Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller/Washington Post Notable Book of 2017/NPR Best Books of 2017/Wall Street Journal Best Books of 2017 "This book will serve as the definitive guide to the past and future of health care in America.”—Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies and The Gene At a moment of drastic political upheaval, An American Sickness is a shocking investigation into our dysfunctional healthcare system - and offers practical solutions to its myriad problems. In these troubled times, perhaps no institution has unraveled more quickly and more completely than American medicine. In only a few decades, the medical system has been overrun by organizations seeking to exploit for profit the trust that vulnerable and sick Americans place in their healthcare. Our politicians have proven themselves either unwilling or incapable of reining in the increasingly outrageous costs faced by patients, and market-based solutions only seem to funnel larger and larger sums of our money into the hands of corporations. Impossibly high insurance premiums and inexplicably large bills have become facts of life; fatalism has set in. Very quickly Americans have been made to accept paying more for less. How did things get so bad so fast? Breaking down this monolithic business into the individual industries—the hospitals, doctors, insurance companies, and drug manufacturers—that together constitute our healthcare system, Rosenthal exposes the recent evolution of American medicine as never before. How did healthcare, the caring endeavor, become healthcare, the highly profitable industry? Hospital systems, which are managed by business executives, behave like predatory lenders, hounding patients and seizing their homes. Research charities are in bed with big pharmaceutical companies, which surreptitiously profit from the donations made by working people. Patients receive bills in code, from entrepreneurial doctors they never even saw. The system is in tatters, but we can fight back. Dr. Elisabeth Rosenthal doesn't just explain the symptoms, she diagnoses and treats the disease itself. In clear and practical terms, she spells out exactly how to decode medical doublespeak, avoid the pitfalls of the pharmaceuticals racket, and get the care you and your family deserve. She takes you inside the doctor-patient relationship and to hospital C-suites, explaining step-by-step the workings of a system badly lacking transparency. This is about what we can do, as individual patients, both to navigate the maze that is American healthcare and also to demand far-reaching reform. An American Sickness is the frontline defense against a healthcare system that no longer has our well-being at heart.

Download or read book Not Just in Sickness But Also in Health written by Jeff Margolis and published by Forbesbooks. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MAKE A VOW TO GOOD HEALTH How much time each year do you spend interacting with a doctor, pharmacist, or other clinician? Not much, right? In fact, a vast majority of people spend less than 1 percent of their time--usually far less--in clinical settings or interactions. Furthermore, clinical care affects only 30 percent of our overall health status, so why do we fail to acknowledge the drivers of the other 70 percent? We deserve a healthcare system that systematically supports our daily living needs where we spend over 99 percent of our time as a complement to clinical care. It is our daily living activities related to such things as nutrition, fitness, resiliency, sleep, relationships, finances, and purpose--as impacted by social determinants--that make up the vast majority of what determines our total well-being. Not Just in Sickness but Also in Health details how we can create the next generation of benefit plans, including an intelligent ecosystem of personalized resources, capable of supporting how each person can achieve and sustain their optimal health. Drawing on his decades of experience, Margolis explains how existing healthcare industry players, government policymakers, and technology companies can enact a systematic healthcare consumer-centric approach to accomplish these aims, and move the United States and the world from a system of sickcare to one of health optimization for all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite significant improvements in many health outcomes over the past 60 years, many chronic problems in Indonesia’s health system including financial sustainability, governance and inequities in accessing health care have long been apparent, even before the COVID-19 pandemic. The epidemiological transition associated with demographic and socioeconomic change in recent decades makes Indonesia one of many countries that still struggle to address the issues of communicable, maternal and nutritional diseases while facing an increasing burden of non-communicable diseases. The contributors to In Sickness and In Health: Diagnosing Indonesia investigate challenges and opportunities facing the Indonesian health system and assess hurdles that Indonesians have to navigate in their quest to achieve a longer and better quality of life. Politics shaping recent health policy reforms in Indonesia, barriers to the supply of specialist doctors and quality medicines, availability of accurate health and population data, and the financial toll of the COVID-19 pandemic are among the topics discussed in this book. Accessing essential health services for mothers and children and for those living with disability, discrimination and mental illness, as well as an innovative trial to control dengue, are also examined.

