Тематические разделы:
Modern medicine is a powerful institution. With the help of highly-developed drugs
and surgical techniques, it promises to relieve suffering, improve the quality of
life and extend the life-span. Conversely, it is expensive for the governments, insurance
companies and individuals who pay for it and sometimes appears to be insensitive
to the needs of those for whom it provides. And while recent restructuring of health
care delivery services has provided medical practitioners with new challenges, there
has been very little consideration of the range of pressures that they now face.
Challenging Medicine offers a lively appraisal of the current changes to the health
service and analyzes their effects on the status and practice of health professionals.
It also provides original debate on the challenges posed from within medicine from
the nurses, managers, alternative practitioners and self-help groups and beyond to
the women's movement and the media.
