people who are supposed to be protecting the public. His story will make you laugh, cry and feel good, but most of all it will inform you. Regardless of what your doctor's advice is, always get a second opinion. If this troubles him, get a new doctor, because the lack of a second opinion may mean death. -Dr. Erick Hendrick

A unique insider's view of today's complex and often contentious world of medicine Anxious about the prognosis, lost in a blur of technical jargon, and fatigued from worry or pain, people who are ill are easily overwhelmed by treatment choices. Told through eight gripping clinical dramas, Second Opinions reveals the forces at play in making critical medical decisions. Dr. Jerome Groopman illuminates the world of medicine where knowledge is imperfect, no therapy is without risks, and no outcome is fully predictable. He portrays moments of astute diagnosis and misguided perception, of lifesaving triumphs and shattering failures. These real-life lessons prepare us to navigate the uncertain terrain of illness, and enable us to balance intuition and information, and thereby make the best possible decisions about our health and future.

Second Texts And Second Opinions written by Laurie Zoloth 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 2022-09-02 with categories.
This book takes as its subject the intensely private discussions that arise when ordinary people confront life and death choices and struggle with decisions in a world of medical and scientific complexity. Laurie Zoloth began her work in bioethics in a large public California hospital system, where she was part of a group tasked with the creation of an ethics committee in every hospital in the system, that would hear hundreds of cases every year, including pediatric cases from the hospital's intensive care, neonatal intensive care, burn, and oncology units. The book explores the dilemmas presented in these cases and reflects on the competing, often incommensurate moral appeals offered by the participants. It then analyzes the cases against and with similar concepts within Jewish thought, using rabbinic texts to make legible the factors at play as one makes ethical judgments. This philosophical position is feminist as it considers and at times advocates for the inclusion of family and community in the rationale of the clinical setting. Intertwined with legal statements in the Talmud are aggadot, or midrashic texts, literary narratives used to argue a point, or to complicate a point, or to deepen the meaning of the communal discourse, adding history, case studies, or fictive tales to the discussion. Zoloth argues that these texts can be usefully applied to problems in bioethics. She develops the case for a textual turn that is fully imagined and enriched by the many possible re-interpretations of narrative: biblical, rabbinic, medieval, modern, and post-modern.

Dr. Thea Sperelakis, diagnosed as a teen with Asperger's syndrome, has always been an outsider. She has a brilliant medical mind, and a remarkable recall of details, but her difficulty in dealing with hidden agendas and interpersonal conflicts have led her to leave the complex, money-driven dynamics of the hospital, and to embrace working with the poor, embattled patients of Doctors Without Borders. Her father, Petros, is one of the most celebrated internal medicine specialists in the world, and the founder of the cutting-edge Sperelakis Center for Diagnostic Medicine at Boston's sprawling, powerful Beaumont Clinic. Thea's rewarding life in Africa is turned upside-down when Petros is severely injured by a hit-and-run driver. He is in the Beaumont ICU, in a deep coma. No one thinks he will survive. Thea must return home. Two of Petros' other children, both physicians, battle Thea and her eccentric brother, Dimitri, by demanding that treatment for their father be withheld. As Thea uncovers the facts surrounding the disaster, it seems more and more to be no accident. Petros, himself, is the only witness. Who would want him dead? The answers are trapped in his brain . . . until he looks at Thea and begins slowly to blink a terrifying message. In The Second Opinion, Michael Palmer has created a cat-and-mouse game where one woman must confront a conspiracy of doctors to uncover an evil practice that touches every single person who ever has a medical test. With sympathetic characters and twists and betrayals that come from the most unlikely places, The Second Opinion will make you question...everything.
