Το Ολοκαύτωμα άρχισε με την αποπροσωποποίηση των θυμάτων και κατέληξε στην αποπροσωποποίηση των θυτών. Το ναζιστικό ιατρικό κατεστημένο ξεκίνησε με το να αποπροσωποποιεί τους ασθενείς και κατέληξε στη διάπραξη γενοκτονίας. Ένας από τους στόχους αυτού του εγχειριδίου είναι να ανα-προσωποποιήσει τόσο τους δράστες, όσο και τους θύματα. Εάν δώσουμε όνομα σε έναν γιατρό-θύτη, ένα θύμα των σκληρών διαδικασιών ή σε έναν ιατρό που ήταν αιχμάλωτος σε ναζιστικό γκέτο ή στρατόπεδο συγκέντρωσης μας, αυτό θα μας κάνει όλους να συνειδητοποιήσουμε ότι είμαστε πρωτίστως ευάλωτοι άνθρωποι, και μόνον δευτερευόντως επαγγελματίες ιατροί. Η εξατομίκευση αυτών των ιστορικών γεγονότων μας παρακινεί να κοιτάξουμε εκ νέου τους εαυτούς μας και να αναζητήσουμε μέσα μας, και μέσα στις κοινωνίες μας, το βάρος και την ευθύνη που όλοι φέρουμε για την ανθρωπότητα και για την ευημερία της ίδιας της ιατρικής. Η εξέταση των βιοηθικών ζητημάτων που συνδέονται με το Ολοκαύτωμα και της συνενοχής της γερμανικής ιατρικής προσφέρει ένα καίριο πρίσμα που μπορεί να βοηθήσει σε αυτό το δύσκολο αλλά επιτακτικό έργο.

Many of today’s learning environments are dominated by technology or procedure-driven approaches that leave learners feeling alone and disconnected. The authors of Centring Human Connections in the Education of Health Professionals argue that educational processes in the health disciplines should model, integrate, and celebrate human connections because it is these connections that will foster the development of competent and caring health professionals.Centring Human Connections in the Education of Health Professionals equips educators working in clinical, classroom, and online settings with a variety of teaching strategies that facilitate essential human connections. Included is an overview of the educational theory that grounds the authors’ thinking, enabling the educators who employ the strategies included in the book to assess their fit within curriculum requirements and personal teaching philosophies and understand how and why they work.

Contemporary health care often lacks generosity of spirit, even when treatment is most efficient. Too many patients are left unhappy with how they are treated, and too many medical professionals feel estranged from the calling that drew them to medicine. Arthur W. Frank tells the stories of ill people, doctors, and nurses who are restoring generosity to medicine-generosity toward others and to themselves. The Renewal of Generosity evokes medicine as the face-to-face encounter that comes before and after diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, and surgeries. Frank calls upon the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, philosopher Emmanuel Levinas, and literary critic Mikhail Bakhtin to reflect on stories of ill people, doctors, and nurses who transform demoralized medicine into caring relationships. He presents their stories as a source of consolation for both ill and professional alike and as an impetus to changing medical systems. Frank shows how generosity is being renewed through dialogue that is more than the exchange of information. Dialogue is an ethic and an ideal for people on both sides of the medical encounter who want to offer more to those they meet and who want their own lives enriched in the process. The Renewal of Generosity views illness and medical work with grace and compassion, making an invaluable contribution to expanding our vision of suffering and healing.

Reminiscent of Chekhov's stories, The Blood of Strangers is a visceral portrayal of a physician's encounters with the highly charged world of an emergency room. In this collection of spare and elegant stories, Dr. Frank Huyler reveals a side of medicine where small moments-the intricacy of suturing a facial wound, the bath a patient receives from her husband and daughter-interweave with the lives and deaths of the desperately sick and injured. The author presents an array of fascinating characters, both patients and doctors-a neurosurgeon who practices witchcraft, a trauma surgeon who unexpectedly commits suicide, a wounded murderer, a man chased across the New Mexico desert by a heat-seeking missile. At times surreal, at times lyrical, at times brutal and terrifying, The Blood of Strangers is a literary work that emerges from one of the most dramatic specialties of modern medicine. This deeply affecting first book has been described by one early reader as "the best doctor collection I have seen since William Carlos Williams's The Doctor Stories."

The general practitioner was once America's doctor. The GP delivered babies, removed gallbladders, and sat by the bedsides of the dying. But as the twentieth century progressed, the pattern of medical care in the United States changed dramatically. By the 1960's, the GP was almost extinct. The later part of the twentieth century, however, saw a rebirth of the idea of the GP in the form of primary care practitioners. In this engrossing collection of oral histories and provocative essays about the past and future of generalism in health care, Fitzhugh Mullan-a pediatrician, writer, and historian-argues that primary care is a fascinating, important, and still endangered calling. In conveying the personal voices of primary care practitioners, Mullan sheds light on the political and economic contradictions that confront American medicine. Mullan interviewed dozens of primary care practitioners-family physicians, internists, pediatricians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants-asking them about their lives and their work. He explains how, during the last forty years, the primary care movement has emerged built on the principles of "big doctoring"--coordinated, comprehensive care over time. This book is essential reading for understanding core issues of the current health care dilemma. As our country struggles with managed care, market reforms, and cost containment strategies in medicine, Big Doctoring in America provides an engrossing and illuminating look at those in the trenches of the profession.
