Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nashville Journal of Medicine and Surgery, Vol. 108: September, 1914 Case 1 girl of 20 years was referred by Dr. Watkins and Dr. Stavely because of recurrences of right iliac pain with nausea and vomiting, but with normal temperature and pulse, since three months. Two months before, the appendix had been removed for similar symptoms, and found little changed, though contain ing a concretion of lime. At the time, the ovaries and gallbladder were found normal. The pains recurred every few days and lasted some hours, and were relieved by morphine or the Scotch douch. Examination showed only a psychogenic hyperesthesia in the right iliac fossa, controllable by indirect suggestion. Some colonic atonia, a slight retroversion and intestinal sand could not explain a manifestly psychogenic tenderness. So, after a few days, Dr. Watkins, armed by conviction derived from the consul tation, entered the fray, and after a struggle of nearly two hours convinced the young woman that determination to conquer a longing for the comforting and anodynes which sickness brings would cure her. She went back to Illinois next day, and remains well. Such rapid success is not common. The following similar case illustrates the need of persistence in persuasion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nashville Journal of Medicine and Surgery, Vol. 108: March, 1914 It is necessary at this time to say a word in behalf of medical treatment. The successes of surgery are so brilliant that many of us are inclined to think that we must look to surgery in cases where we should be more conservative. The tendency at the present time is to operate upon too many cases of exophthalmic goitre. When one comes to look into this matter, he finds that there is some very interesting information to be had upon this point. F orcheimer has advocated the medical treatment of goitre, and reports having treated seventy-six cases with almost uniform success, and not a death in the series. The only death he had seen resulted from thyroid feeding. In like manner, Jackson and Mead treated a series of eighty five 'cases with but three deaths (only one under their own care). Baker reports a series of fifty cases, of which forty-four were alive eight years from the first record. Of the six deaths, none occurred from exophthalmic goitre or any of its complications.

Download or read book Medical Apartheid written by Harriet A. Washington and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2008-01-08 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER • The first full history of Black America’s shocking mistreatment as unwilling and unwitting experimental subjects at the hands of the medical establishment. No one concerned with issues of public health and racial justice can afford not to read this masterful book. "[Washington] has unearthed a shocking amount of information and shaped it into a riveting, carefully documented book." —New York Times From the era of slavery to the present day, starting with the earliest encounters between Black Americans and Western medical researchers and the racist pseudoscience that resulted, Medical Apartheid details the ways both slaves and freedmen were used in hospitals for experiments conducted without their knowledge—a tradition that continues today within some black populations. It reveals how Blacks have historically been prey to grave-robbing as well as unauthorized autopsies and dissections. Moving into the twentieth century, it shows how the pseudoscience of eugenics and social Darwinism was used to justify experimental exploitation and shoddy medical treatment of Blacks. Shocking new details about the government’s notorious Tuskegee experiment are revealed, as are similar, less-well-known medical atrocities conducted by the government, the armed forces, prisons, and private institutions. The product of years of prodigious research into medical journals and experimental reports long undisturbed, Medical Apartheid reveals the hidden underbelly of scientific research and makes possible, for the first time, an understanding of the roots of the African American health deficit. At last, it provides the fullest possible context for comprehending the behavioral fallout that has caused Black Americans to view researchers—and indeed the whole medical establishment—with such deep distrust.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nashville Journal of Medicine and Surgery, Vol. 108: April, 1914 Finally, Faraday, Tyndall, and other noted authors, concluded that light must be a wave motion, and not the projection of in visible foreign bodies. They asserted that light, heat and electric currents were simply forms of motion, which differed in vibra tion, wave length and velocity, and their effects on objects were transformations into heat, light, and other manifestations. The suns rays coming into the earth's atmosphere become trans formed into heat, into electricity and different forms of motion. This theory is now accepted and gives the clearest explanation of these various agencies, and is supported by an increasing mass of facts and observations. Thus the light waves from the sun do not reach the earth, but in passing through the atmosphere of the earth, break up into heat, electric currents and other unknown agencies. The atmosphere of the earth is a mass of invisible particles and molecules which are thrown into intense vibration by the light of the sun. This forms heat, and clouds and vapor are generated with electric currents. Meteorology is a study of this vibratory activity of heat, vapor electrical currents and their incessant movement.

Download or read book Crossing the Quality Chasm written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-07-19 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second in a series of publications from the Institute of Medicine's Quality of Health Care in America project Today's health care providers have more research findings and more technology available to them than ever before. Yet recent reports have raised serious doubts about the quality of health care in America. Crossing the Quality Chasm makes an urgent call for fundamental change to close the quality gap. This book recommends a sweeping redesign of the American health care system and provides overarching principles for specific direction for policymakers, health care leaders, clinicians, regulators, purchasers, and others. In this comprehensive volume the committee offers: A set of performance expectations for the 21st century health care system. A set of 10 new rules to guide patient-clinician relationships. A suggested organizing framework to better align the incentives inherent in payment and accountability with improvements in quality. Key steps to promote evidence-based practice and strengthen clinical information systems. Analyzing health care organizations as complex systems, Crossing the Quality Chasm also documents the causes of the quality gap, identifies current practices that impede quality care, and explores how systems approaches can be used to implement change.
Download or read book When Abortion Was a Crime written by Leslie J. Reagan and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive history of abortion in the United States, with a new preface that equips readers for what’s to come. When Abortion Was a Crime is the must-read book on abortion history. Originally published ahead of the thirtieth anniversary of Roe v. Wade, this award-winning study was the first to examine the entire period during which abortion was illegal in the United States, beginning in the mid-nineteenth century and ending with that monumental case in 1973. When Abortion Was a Crime is filled with intimate stories and nuanced analysis, demonstrating how abortion was criminalized and policed—and how millions of women sought abortions regardless of the law. With this edition, Leslie J. Reagan provides a new preface that addresses the dangerous and ongoing threats to abortion access across the country, and the precarity of our current moment. While abortions have typically been portrayed as grim "back alley" operations, this deeply researched history confirms that many abortion providers—including physicians—practiced openly and safely, despite prohibitions by the state and the American Medical Association. Women could find cooperative and reliable practitioners; but prosecution, public humiliation, loss of privacy, and inferior medical care were a constant threat. Reagan's analysis of previously untapped sources, including inquest records and trial transcripts, shows the fragility of patient rights and raises provocative questions about the relationship between medicine and law. With the right to abortion increasingly under attack, this book remains the definitive history of abortion in the United States, offering vital lessons for every American concerned with health care, civil liberties, and personal and sexual freedom.

Download or read book A Patriot s History of the United States written by Larry Schweikart and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-12-29 with total page 1373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
