Empathy and the Practice of Medicine: Beyond Pills and the Scalpel
ISBN: 9780300066708 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The treatment of medical illness today depends much more on science and technology than on the physician's ability to listen, comfort, and prescribe. Medicine is not only increasingly technical but is also increasingly involved with legal, governmental, and insurance constraints on patient care, and this state of affairs has done much to distance physicians from their patients. This important book seeks to restore empathy to medical practice, to demonstrate how important it is for doctors to listen to their patients, to experience and understand what their patients are feeling. The book-a...

When Doctors Get Sick
ISBN: 9780306426537 / Angielski / Twarda / 1987 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. When a doctor gets sick, his status changes. No longer is his role de fined as deriving from doctus, i. e., learned, but as from patiens, the present participle of the deponent verb, patior, i. e., to suffer, with all the passive acceptance of pain the verb implies. From pass us, the past participle, we get the word passion, with its wide gamut of emotional allusions, ranging from animal lust to the sufferings of martyrs. It is the connotation, not the denotation, of the word that defines the change of status. When a doctor is sick enough to be admitted to a hospital, he can no longer write...
