Medicine at the Crossroads: The Crisis in Health CarePantheon Books, 1993 - 298 pagina's This book is a penetrating analysis of the crisis in health care. The trouble, the author argues, is not with the doctors but with a cultural and social system that has obliterated the human face of health care. The author forges a human response to this crisis and forcefully articulates the priorities of a health care system that "will tend not only to the privileged and wealthy but to all of us. He envisions a system that balances the demands of specialization against the need for primary care, that ensures patient and family involvement against medical authoritarianism, that advocates the efficacy of prevention and helps all of us - doctor and patient alike - to develop a sense of responsibility for our own care." |