Download or read book In Sickness and in Health written by Stephen Zehr and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steve Zehr felt life couldn’t get any better when, at age twenty-five, he married a beautiful redheaded actress and model. As part of their marriage vows May 28, 1982, he and Susan promised to stay together in sickness and in health. Of course, they meant those words, but the author never imagined that promise would be tested so fully. Several years into their marriage, it became clear that Susan was suffering from psychological problems. Making matters worse, she was afflicted during a time when admitting you suffered from mental illness was a stigma. Over the next many years, the author would find himself stretched to the limit as a father, husband, and even as a believer in God. At times, the burden simply seemed more than he could handle. But God demonstrated His incredible faithfulness and strength to the author over and over, day after day, month after month, year after year. This is one man’s story of how he believes God directed, sustained, strengthened, and supplied him with what he needed to care for his wife—as well as the toll it took on them both.

Download or read book In Sickness and in Health written by Ben Mattlin and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A frank, humorous exploration of interabled dating, love, and marriage Ben Mattlin’s wife, ML, recalls falling in love with his confidence and sheer determination. On one of their earliest dates, he persuaded her to ride on his lap in his wheelchair on their way home from an Elvis Costello concert. Thirty years later, they still travel like this from time to time, undaunted by the curious stares following them down the street. But In Sickness and in Health is more than an “inspiring” story of how a man born with spinal muscular atrophy—a congenital and incurable neuromuscular condition—survived childhood, graduated from Harvard, married an able-bodied woman, built a family with two daughters and a cat and a turtle, established a successful career in journalism, and lived happily ever after. As Mattlin considers the many times his relationship has been met with surprise or speculation by outsiders—those who consider his wife a “saint” or him just plain “lucky” for finding love—he issues a challenge to readers: why should the idea of an “interabled” couple be regarded as either tragic or noble? Through conversations with more than a dozen other couples of varying abilities, ethnic backgrounds, and orientations, Mattlin sets out to understand whether these pairings are as unusual as onlookers seem to think. Reflecting on his own experience he wonders: How do people balance the stresses of personal-care help with the thrill of romance? Is it possible that the very things that appear to be insurmountable obstacles to a successful relationship—the financial burdens, the physical differences, the added element of an especially uncertain future—could be the building blocks of an enviable level of intimacy and communication that other couples could only dream of? We meet Shane Burcaw, a twenty-three-year-old writer, who offers a glimpse of his first forays into dating with a disability. There’s Rachelle Friedman, the “paralyzed bride,” as the media refers to her, and her husband, discussing the joys and challenges of a new marriage and a growing family. And Christina Crosby and her partner, Janet Jakobsen, reflect on how Crosby’s disabling accident called for them to renegotiate their roles and expectations in their long-term relationship. What emerges is a candid glimpse into the challenges and joys of interabled love—from the first blush of sexual awakening to commitment and marriage and through to widowhood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you ever think of going on a vacation with no idea of where you were going or how long you’d be away—not preparing, not packing, not bringing anything with you? Then, while you’re on this vacation, you don’t know where you are, you’re not sure how you got there, you can’t find a path to follow, and the route ahead is pure fog. You have no idea of where you’re headed, and all you know is that you need to take one step after another just to keep on going. In Sickness and in Health documents such a journey, the author’s personal journey, taken from his wife’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis until her death. As the disease progressed, the realities of daily life changed as Alzheimer’s stole his wife’s ability to function, her ability to communicate, her personality, and much more. But, while much of the focus is on Beth’s deteriorating condition, this memoir also offers insight into the toll that Alzheimer’s and, by extension, any terminal illness, takes on caregivers and survivors. The emotional roller coaster can be dramatic and can persist well past the death of the patient. But readers are also offered some practical advice about housekeeping items—finances, legal affairs, and considerations around care—each of which must be thought through for both the short and long term. Written from the heart, In Sickness and in Health offers solace to those who have lost someone to Alzheimer’s or other terminal illnesses and assures them that they can get through this most painful time in their lives. It offers a glimpse into a world that we all too often go out of our way to avoid—and some suggestion for navigating it with a little less bewilderment when we can evade it no longer.

Download or read book HEALTH IN SICKNESS SICKNESS IN HEALTH written by Pierre Morin and published by Deep Democracy Exchange. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Health-in-Sickness, Pierre Morin suggests that the classical approach to defining illness and health not only lacks the elixir perspective on disturbances, an approach that is suggested by alternative medicine, but in fact, also has an “opposite placebo” effect, in creating a sense of being victimized and at fault for having the symptom. His book contains many practical examples and is useful to both health practitioners as well as patients. First and foremost, it begins a long overdue conversation about the very concepts of health and sickness, and what is considered to be “normal.” Morin's book is an important contribution to the broad transdisciplinary discussions regarding individual and collective well-being.
