Dr. Golem: How to Think about Medicine
ISBN: 9780226113678 / Angielski / Miękka / 246 str.

Collaborative Health Care: A Family-Oriented Model
ISBN: 9780275923198 / Angielski / Twarda / 235 str. Within the medical professions, the notion of the family as the basic unit of medical care has attracted a wide following, especially from physicians committed to a psychosocial orientation.

Fundamental to this view is the conviction that one cannot understand a patient's illness without knowing the social, emotional, and biological context in which he or she lives. In addition, the author provides a much-needed examination of the rationale for instituting this...

When Doctors Get Sick
ISBN: 9780306426537 / Angielski / Twarda / 464 str. 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...
