Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential guide by one of America's leading doctors to how digital technology enables all of us to take charge of our health A trip to the doctor is almost a guarantee of misery. You'll make an appointment months in advance. You'll probably wait for several hours until you hear "the doctor will see you now"-but only for fifteen minutes! Then you'll wait even longer for lab tests, the results of which you'll likely never see, unless they indicate further (and more invasive) tests, most of which will probably prove unnecessary (much like physicals themselves). And your bill will be astronomical. In The Patient Will See You Now, Eric Topol, one of the nation's top physicians, shows why medicine does not have to be that way. Instead, you could use your smartphone to get rapid test results from one drop of blood, monitor your vital signs both day and night, and use an artificially intelligent algorithm to receive a diagnosis without having to see a doctor, all at a small fraction of the cost imposed by our modern healthcare system. The change is powered by what Topol calls medicine's "Gutenberg moment." Much as the printing press took learning out of the hands of a priestly class, the mobile internet is doing the same for medicine, giving us unprecedented control over our healthcare. With smartphones in hand, we are no longer beholden to an impersonal and paternalistic system in which "doctor knows best." Medicine has been digitized, Topol argues; now it will be democratized. Computers will replace physicians for many diagnostic tasks, citizen science will give rise to citizen medicine, and enormous data sets will give us new means to attack conditions that have long been incurable. Massive, open, online medicine, where diagnostics are done by Facebook-like comparisons of medical profiles, will enable real-time, real-world research on massive populations. There's no doubt the path forward will be complicated: the medical establishment will resist these changes, and digitized medicine inevitably raises serious issues surrounding privacy. Nevertheless, the result-better, cheaper, and more human health care-will be worth it. Provocative and engrossing, The Patient Will See You Now is essential reading for anyone who thinks they deserve better health care. That is, for all of us.

Download or read book Thickening Fat written by May Friedman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thickening Fat: Fat Bodies, Intersectionality, and Social Justice seeks to explore the multiple, variable, and embodied experiences of fat oppression and fat activisms. Moving beyond an analysis of fat oppression as singular, this book will aim to unpack the volatility of fat—the mutability of fat embodiments as they correlate with other embodied subjectivities, and the threshold where fat begins to be reviled, celebrated, or amended. In addition, Thickening Fat explores the full range of intersectional and liminal analyses that push beyond the simple addition of two or more subjectivities, looking instead at the complex alchemy of layered and unstable markers of difference and privilege. Cognizant that the concept of intersectionality has been filled out in a plurality of ways, Thickening Fat poses critical questions around how to render analysis of fatness intersectional and to thicken up intersectionality, where intersectionality is attenuated to the shifting and composite and material dimensions to identity, rather than reduced to an “add difference and stir” approach. The chapters in this collection ask what happens when we operationalize intersectionality in fat scholarship and politics, and we position difference at the centre and start of inquiry.

Download or read book The Explicitation Interview written by Pierre Vermersch and published by Explicitation Interview. This book was released on 2007-07 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was first published in French in 1994. It has been a training support to numerous researchers as well as practitioners, such as teachers, health workers, personal or sport trainers. Since then, it has constantly been republished and a glossary has been added in 1998. This version is the first complete edition of the book in English. The main idea of this new interview technique is to help a teacher, a supervisor or a researcher to guide the student, the practitioner or the subject to give a fine retrospective description of an action. As it is only the subject that has access to this mental or physical action, the goal is to help the subject with the verbalization, putting the implicit knowledge of this action in words. Yet, to achieve this verbalization, we need guidance, because we don't know how to give such a description ourselves. If we leave the interviewee without guidance, he risks remaining in the implicit, speaking in a general way, or in an incomplete or imprecise way, commenting instead of describing. The explicit and precise description we aim is the opposite of the implicit, meaning a fine, detailed and complete way of putting the action in words. The final aim is to elucidate what the subject did to seek his goal

Download or read book Prise en charge pharmaceutique des patients canc reux written by Brigitte Bonan and published by John Libbey Eurotext. This book was released on 2008 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les liens entre pharmaciens et médecins, hospitaliers ou libéraux, doivent se renforcer afin d'optimiser la prise en charge des patients cancéreux, réalisée largement "en dehors des murs de l'hôpital". Il est en effet nécessaire de construire l'interface ville-hôpital et de mobiliser et former les acteurs de "ville". Le progrès majeur porté par le Plan cancer a été de placer réellement le patient au coeur du dispositif et d'articuler les différentes actions en matière d'accès aux traitements et de prise en charge autour des trois principes fondamentaux: l'information du patient et son libre choix, la qualité et la sécurité des soins, une prise en charge pluridisciplinaire globale et continue. Après avoir précisé les rôles des pharmaciens hospitaliers et officinaux dans la prise en charge des patients atteints de cancer, l'ouvrage présente la sécurisation du circuit des chimiothérapies au sein des établissements hospitaliers ainsi qu'à travers l'hospitalisation à domicile. Puis, l'exemple d'un réseau régional de cancérologie est analysé avec sa mise en place, son organisation et la définition de ses missions. Les rôles et implications attendus des pharmaciens hospitaliers et officinaux dans ces réseaux ville-hôpital indiquent la nécessité d'une collaboration étroite. Les auteurs insistent enfin sur la spécificité des traitements antitumoraux par voie orale ainsi que sur les soins de support en oncologie, qui nécessitent un accompagnement et une compétence pharmaceutiques auprès des patients afin d'assurer une continuité de la qualité de leur prise en charge. Cet ouvrage, coordonné par Brigitte Bonan pharmacienne à l'hôpital européen Georges Pompidou de Paris, s'adresse à l'ensemble des pharmaciens officinaux et hospitaliers, mais aussi aux responsables des réseaux de cancérologie ou de structures d'hospitalisation à domicile.
