Abstract:

Unani Medicine in the Making examines the institutions and practices of Unani medicine, the Graeco-Islamic healing practice based on the humoral theory attributed to Hippocrates and officially recognized as a system of medicine in India. Drawing on diverse materials, including Urdu sources, interviews with practitioners, and observations in clinics, the book explores what Unani medicine is today by attending to its multiplicity, scrutinizing apparent tensions between the understanding of Unani as a system of medicine and its multiple enactments as Islamic medicine, medical science, or alternative medicine. Ethnographic details provide vivid descriptions of the current practice of Unani in India, and invite readers to rethink the idea that humoral medicine is incommensurable with modern medicine and science, and that the modernization of Asian medicines invariably leads to their biomedicalization. Ultimately, the book also discusses the relationship of Unani with Muslim communities, examining the growing practice of Prophetic Medicine in Urban India and increasing representations of Unani as Islamic Medicine.

Full text

Abstract:

This book defends medical nihilism, which is the view that we should have little confidence in the effectiveness of medical interventions. If we consider the frequency of failed medical interventions, the extent of misleading evidence in medical research, the thin theoretical basis of many interventions, and the malleability of empirical methods in medicine, and if we employ our best inductive framework, then our confidence in the effectiveness of medical interventions ought to be low. Part I articulates theoretical and conceptual groundwork, which offers a defense of a hybrid theory of disease, which forms the basis of a novel account of effectiveness, and this is applied to pharmacological science and to issues such as medicalization. Part II critically examines details of medical research. Even the very best methods in medical research, such as randomized trials and meta-analyses, are malleable and suffer from various biases. Methods of measuring the effectiveness of medical interventions systematically overestimate benefits and underestimate harms. Part III summarizes the arguments for medical nihilism and what this position entails for medical research and practice. To evaluate medical nihilism with care, the argument is stated in formal terms. Medical nihilism suggests that medical research must be modified, that clinical practice should be less aggressive in its therapeutic approaches, and that regulatory standards should be enhanced.

Abstract:

Medical scientists employ ‘quality assessment tools’ to assess evidence from medical research, especially from randomized trials. These tools are designed to take into account methodological details of studies, including randomization, subject allocation concealment, and other features of studies deemed relevant to minimizing bias. There are dozens of such tools available. They differ widely from each other, and empirical studies show that they have low inter-rater reliability and low inter-tool reliability. This is an instance of a more general problem called here the underdetermination of evidential significance. Disagreements about the quality of evidence can be due to different—but in principle equally good—weightings of the methodological features that constitute quality assessment tools. Thus, the malleability of empirical research in medicine is deep: in addition to the malleability of first-order empirical methods, such as randomized trials, there is malleability in the tools used to evaluate first-order methods.

Abstract:

According to recent surveys, 75 to 90% of US medical schools have now incorporated spirituality and health into their curricula, but the details of these interventions have been underexplored. This chapter describes the current state of religion and spirituality in medical education, reviewing evidence in the literature to support specific educational practices, with an emphasis on undergraduate medical education in North America. A brief historical background focuses on the development of specific learning objectives and competencies for spirituality in medical education, which are used to ground discussion of published material describing specific educational programs. These include guidelines/consensus statements, case reports of specific curricular structure and content, performance assessments, and novel pedagogical and evaluative techniques. The chapter also discusses the role of extra-curricular interventions, including ceremonies and rituals, and religiously-affiliated educational programs. It concludes with a discussion of graduate/continuing medical education, and future directions.

Abstract:

The number of life-limiting conditions in paediatrics is vast, and paediatric palliative medicine is generally based equally on both malignant and non-malignant conditions. There are several medical conditions that are common enough for it to be helpful to know about them in more detail. As all the conditions, by definition, have no cure, it is best to tackle each symptom with which the child presents individually, never forgetting that medical intervention is not the only modality open to us. Common conditions, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, mucopolysaccharidosis type 1, mucopolysaccharidosis type 3, Batten’s disease, spinal muscular atrophy, and trisomy 18, are covered in this chapter. Details of clinical features and prognosis are described for each.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter details the recommended elements of the mental health assessment of individuals seeking cosmetic surgery or minimally invasive cosmetic treatments. Recommendations are provided for both mental health clinicians and aesthetic medical providers (e.g., surgeons, dermatologists). The standard elements of a comprehensive, initial mental health evaluation provide the foundation for assessment. In addition to assessing patients’ current psychosocial functioning and mental health history, providers should more specifically evaluate patients’ body image concerns. This includes a detailed assessment of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) symptoms. Mental health providers, as well as clinicians from whom cosmetic procedures are being requested, should also assess patients’ motivations and expectations for cosmetic treatment. These and other more specific areas of assessment will allow the consulting mental health professional to provide a comprehensive report to the medical professional providing the cosmetic treatment. It will also help surgeons, dermatologists, and other providers of cosmetic treatment to determine whether cosmetic treatment is appropriate for individuals with minimal appearance flaws who request cosmetic procedures.

Abstract:

Patients and families overwhelmingly want to be informed regarding matters related to poor outcomes and medical errors. After the occurrence of a medical error, most patients and families highly value an honest and transparent disclosure of the details as well as a sincere apology from the parties responsible regardless of the degree of apparent harm. When disclosing a medical error to a parent or patient, an organized approach using a truthful and compassionate discussion as the backbone is the most prudent strategy. Additionally, effective disclosure practices can decrease legal liability. This chapter discusses the differences between medical errors and poor clinical outcomes, the distinctions between near misses and sentinel events, the indications for disclosure of medical errors without apparent harm as well as the appropriate use of apology, and an approach for the effective disclosure of a pediatric medical error to a parent.

Abstract:

This book chronologically details the lives and professional experiences of Jewish professional figures, demonstrating the obstacles they faced and the status they achieved. The book begins by detailing the influx of Jews into medical schools after 1914 and the problems these Jewish medical students faced. Finding employment was problematic. Afraid of antisemitic claims that Jews were flooding the market, the leaders of Anglo-Jewry even tried in the 1930s to dissuade young Jews from becoming doctors and lawyers. In this context, the book also considers the position of refugee doctors before and during the Second World War. The establishment of the National Health Service in 1948 resulted in fundamental changes, particularly in the way in which consultants were selected, and this permitted Jewish doctors to enter specialties from which they had previously been excluded. The book summarizes the careers of many prominent Jewish doctors. The experience of Jews in the legal profession, both as solicitors and barristers, is examined in similar detail. The persistence of an anti-Jewish bias in the inter-war period limited opportunities for Jews and dissuaded them from entering the law. After the war, major changes in the economy and legal system allowed Jewish law firms to expand rapidly, challenging the dominance of the City law firms in the commercial world. Many of these firms consequently began to admit Jewish partners for the first time. From the late 1960s, Jews were also promoted in increasing numbers to position on the High Court Bench. As well as giving a detailed picture of these mainstream developments the book also looks at the careers of Jewish communist, socialist, and maverick lawyers.

Full text

Abstract:

Chapter 4 (Oath, Profession, and Autonomy) investigates the connections between medicine as incorporating an oath, being a profession, and possessing autonomy. It argues that professional medical practice cannot amount solely to a technique. Rather, it necessarily incorporates an internal medical ethic, to which practitioners swear. It argues that the most basic indisputable norm internal to medicine approximates the aphorism “as to diseases, practice two: help or do not harm”—primum, non nocere (or, “first, do no harm”). It details the implications of medical promising—including self-regulation, education of the public concerning the profession’s commitments, and societal respect for professional conscientious objection. Chapter 4 concludes by noting that the enduring legacy of the Oath—as seen in the renaissance of medical oath-taking in the White Coat Ceremony, for example,—consists in the conception and establishment of doctoring as a profession, a practice incorporating its own publicly avowed ethic.

Abstract:

Powerful new detailed and comprehensive resource for diagnosing and treating medical child abuse. Thomas A. Roesler, MD and Carole Jenny, MD, MBA, FAAP make the case that the term Munchausen syndrome by proxy should be retired permanently and replaced with a commonsense appreciation that children can be abused by their parents in the medical environment. Physicians who find themselves providing unnecessary and harmful medical care can see the abuse for what it is, another way parents can harm children. The book offers the first detailed and comprehensive description of treatment for this form of child maltreatment. “At last. A clear, logical, and immensely practical book, showing that this is not a syndrome at all, but rather another important form of child abuse…and one which is completely preventable.” Kim Oates, Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics, The University of Sydney, Australia. “A fantastic book that will revolutionize, in a much needed way, the way we think about this disorder.” Alex V. Levin, MD, MHSc, FAAP, FAAO, FRCSC, Professor, Department of Paediatrics, Genetics, and Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences Director, Postgraduate Bioethics Education University of Toronto. “Drs.

The medical care of children is characterized by the extent to which it relies on collaboration with family. In effect, the family of a child is expected to behave as colleagues with the paediatric or primary care team. The goal of communication with patients and families is to ensure the families feel confident and competent in this collegiate relationship. This chapter looks at the aim of communication factors that can complicate effective communication. A structured approach to facilitate the aims of communication is provided, with details on each stage.

Abstract:

Alice Walker's 1982 novel The Color Purple was published six months after AIDS was first described in medical literature. This chapter reads The Color Purple as an AIDS narrative by looking into the surrounding details of its publication to uncover what may have been an accidental narrative for Walker as she wrote her masterpiece but that proves nonetheless as important for our current moment as the novel was, in the moment of its publication, for second-wave feminism. A close consideration of the details of the novel reveals a subnarrative with devastating relevance to the lives of black women living in the Southeastern United States in the opening decades of the twenty-first century. By considering the sexual economy, the emphasis on illness and sexual contact, the postcolonial interests (which is to say, considering Africa), and the time and place of its writing, it is argued that The Color Purple should be read as the first AIDS narrative in American literature. Such a reading is a profound revision of our current model of AIDS literature and bears implications for our current political understanding of HIV/AIDS, a disease long associated with forgotten and unwanted populations.
