Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been moving extremely quickly in the last few years, demonstrating a potential to revolutionize every aspect of our lives. Robert Veatch is one of the founding fathers of contemporary bioethics. In Patient, Heal Thyself, he sheds light on a fundamental change sweeping through the American health care system, a change that puts the patient in charge of treatment to an unprecedented extent. The change is in how we think about medical decision-making. Whereas medicine\'s core idea was that medical decisions should be based on the hard facts of science--the province of the doctor--the new medicine contends that medical decisions impose value judgments. Since physicians are not trained to make value judgments, the pendulum has swung greatly toward the patient in making decisions about their treatment. Veatch shows how this is presently true only for value-loaded interventions (abortion, euthanasia, genetics) but is coming to be true for almost every routine procedure in medicine--everything from setting broken arms to choosing drugs for cholesterol. Veatch uses a range of fascinating examples to reveal how values underlie almost all medical procedures and to argue that this change is inevitable and a positive trend for patients. These reflections from the career of a prominent physician help students and the public better understand patient care through insights gained from his stories. Medical knowledge and technology are advancing faster than we can learn to apply them wisely. The pace of change threatens the humanistic aspects of patient care. The arts of listening, observing and examining, and the values of professionalism, ethics, and humor are threatened both patient and physician are dissatisfied. It is time to restore balance in the care of patients by reinforcing the importance of these skills-and this groundbreaking book does just that. By sharing remarkable patient stories accumulated over almost six decades, Dr. Paul Griner shows how the somewhat elusive concepts intrinsic to the art of medicine can be better understood and applied in the day to day care of patients. Provocative questions at the end of each story challenge the reader to avoid a premature response, reflect more deeply on the question and learn how much of medicine is not black and white. Included are such compelling questions as: How do you respond to a parent who insists that her twenty-two year old daughter not be told she has leukemia?, What do you say to the mother of a nineteen year -old son who begs to let him die so that he can be relieved of the agonizing complications of his aplastic anemia?, How do you advise the pregnant wife of a medical resident who wishes to defer treatment for Hodgkin\'s Disease, for months, until after the baby is born?, How do you account for a patient whose leukemia disappears without treatment?, How do you respond to the death of a patient from an intern\'s careless act? These and almost fifty other stories provide a rich learning experience for both patients and health care professionals alike. A clarion call to balance humanism and technology for the benefits of a system that is breaking apart, Dr. Griner\'s collection of stories is a revelation. Exploring the variety of patient problems to delineate points of learning and personal growth, The Power of Patient Stories, Learning Moments in Medicine is a must read for patients and health professions students. Stories and Conversations to Forge a Vision for Health CareMedicine at the Crossroads is a collection of essays based a column originally published in the Waco-Tribune Herald by renowned cardiologist Dr. Michael Attas. It touches on three perspectives - the physician, the patient, and the healthcare system - and addresses some of the most pressing questions in medicine today. Individually, each story of illness, medicine, and healing provides a tiny, fragmented glimpse into the heart of a problem. Collectively, it is Dr. Attas\'s hope that these stories forge together to reveal a larger narrative truth.The collection originated among scores of bright, inquisitive students in the classrooms of Baylor University, where Dr. Attas founded the Medical Humanities Program. The program was the first of its kind in the United States, and it redefined how students prepare for a career in health care. Dr. Attas and his students explored medicine and the human condition through stories of brokenness and redemption, pain and loss, and joy and despair.But the stories that have emerged from Dr. Attas\'s 40-year career are not just for students. The conversations are for all of us. Whether you are a physician, patient, or other participant in the healthcare system, may you be bold enough, humble enough, and vulnerable enough to listen to these stories--and to the stories of those around you--with wonder and awe.While this collection may offer some solutions with fear and trembling, it does not dare claim to have all the answers. The purpose is simply to start conversations. So, let us take a collective breath and examine our personal feelings and expectations of medicine. May we each glimpse the possibilities and discover our own fresh, creative solutions.Ultimately, the purpose of Medicine at the Crossroads is to help us find our way to compassionate, humane health care for all. Together, may we find healing--for ourselves, our loved ones, and our system.What leaders are sayingFor years, Dr. Attas has been prescient about changes in medicine and the physician\'s role. In a time of radical change in health care, when the very practice of medicine is in question, he shows us that the essential relationship is between the patient and the physician.- United States Ambassador Lyndon L. Olson, Jr.Candid, transparent, and provocative, this is a stained glass collection of stories for talking about health care through the lens of the medical humanities, helping us understand how the science and art of medicine intersect. A must-read for anyone entering or serving in health care. - Joel T. Allison, FACHE, Retired CEO, Baylor Scott and White Health Senior Advisor, Robbins Institute for Health Policy and LeadershipDr. Attas reclaims ancient wisdom and offers a new vision. This is not only a handbook about recognizing patients\' needs in body and soul, but about how those holding life and death in their hands at work can recognize and meet their own needs of body and soul. I hope every clinician reads it. - Kerry Egan, MDiv, Author of On LivingAt the intersection of faith and medicine, Dr. Attas grapples with the dilemmas and dissonances of modern medicine in stories that are both personal and prophetic. This important conversation about the future of health care reminds future healthcare professionals of their sacred duty to care for patients and urges us all to build a healthcare system based on compassion, wisdom, and justice. - Lauren Barron, MD, Director, Medical Humanities Program, Baylor University The essential guide by one of America\'s leading doctors to how digital technology enables all of us to take charge of our health A trip to the doctor is almost a guarantee of misery. You\'ll make an appointment months in advance. You\'ll probably wait for several hours until you hear the doctor will see you now-but only for fifteen minutes! Then you\'ll wait even longer for lab tests, the results of which you\'ll likely never see, unless they indicate further (and more invasive) tests, most of which will probably prove unnecessary (much like physicals themselves). And your bill will be astronomical. In The Patient Will See You Now, Eric Topol, one of the nation\'s top physicians, shows why medicine does not have to be that way. Instead, you could use your smartphone to get rapid test results from one drop of blood, monitor your vital signs both day and night, and use an artificially intelligent algorithm to receive a diagnosis without having to see a doctor, all at a small fraction of the cost imposed by our modern healthcare system. The change is powered by what Topol calls medicine\'s Gutenberg moment. Much as the printing press took learning out of the hands of a priestly class, the mobile internet is doing the same for medicine, giving us unprecedented control over our healthcare. With smartphones in hand, we are no longer beholden to an impersonal and paternalistic system in which doctor knows best. Medicine has been digitized, Topol argues now it will be democratized. Computers will replace physicians for many diagnostic tasks, citizen science will give rise to citizen medicine, and enormous data sets will give us new means to attack conditions that have long been incurable. Massive, open, online medicine, where diagnostics are done by Facebook-like comparisons of medical profiles, will enable real-time, real-world research on massive populations. There\'s no doubt the path forward will be complicated: the medical establishment will resist these changes, and digitized medicine inevitably raises serious issues surrounding privacy. Nevertheless, the result-better, cheaper, and more human health care-will be worth it. Provocative and engrossing, The Patient Will See You Now is essential reading for anyone who thinks they deserve better health care. That is, for all of us. Narrative medicine has emerged in response to a commodified health care system that places corporate and bureaucratic concerns over the needs of the patient. Generated from a confluence of sources including humanities and medicine, primary care medicine, narratology, and the study ofdoctor-patient relationships, narrative medicine is medicine practiced with the competence to recognize, absorb, interpret, and be moved by the stories of illness. By placing events in temporal order, with beginnings, middles, and ends, and by establishing connections among things using metaphorand figural language, narrative medicine helps doctors to recognize patients and diseases, convey knowledge, accompany patients through the ordeals of illness--and according to Rita Charon, can ultimately lead to more humane, ethical, and effective health care. Trained in medicine and in literary studies, Rita Charon is a pioneer of and authority on the emerging field of narrative medicine. In this important and long-awaited book she provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the conceptual principles underlying narrative medicine, aswell as a practical guide for implementing narrative methods in health care. A true milestone in the field, it will interest general readers, and experts in medicine and humanities, and literary theory. AY 2023 – 2024. Year Level Committee. CONSULTANT MONITORS.
