Medicine and Social Justice pdf
Description

Because medicine can preserve and restore health and function, it has been widely acknowledged as a basic good that a just society should provide its members. Yet there is wide disagreement over the scope of what is to be provided, to whom, how, when and why. In this uniquely comprehensive book some of the best-known philosophers, doctors, lawyers, political scientists, and economists writing on the subject discuss the concerns and deepen our understanding of the theoretical and practical issues that run through the contemporary debate. The first section lays a broad theoretical basis for understanding the concept of justice, particularly as it relates to the distribution of health care. The second section critically examines how medical care is distributed in different countries around the world and the particular advantages and injustices associated with those systems. The third section draws attention to the special needs of different social groups and the specific issues of ju Download Medicine and Social Justice for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve

Medicine in Society pdf
Description

The social history of medicine over the past fifteen years has redrawn the boundaries of medical history. Specialized papers and monographs have contributed to our knowledge of how medicine has affected society and how society has shaped medicine. This book synthesizes, through a series of essays, some of the most significant findings of this "new social history" of medicine. The period covered ranges from ancient Greece to the present time. While coverage is not exhaustive, the reader is able to trace how medicine in the West developed from an unlicensed open market place, with many different types of practitioners in the classical period, to the nineteenth- and twentieth-century professionalized medicine of State influence, of hospitals, public health medicine, and scientific medicine. The book also covers innovative topics such as patient-doctor relationships, the history of the asylum, and the demographic background to the history of medicine.

The Art of JAMA pdf
Description

From the 1880s until the 1960s the weekly covers of The Journal of the American Medical Association displayed only a table of contents.

Therese Southgate, MD, became the guardian of this tradition. The Art of JAMA features: -100 covers chosen from JAMA issues published between 1974 and 1987 -Each selection is accompanied by Dr. Southgate's straightforward and fact-filled discussion of the artist and the work -Essays describe the background of the artist and the circumstances under which the work was completed -Commentary on the work -Personal insights from Dr. Southgate Download The Art of JAMA for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve

Epidemics and Ideas pdf
Description

Epidemic diseases have always been a test of the ability of human societies to withstand sudden shocks. How are such large mortalities and the illness of large proportions of the population to be explained and dealt with? How have the sources of disease been identified and controls imposed? The chapters in this book, by acknowledged experts in the history of their periods, look at the ways in which the great epidemic diseases of the past--from classical Athens to the present day--have shaped not only our views of medicine and disease, but the ways in which people have defined the "health" of society in general terms.
