A Call to Action $2.82 Is our healthcare system really in crisis? That’s a question Hank McKinnell one of the world’s most influential coporate leaders encounters every day. His answer may surprise you. While McKinnell agrees that there is a crisis, he doesn’t think the problem is with healthcare –rather, he asserts the crisis is in sick-care. Healthcare systems around the world, McKinnell argues, are focused on sickness and its management rather than health. As a result, dialogue about how to sustain health now takes a back seat to arguments about cost–containing it, avoiding it, or shifting it to someone else. The result? A near-universal belief that healthcare is becoming unaffordable, fragmented, and impersonal. Focusing only on the cost of care is looking at the healthcare problem though the worong end of the telescope, says McKinnell, the chairman and CEO of Pfizer. The real focus should be on the horrific cost of disease. In America, the sick-care system delivers the world’s most sophisticated procedures, while skimping on vaccines, hampering the fight against AIDS, and intruding into one of life’s most personal relationships – doctor and patient.Groundbreaking and provocative, A Call to Action, reframes the dialogue on healthcare and offers people a way out of the zero-sum, win-or-lose game they now encounter. Distilling more than 30 years of experience in global healthcare, McKinnell provides concrete action steps to build cost-effective, inclusive healthcare that he believes can extend millions of lives and save billions of dollars over the next generation. He addresses: A new, prevention-based approach to employee healthcare Why pharmaceutical companies have lost trust, andwhat they must do to regain itWhy Americans pay more for prescription drugs than people in Canada and Europe How competition can spur the healthcare industry to improve services and contain pricesHow new technologies can reduce medical errors and improve the dialogues between patient and doc |

A Doctor Looks at War $12.06 What would you do if you were sent from all that comforts you into the unknowns of a raging battlefield? In his new book, A Doctor Looks at War, author Michael C. Hodges, M.D., chronicles his experience in an army combat support hospital during the initial year of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He describes in colorful detail the healthcare treatment of wounded soldiers as well as the Iraqi prisoners and civilians. Written in the form of a journal, his raw emotions are on display-ranging from fear to anger, joy to frustration, and finally, acceptance. In a progressive fashion he is stretched to the limits of endurance and faces physical and emotional hardships when forced to venture outside the limits of his training as a cardiologist. Throughout, he grows in faith, compassion and skill as a physician and learns to fully rely on God. The medical and human perspectives from Iraq are both intriguing and refreshing as A Doctor Looks At War. |

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Operating Room $8.79 Do doctors ever have fun while actively practicing medicine? I don”t mean the fun they have while playing golf or fishing or boating or traveling on their time off. I mean when they are involved with patients who are ill or when they are med students learning how to handle such patients. .From those patients who can”t tell right from left to those who swallow kumquats whole; from those who pester their doctors about their bronchial (aargh!)conditions, to those who call at three a.m to say, Doctor, I was just lying here wondering., these true episodes cover the gamut.My book, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the O.R., is a collection of stories that takes the reader from medical school through surgical training, into private practice, and to the day of my retirement as Medical Director. These stories are amusing and at times poignant, as well as personally revealing. |

A Sky Black with Crows $5.42 A compelling adventure story! In the early 20th century, an English doctor exposed the desperation of the people of the outports of Newfoundland and Labrador. The doctor’s name Wilfred Grenfell soon became synonymous with one of the greatest missions to the poverty-stricken in North America. The Grenfell mission was the early headquarters for the doctor’s work. Thousands of fishermen and their families had no access to medical care, despite the harsh conditions of the fishery and life along the north Atlantic shores.This book dramatizes this time and place and the Grenfell cause, through the story of a feisty teenager, Katie Andrew, whose family fishes the Labrador waters each summer. It’s the spring of 1913 and Katie and her family join her father in the settlement of Fox’s Cove. The fishing life is tough and demanding, and as autumn draws near, Katie’s father is lost at sea. Katie’s mother stubbornly refuses to leave the outpost, and waits for him to return even when all hope is lost. The tragedy is compounded when Katie’s entire family falls ill and her mother dies. Katie awakens after her illness in the orphanage run by the Grenfell mission. She’s relieved that one of her sisters has been saved with her, but is devastated by the disappearance of her youngest sister, who has been adopted by a well-to-do photographer and his family.The loss of her sister marks the beginning of Katie’s journey and the trigger for a compelling adventure story. It’s a story that takes the girl through a series of events that are as vital to her search for her sister as they are insightful of the history of the Atlantic region at a time when Canada was about to make its early mark on theworld.Alice Walsh conveys a gritty sense of life in the outports and in the city of Halifax, where Katie continues her hunt for her sister. There’s an authentic feel to the details of life in Labrador, in the face of such overwhelming odds. |

[front flap] A Tale of Two Goats Tom Barber Illustrated by Rosalind Beardshaw Farmer Cole is afraid that Farmer Jones’ goat is eating up all his vegetables.

Better: A Surgeon’s Notes on Performance $24 From the Publisher The New York Times bestselling author of Complications examines, in riveting accounts of medical failure and triumph, how success is achieved in a complex and risk-filled profession. The struggle to perform well is universal: each one of us faces fatigue, limited resources, and imperfect abilities in whatever we do. But nowhere is this drive to do better more important than in medicine, where lives are on the line with every decision. In his new book, Atul Gawande explores how doctors strive to close the gap between best intentions and best performance in the face of obstacles that sometimes seem insurmountable. Gawande s gripping stories of diligence, ingenuity, and what it means to do right by people take us to battlefield surgical tents in Iraq, to labor and delivery rooms in Boston, to a polio outbreak in India, and to malpractice courtrooms around the country. He discusses the ethical dilemmas of doctors participation in lethal injections, examines the influence of money on modern medicine, and recounts the astoundingly contentious history of hand washing. And as in all his writing, Gawande gives us an inside look at his own life as a practicing surgeon, offering a searingly honest firsthand account of work in a field where mistakes are both unavoidable and unthinkable. At once unflinching and compassionate, Better is an exhilarating journey narrated by arguably the best nonfiction doctor-writer around (Salon). Gawande s investigation into medical professionals and how they progress from merely good to great provides rare insight into the elements of success, illuminating every area of human endeavor. |

Breast Cancer: Sharing the Decision $94.93 Of all cancers, probably breast cancer is one of the most emotive. Increasingly patients with breast cancer are participating in the surgical and/or medical decisions about their treatment. This involvement raises ethical issues about the rights of patients and their ability to give aninformed consent, concerns about the process of communication between the medical staff and the patient, and also issues about the psychology of not only the woman with breast cancer, but also the doctor. This book addresses these issues relating to shared decision making and in particular thoseareas where a choice of treatment option involves some degree of risk/benefit analysis. It covers the ethical principles and then looks at the evidence that women who are fully informed and who have taken part in the decision making process regarding their treatment, and who have a positive attitudetowards their illness, tend to do better in the long run. Appropriate experts have contributed sections on the different treatment options to provide a brief overview of the treatments available and highlight the issues that should be considered by the woman and the doctor in the decision makingprocess. There is also a section on the patients perspective and vignettes throughout to illustrate the importance of communication. |

Business Basics for Veterinarians $19.95 While many veterinarians choose to believe that expertise in medicine necessarily precludes having business sense, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, business and medicine are both evidence-based disciplines with much in common. When a patient is sick, we used standard algorithms to determine the most likely causes, and run appropriate diagnostic tests. We do the same thing with a business that is in failing health. We might run an inventory audit instead of a radiograph, or look at financial statements rather than laboratory results, but the problem-solving approach is the same. Once a medical problem is unearthed, we prescribe appropriate treatment. The same holds for businesses. A practice may not need an antibiotic injection, but an infusion of capital might be just what the doctor orders for an outdated facility. Finally, once the problem is corrected, we periodically monitor the patient with wellness exams, assuring continued health. Businesses are no different. We continue to take their vital signs, benchmark them against established normals and make sure that they continue on a healthful trend. What could possibly be a more natural extension of expertise than applying the same care to practice management as patient management? |

Delia’s Doctors $15.25 This early feminist novel is a wickedly funny slice of mid-nineteenth-century Americana peppered with details of the era’s freakish medical tactics and leavened with a smart and sassy commentary about the societal restraints on women’s physical and intellectual abilities. First published in 1852, Delia’s Doctors is one of four known novels by Hannah Gardner Creamer, an American writer whose life and career have been all but absent from the annals of American history. In the book, eighteen-year-old Delia Thornton is ill. Her condition, more psychological than physical, worsens during the bitter winter, even as doctor after doctor attempts to cure her. As Delia typifies the female heroine whose sickness is aggravated by listlessness and inactivity, her brother’s fiancee Adelaide Wilmot, is Delia’s more robust counterpart. Adelaide thinks she could do anything, if only she were a man, and she dreams of being a physician. Quick to point out the shortcomings of male doctors in treating female illnesses, Adelaide saves Delia and delivers a series of arguments against New England patriarchy. Nina Baym’s introduction provides historical context and discusses the book’s feminist perspectives. |

Doctor Pascal $13.58 Doctor Pascal Rougon, a medical man at Plassans and a distin-guished student of heredity, had brought up his niece Clotilde (daughter of Aristide Rougon alias Saccard) from childhood. Years afterwards they found that they passionately loved one another… His mother, Felicite Rougon, who feared that his researches on heredity might bring scandal on the family, burned all his papers, and in one hour destroyed the work of a lifetime… A child was born to Clotilde, a child which Pascal intensely desired, in the hope that through it might come the regeneration and rejuvenation of his race… The story in the book is both simple and sad. (J. G. Patterson) — Pascal”s works on the members of his family is, in small, what I have attempted to do on humanity, to show all so that all may be cured. It is not a book which, like La Debacle, will stir the passions of the mob. It is a scientific work, the logical deduction and conclusion of all my preceding novels, and at the same time it is my speech in defence of all that I have done before the court of public opinion.

First, Do No Harm $9.26 The past comes rearing up to bite the next generation when a son digs too deep into his family’s past…. Martin Firestone can’t figure why his father, the eccentric painter Leo Firestone, is throwing a fit. All Martin did was tell his dad he’d been accepted to medical school. Then, Leo tells Martin a story about his own father, Dr. Samuel Firestone, an extraordinarily gifted doctor and a living legend in the small city of Hobart, NJ, but a man with a serious character flaw. During the summer of 1943, while Leo worked as Samuel’s extern, he witnessed some highly questionable behavior. Illegal abortions, supplying heroin to an addict, black-market pharmaceuticals, babies sold to adoptive parents-all in a day’s work for Samuel Firestone, M.D. When Leo decided his father was covering up a murder, he and his girlfriend, stage-struck Harmony, followed a trail of clues into the Fleischmann Scrapyard. There, they ran afoul of old Oscar Fleischmann, Samuel’s longtime nemesis. By the time Leo realized he and Harmony were in far over their sixteen-year-old heads, it was too late to call off the investigation. But there are loose threads in Leo’s story. Martin picks them up, and sixty years after the fact, goes snooping in Hobart. And like his father, he comes away with a whole lot more junk than he’d bargained for. |

One morning, Jenny McCarthy was having a cup of coffee when she sensed something was wrong. She ran into her two-year-old son Evan s room and found him seizing. In that moment, Jenny went from being the mother of an average toddler to being in the midst of a medical odyssey. Doctor after doctor misdiagnosed Evan until after many harrowing, life-threatening episodes later one amazing doctor discovered that Evan is autistic. Though Evan finally had a diagnosis, Jenny didn t know what to do next and she soon found herself alone without any resources except for her determination to help her son. Jenny eventually realized that she d have to become a detective. She spoke with many doctors, parents, governmental agencies, private foundations, and essentially earned a PhD in Google Research.

Making Doctors $83.63 Few outsiders realize that student illness is frequently, and ironically, a by-product of medical training. This unique study by a medical doctor and trained anthropologist debunks popular myths of expertise and authority which surround the medical establishment and asks provoking questions about the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge within the field. In detailing all levels of basic training in a London medical school, the author describes students’ ‘official’ activities (that is, what they need to do to qualify) as well as their ‘unofficial’ ones (such as their social life in the bar). This insider’s expose should prompt a serious reconsideration of abuses in a profession which has a critical influence over untold lives. In particular, it suggests that the structures and discourses of power need to be re-examined in order to provide satisfactory answers to sensitive questions relating to gender and race, the dialogue between doctor and patient and the mental stability of students under severe stress. |

