Description

This in-depth examination of a compelling public health case takes you step-by-step through the world of medical detective work, as the Centers for Disease Control determine whether Dr. Acer did infect Kimberly Bergalis and other patients, and, if so, whether Acer's actions were accidents or acts of premeditated murder. At the same time, it raises a myriad of public health issues that are of concern to us all.Fatal Extraction clearly shows how the Centers for Disease Control--and other government agencies--respond to the Bergalis case and similar incidents, examines why government officials act as they do, and questions what they can do differently. As the book unravels the mysteries surrounding Kimberly Bergalis's tragic infection, it informs readers of the actions we can expect (and should demand) our government to take to protect the health of patients, medical workers, and all citizens.Mark Carl Rom is assistant professor of Government and Public Policy, Georgetown University, and Download Fatal Extraction for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve
