Book excerpt: Since the 1950s the prevalence of the so-called 'diseases of civilisation' has continued to skyrocket in Western countries. Today, as the same story is beginning to be repeated in newly industrialised nations, modern diseases are reaching pandemic proportions. Why has this happened? The medical profession's spin is that the culprit is the aging of the population. But, as Cry for Health (Vol 1) reveals, there is overwhelming evidence for why our populations are ailing, evidence health authorities and governments have chosen to ignore, or have refused to acknowledge, or have kept hidden from the public to keep them clueless to the real culprits: many modern technologies and our modern lifestyles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is another patient being extracted from the other vehicle. They should be on their way in about thirty minutes." The charge nurse answered, "I will be standing by." For Dr. Kirk Frei, this would turn out to be the worst shift of his ER career so far. He heard the radio and was thinking of what was happening with the first patient, what he would have to do. Suddenly the radio crackled again. "We have the second patient from the accident, whose BP is 70 palpable. He has got chest and abdominal injuries, and we think a lung is down on the right. An IV has been established, his heart rate is 132, and he is having trouble breathing. We will be there in five." "Roger," said the charge nurse. Holy Jesus, thought Dr. Frei. The first patient isn't here yet-a severe head injury that was called in earlier from an MVC, and they said it would be thirty minutes before this one would arrive. Now he would have to think and act fast. This book is a memoir of Dr.Sabol who was reared in a dysfunctional family,who overcame many adversities,disappointments,and heartaches and took a troubled path to becoming a physician after hard work and a career as an officer in the U.S.Marine Corps.This first book takes him from childhood to his entrance into the Marine Corps interspersed with medical cases that he has been a part.

This book was released on 2024-02-28 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides a comprehensive and critical overview of the gamut of contemporary issues around health and healthcare from a political economy perspective. Its contributions present a unique challenge to prevailing economic accounts of health and healthcare, which narrowly focus on individual behaviour and market processes. Instead, the capacity of the human body to reach its full potential and the ability of society to prevent disease and cure illness are demonstrated to be shaped by a broader array of political economic processes. The material conditions in which societies produce, distribute, exchange, consume, and reproduce – and the operation of power relations therein – influence all elements of human health: from food consumption and workplace safety, to inequality, healthcare and housing, and even the biophysical conditions in which humans live. This volume explores these concerns across five sections. First, it introduces and critically engages with a variety of established and cutting-edge theoretical perspectives in political economy to conceptualise health and healthcare – from neoclassical and behavioural economics, to Marxist and feminist approaches. The next two sections extend these insights to evaluate the neoliberalisation of health and healthcare over the past 40 years, highlighting their individualisation and commodification by the capitalist state and powerful corporations. The fourth section examines the diverse manifestation of these dynamics across a range of geographical contexts. The volume concludes with a section devoted to outlining more progressive health and healthcare arrangements, which transcend the limitations of both neoliberalism and capitalism. This volume will be an indispensable reference work for students and scholars of political economy, health policy and politics, health economics, health geography, the sociology of health, and other health-related disciplines.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the center of the debate over complementary and alternative medicine--from acupuncture and chiropractic treatments to homeopathy and nutritional supplements--is how to scientifically measure the effectiveness of a particular treatment. Fourteen scholars from the fields of medicine, philosophy, sociology, and cultural and folklore studies examine that debate, and the clash between growing public support and the often hostile stance of clinicians and medical researchers. Proponents and critics have different methodologies and standards of evidence--raising the question of how much pluralism is acceptable in a medical context--particularly in light of differing worldviews and the struggle to define medicine in the modern world. The contributors address both the methodological problems of assessment and the conflicting cultural perspectives at work in a patient's choice of treatment. Sympathetic to CAM, the contributors nonetheless offer careful critiques of its claims, and suggest a variety of ways it can be taken seriously, yet subject to careful scrutiny.