Making a Killing: HMOs and the Threat to Your Health $6.07 Do HMOs provide good health care while keeping costs down? Or is their dominance a major threat to American health, safety, and pocketbooks?In Making a Killing, you’ll meet some of the victims trapped in corporate medicine’s stark financial calculus: the less you care, the more you profit.– Diagnosed with stomach cancer but unable to get HMO approval for recommended treatment, David Goodrich finally started therapy anyway. But by then the cancer had spread to his liver. He died leaving his wife Teresa, a kindergarten teacher, with $750,000 in medical bills his insurer refused to pay.– Five-month-old Chad Aitken was given vaccine shots which caused a reaction. When his mother called their HMO doctor for assistance, she was told, incorrectly, that her insurance had lapsed, and was refused care. Chad died.Americans are angry — and ready to take back control of their health. In Making a Killing, consumer activists Jamie Court and Frank Smith indict the corrupt world of managed care, and provide a Self-Defense Kit for overcoming HMO stonewalling techniques and getting the care you deserve. Included is a mail-in postcard for readers to vote on what kind of health care system they think is right for the country. The verdict count will be maintained on the Internet. |

Male Sexual Health: Under the Supervision of $7.13 Male sexual health has become a popular subject. While open, even casual, discussion of the issue on television, radio or in other media may lead us to believe it is no longer taboo, the medical community has observed that men still shy away from consulting a doctor on these matters. Some only take steps once the situation has become serious, or even irreversible. This reluctance to seek medical help seems to be a common male reaction to health problems in general. Although men do not frequently open up about their problems, their questions and worries remain. Is it normal for a man to experience a diminished sex drive? Who should be consulted for a sexual problem – a family doctor, a specialist, or a sex therapist? When do doctors prescribe Viagra? Is it a safe treatment? Are there alternative solutions? How can sex therapy help a man recover a satisfying sex life? This book aims to answer all these questions. It offers a clear, precise and accessible account of male sexuality, complete with extensive up-to-date information and a large section devoted to various treatments, including sex therapy techniques and approaches. This book is the result of a collaboration between doctors and a sex therapist (all well-known in their fields), to help men and couples demystify male sexual health problems and work towards finding a satisfying solution. |

Medical Malpractice and the American Jury $21 In this landmark book, Neil Vidmar looks beyond the common perceptions of medical malpractice litigation and finds a system that is fair, impartial, and intelligent. Firmly grounded in a wealth of empirical data, the author presents a fresh look at a civil jury system that has been maligned as out-of-touch, capricious, and disposed to awarding exorbitant, unjustified amounts to plaintiffs whenever they have the opportunity. In an era when tort reform is high on the congressional agenda, Medical Malpractice and the American Jury is almost alone in voicing reason and fact.Written in a thoroughly inviting, jargon-free style, Medical Malpractice and the American Jury places those cases that go to trial in the broader context of litigation, noting that only about ten percent of malpractice cases ever result in trials. Of those that do go to trial, the author notes, more than two out of three cases are decided in the doctor’s favor — repudiating the view that jurors are inherently biased against doctors and are motivated more by sympathy for the plaintiff than by the facts of the case.Neil Vidmar comprehensively addresses all the claims that have been leveled against the performance of malpractice juries. For example, he compares actual jury decisions on negligence with neutral physicians’ ratings of whether negligence occurred in the medical treatment and finds a remarkable consistency — repudiating the view that jurors are unable to understand experts or uncritically defer to their opinion. |

Medicating Modern America $16.7 Nowhere do pharmaceutical companies sell more drugs, make more money, affect more lives, or wield more power than in the United States. These sophisticated but accessible essays trace the history of eight types of prescription blockbusters, from antibiotics to Viagra, and show how they have changed Americans’ thinking about disease, consumer rights, and normality itself. They force us to confront the paradox of a pill-taking society that wages war on some drugs but avidly seeks out others to economically profitable if not always therapeutically benign effect. David Courtwright, author ofForces of HabitandDark Paradise With Americans paying more than $200 billion in 2005 for prescription pills, the pharmaceutical business is the most profitable in the nation. The popularity of prescription drugs in recent decades has remade the doctor/patient relationship, instituting prescription-writing and pill-taking as an integral part of medical practice and everyday life. Medicating Modern Americaexamines the meanings behind this pharmaceutical revolution through the interconnected histories of eight of the most influential and important drugs: antibiotics, mood stabilizers, hormone replacement therapy, oral contraceptives, tranquilizers, stimulants, statins, and Viagra. All of these drugs have been popular, profitable, influential, and controversial, and the authors take a historical approach to studying their development, prescription, and consumption. This perspective locates the histories of prescription medicines in specific cultural contexts while revealing the extent to which contemporary debates about pharmaceutical drugs echo concerns voiced by Americans in the past. Exploring therich and multi-faceted history of pharmaceutical drugs in the United States, Medicating Modern Americaunveils the untold stories behind America’s pharmaceutical obsession. |

