Book excerpt: On Call is an autobiography of J. Lottman, a female surgeon that she hopes will inspire other male and female surgeons to consider becoming rural surgeons. There aren’t many rural surgeons around, making this an uncommon autobiography and practice. It spans a thirty-year practice from 1981 to 2011, after her schooling and training. Dr. Lottmann explains the distinctiveness of a rural surgery practice and how it differs from an urban practice. She explains the scope of general surgery and her surgical caseload changes over those thirty years. Advanced surgical techniques for rural surgeons have significantly changed since she began her career. Although there has been significant medical advancement, a rural surgeon can find it challenging to offer the most up-to-date procedures in a small rural hospital due to the cost of the equipment. On Call will take you through Dr. Lottman’s training, practice, and some of her most memorable cases, challenges, and triumphs. She also shares the unique challenges of female surgeons as they navigate marriage and motherhood and being a surgeon—frequently, the only one in town. Dr. Lottmann hopes her autobiography will encourage medical students to pursue a career in rural surgery because there is a great need for them in this country.

Download or read book Appropriate Use of Advanced Technologies for Radiation Therapy and Surgery in Oncology written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-04-16 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the field of oncology has witnessed a number of technological advances, including more precise radiation therapy and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Three-dimensional (3D), stereotactic, and proton-beam radiation therapy, as well as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, can enhance clinician's ability to treat conditions that were clinically challenging with conventional technologies, and may improve clinical outcomes or reduce treatment-related problems for some patients. Both patients and physicians seek access to these new technologies, which are rapidly being adopted into standard clinical practice. Such demand is often propelled by marketing that portrays the new technologies as the "latest and greatest" treatments available. However, evidence is often lacking to support these claims, and these novel technologies usually come with higher price tags and are often used to treat patients who might have achieved similar benefits from less expensive, conventional treatment. The increased cost of novel treatments without adequate assessment of how they affect patient outcomes is a pressing concern given that inappropriate use of expensive technologies is one of the key factors that threaten the affordability of cancer care in the United States. To explore these issues further, the National Cancer Policy Forum (NCPF) of the Institute of Medicine organized a workshop in July 2015. This is the third NCPF workshop in a series examining the affordability of cancer care. Participants explored clinical benefits and comparative effectiveness of emerging advanced technologies for cancer treatment in radiation therapy and surgery and potential strategies to assess the value and promote optimal use of new technologies in cancer treatment. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
