Download or read book From Detached Concern to Empathy written by M.D., Ph.D. Jodi Halpern and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-05-10 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physicians recognize the importance of patients' emotions in healing yet believe their own emotional responses represent lapses in objectivity. Patients complain that physicians are too detached. Halpern argues that by empathizing with patients, rather than detaching, physicians can best help them. Yet there is no consistent view of what, precisely, clinical empathy involves. This book challenges the traditional assumption that empathy is either purely intellectual or an expression of sympathy. Sympathy, according to many physicians, involves over-identifying with patients, threatening objectivity and respect for patient autonomy. How can doctors use empathy in diagnosing and treating patients rithout jeopardizing objectivity or projecting their values onto patients? Jodi Halpern, a psychiatrist, medical ethicist and philosopher, develops a groundbreaking account of emotional reasoning as the core of clinical empathy. She argues that empathy cannot be based on detached reasoning because it involves emotional skills, including associating with another person's images and spontaneously following another's mood shifts. Yet she argues that these emotional links need not lead to over-identifying with patients or other lapses in rationality but rather can inform medical judgement in ways that detached reasoning cannot. For reflective physicians and discerning patients, this book provides a road map for cultivating empathy in medical practice. For a more general audience, it addresses a basic human question: how can one person's emotions lead to an understanding of how another person is feeling?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Medical science has always promised -- and often delivered -- a longer, better life. But as the pace of science accelerates, do our expectations become unreasonable, fueled by an industry bent on profits and a media desperate for big news?Hope or Hype is a taboo-shattering look at what drives the American obsession with medical "miracles," exposing the equipment manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies; doctors and hospitals too quick to order surgery; the politicians; the press; and our own "technoconsumption" mindset. The authors spread blame for the parade of so-called miracle cures that too often are marginally effective at best -- and sometimes downright dangerous. They examine consumers? eager embrace of medical advances, and present riveting stories of the conscientious doctors and researchers who blew the whistle on ineffective treatments. Finally, they provide sane, practical recommendations for the adoption of new developments. The consequences of questionable practices include costly recalls, billions in wasted money, and the pain and suffering of innumerable patients and their families. In short, they must stop.

Download or read book Direct to Consumer Advertising and Insurers Spending Control Mechanisms for Prescription Drugs written by Courtney Yarbrough and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous studies have examined the effects of direct-to-consumer advertising (DTC) on patient and physician behaviors; however, none has focused on the relationship between DTC and insurance benefit design. In this study, we explored the impact of DTC advertising on the cost control behaviors of private firms supplying insurance in the Medicare Part D program. We used data from the IMS National Prescription Drug Promotions database and formulary information from Medicare Part D prescription drug plans from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to study the relationship between DTC spending and formulary tier placement, using an instrumental variables estimator to control for the endogeneity of DTC spending. Our results suggest that direct-to-consumer advertising puts pressure on insurers for more favorable formulary placement. Television direct-to-consumer advertising and other measures of manufacturer market power had a significant and negative effect on the likelihood of a branded drug being classified as nonpreferred in formularies. Similarly, we found that when insurers had more market power, branded drugs were more likely to be placed in a nonpreferred formulary tier. We hypothesize that consumers play an important mediating role in the relationship between DTC advertising and insurance coverage for drugs.

Download or read book The Future of Drug Safety written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-02-27 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of publicity and congressional attention to drug safety issues, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requested the Institute of Medicine assess the drug safety system. The committee reported that a lack of clear regulatory authority, chronic underfunding, organizational problems, and a scarcity of post-approval data about drugs' risks and benefits have hampered the FDA's ability to evaluate and address the safety of prescription drugs after they have reached the market. Noting that resources and therefore efforts to monitor medications' riskâ€"benefit profiles taper off after approval, The Future of Drug Safety offers a broad set of recommendations to ensure that consideration of safety extends from before product approval through the entire time the product is marketed and used.
Download or read book Overdosed America written by John Abramson and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2005-06-14 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the examples of Vioxx, Celebrex, cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, and anti-depressants, Overdo$ed America shows that at the heart of the current crisis in American medicine lies the commercialization of medical knowledge itself. Drawing on his background in statistics, epidemiology, and health policy, John Abramson, M.D., an award-winning family doctor on the clinical faculty at Harvard Medical School, reveals the ways in which the drug companies have misrepresented statistical evidence, misled doctors, and compromised our health. The good news is that the best scientific evidence shows that reclaiming responsibility for your own health is often far more effective than taking the latest blockbuster drug. You -- and your doctor -- will be stunned by this unflinching exposé of American medicine.
Download or read book The Effects of Direct to Consumer Advertising in the Prescription Drug Markets written by Toshiaki Iizuka and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year of 1997 witnessed an important change in direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising of prescription drugs. For the first time, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) permitted brand-specific DTC ads on TV without a "brief summary" of comprehensive risk information. This led to a three-fold growth of DTC advertising expenditure in four years, followed by an intensive debate about the effects of DTC advertising on patient and doctor behaviors. This paper empirically examines the effects of DTC ads on ethical drugs by combining 1996-1999 DTC advertising data with the annual National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS). We find that DTC advertising leads to a large increase in the number of outpatient drug visits, a moderate increase in the time spent with doctors, but no effect on doctors' specific choice among prescription drugs within a therapeutic class. Consistent with the proponents' claim, this finding suggests that DTC ads encourage patient visits but do not challenge doctors' authority in the specific choice of prescription drugs. We cannot rule out the possibilities, however, that DTC ads may induce doctors to use prescription drugs over alternative treatments and doctors may spend extra time clarifying DTC ads if they do not prescribe the most advertised drug(s). Our results suggest that the effect of DTC advertising is primarily market-expanding rather than business-stealing, and therefore DTC advertising is a public good for all drugs in the same therapeutic class.

Download or read book Hooked written by Howard Brody and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2007 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, medical professionals have betrayed the public's trust by accepting various benefits from the pharmaceutical industry. Both drug company representatives and doctors employ artful spin to portray this behavior positively to the public, and to themselves. In Hooked, Howard Brody argues that we can neither understand the problem, nor propose helpful solutions until we identify the many levels of activity connecting these purportedly noble industries. We can pass laws and enact regulations, but ultimately the medical profession must take responsibility for its own integrity. Hooked is a wake-up call for anyone expecting high quality, ethical medical care.