Mountains Beyond Mountains $27.5 Tracy Kidder is a winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the author of the bestsellers The Soul of a New Machine, House, Among Schoolchildren, and Home Town. He has been described by the Baltimore Sun as the master of the non-fiction narrative. This powerful and inspiring new book shows how one person can make a difference, as Kidder tells the true story of a gifted man who is in love with the world and has set out to do all he can to cure it. At the center of Mountains Beyond Mountains stands Paul Farmer. Doctor, Harvard professor, renowned infectious-disease specialist, anthropologist, the recipient of a MacArthur genius grant, world-class Robin Hood, Farmer was brought up in a bus and on a boat, and in medical school found his life’s calling: to diagnose and cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most. This magnificent book shows how radical change can be fostered in situations that seem insurmountable, and it also shows how a meaningful life can be created, as Farmer–brilliant, charismatic, charming, both a leader in international health and a doctor who finds time to make house calls in Boston and the mountains of Haiti–blasts through convention to get results. Mountains Beyond Mountains takes us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia as Farmer changes minds and practices through his dedication to the philosophy that the only real nation is humanity – a philosophy that is embodied in the small public charity he founded, Partners In Health. He enlists the help of the Gates Foundation, George Soros, the U.N.’s World Health Organization, and others in his quest to cure the world. At the heart of this bookis the example of a life based on hope, and on an understanding of the truth of the Haitian proverb Beyond mountains there are mountains : as you solve one problem, another problem presents itself, and so you go on and try to solve that one too.

Producing Patient-Centered Health Care: Patient Perspectives about Health and Illness and the Physician/Patient Relationship $135.87 A holistic view of the factors that impact the health of a patient beyond the illness itself, this book examines what it is like to be a patient. It espouses the view that terminal illness may not be a tragedy but, an opportunity for emotional growth. The inadequacies of medical care today are discussed, from the failure of health care professionals to see the person with the disease, to the many ways in which managed-care organizations jeopardize the doctor/patient relationship. The work reviews concrete ways in which health care professionals can enhance the quality of their care, by remaining compassionate, continuing to offer patients hope (even if their condition is terminal), acknowledging and addressing patients’ suffering, and counseling patients so that they can obtain the support needed. A new advocacy role for doctors is presented that enables patients to make advised decisions about their own treatment. This book encourages patients to take back their lives from the diseases that overwhelm them. It also discusses advance directives, living wills, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and do not resuscitate orders. Information is provided to help patients assume self advocacy on end-of-life issues from an emotional perspective as well as a legal perspective. |

Sexual Health $448.55 Americans feel free to tell medical doctors of health ills from headaches to hemorrhoids, and to tell psychologists about mental problems from depression to delusions. Yet, there is one area that affects both physical and mental health most people don’t discuss with either doctor or psychologist: sexual health. According to a survey published by the American Medical Association, 43 percent of women and 31 percent of men in the United States experience some form of sexual dysfunction, problems are largely hidden, and so exacerbated. Doctors don’t initiate the topic with patients; neither do most psychologists aside from trained sex therapists. The problems might not even be rooted in disorders commonly understood as illness. As officials at the World Health Organization have defined it, sexual health is more than the absence of disease. It is a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being related to sexuality. In this unprecedented four-volume set, doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, educators, and clergy break the silence, joining voices to present information vital for sexual health. Topics candidly discussed here by experts include the meaning of sexual health, the effects of ignorance or neglect, and the role of love, touch and communication. Doctors explain the roles of various physical systems from the brain to hormones, to the circulatory system. Psychologists and members of the clergy detail the roles of religion, culture, and parental or family beliefs in spurring or squashing sexual health. State-of-the-art treatments and research are also featured. Each volume includes a chapter on how to talk with a doctor, therapist, or patient about sexual health.Also cited are responsible organizations and Web sites to visit for further, reliable information. |

Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Irritable Bowel Syndrome $12.99 Irritable Bowel Syndrome is one of the most common reasons for a visit to the doctor in the United States, Europe, and other parts of the Western world. Even so, the majority of patients who have IBS do not seek medical care, which may be because of fear, embarrassment, or the lack of effective treatments. IBS affects both genders and all races. Recent data shows that 14 to 24 percent of women and 5 to 19 percent of men in the United States and Great Britain have IBS. If you have IBS, you are undoubtedly familiar with the link between your condition, your comfort, and what you eat or drink. Elaine Magee gives you positive advice about what foods you should eat almost every day, and whether you suffer from IBS constipation, IBS diarrhea predominant, or the type of IBS that includes both conditions. Easy-to-use tables list what foods are good for diarrhea, and for constipation, and which foods cause bloating or gastrointestinal distress. |

The Answers to Life and a Little Bit More $12.73 My name is Joan Castellano. I am a registered nurse continuing my education. I will soon hold a masters degree in science and health as a nurse practitioner and educator. I find truth in what the doctor prescribes as well as belief in my spirituality and holistic regimens. It is my goal to someday run a clinic to care for people using an integration of medical and holistic care. I would love to write for a paper or magazine (like Irma Bombeck once did). I write in the Irma Bombeck-style but with spirituality. I am realistic, funny, and spiritually approachable. I do not have all the answers or the connections with the other side, but that is because I am a real human being. Most of the books I have read make people feel that they are not at the level of the writer, as if the writer is so very gifted that they are above us mere mortals. My writing allows the reader to relate to their spiritual side and see that it is okay if we are not all psychic card readers. There is now a book that shows you how to make your journey and realistically try to encourage the you to increase your spirituality. You cannot always get everything you want. You may not see someones aura, but this does not mean you cannot have something special about you. This book is to make you feel good, think, laugh, and be okay with what God gave you. It has some parenting tips as well. It is real life. It is my life. This is a wonderful self help/spiritual book. It is for real people from a real person. Peace and serenity to you. |

The Doctor & You $10.15 The Doctor and You is a book for any young child who will experience a trip to a doctor’s office, hospital, or health clinic. The photographs familiarize children with many of the medical instruments and machines they are likely to encounter during their visit, allowing them to become more comfortable with doctors and hospitals. By showing how specific instruments are used to examine or treat them, children become comfortable with how they work and what they accomplish.Some of the tools examined include: a scale, a reflex hammer, a tongue depressor, an electronic thermometer, an ophthalmoscope, an otoscope, a stethoscope, blood pressure equipment, blood sampling equipment, a syringe, an X-ray machine, and casts for setting broken bones.Control over their own bodies is very important to young children. Their role with each medical tool is emphasized through a special feature called Your Job that briefly explains what children can do to help with the procedure, providing a positive and active role in their own health care.All information is presented in a positive manner. For instance, the book does not include taking temperatures because research has shown that many young children think this means that something is actually being removed from them. Potential fears associated with medical procedures, such as the belief that X-rays reveal secrets, are also addressed in a comforting and honest manner.A special page has been included for parents that offers pointers for discussions. Follow-up play activities geared towards helping children feel more comfortable about visiting a doctor are suggested.The Doctor and You is illustrated with 23 color photographs taken at achildren’s hospital and several line drawings. |

The Practice of Autonomy: Patients, Doctors, and Medical Decisions $58.05 This is a book written across the grain of contemporary ethics, where the principle of autonomy has triumphed.It is an attempt to see the law of medicine, the principles of bioethics, and the encounter between doctor and patient from the patient”s point of view. While Schneider agrees that many patients now want to make their own medical decisions, and virtually all want to be treated with dignity and solicitude, he argues that most do not want to assume the full burden of decision-making that some bioethicists and lawyers have thrust upon them. What patients want, according to Schneider, is more ambiguous, complicated, and ambivalent than being empowered. In this book he tries to chart that ambiguity, to take the autonomy paradigm past current pieties into the uncertain realities of modern medicine. |

What’s a Woman to Do?: Practical Answers to Women’s Healthcare Questions in the 21st Century $2.84 What’s a Woman to Do? was the title of a two-page paper Dr. Willis wrote in mid-2002. It was in response to numerous inquires from female patients after the Women’s Health Initiative study on hormone replacement therapy was terminated early. Subsequently, more questions than answers arose. As a result, Dr. Willis set out to span the gulf between medical fact and fiction, to find answers to the recurring questions. The first section of the book covers an overview of various relevant topics including: doctor-patient partnerships, the ABCs, the concept of progressive practical application, and a new paradigm to challenge how you approach dealing with healthcare issues. The subsequent sections address the areas of stress reduction, environmental estrogen/toxin exposure, prescription estrogens, and nutrition. Each section contains background material and current medical findings. Because the ultimate goal of the program is to have you to make appropriate steps to health, each section ends with a practical application. |
