Medical Practice Management Handbook: Complete Guide to Accounting, Tax Issues, Managed Care, and Daily Operations

Customer Review: pleasantly surprised with content…
I’ve only skimmed the book for content, not read it yet. I was seeking a book to help with internal controls for my husbands medical practice. I am a CPA. This book may be slightly light on that topic, but it was very comprehensive as to running a practice, not just the accounting side of it. After I read through this book I will probably be ready to run the office myself - doing everything but the operations! It was costly so I was apprehensive to buy it, but I think it’ll be worth the cost.

The contents of this book are the fruit of extensive medical knowledge and field experience. The editors, including Mission to the World’s medical directors Drs. Ted and Sharon Kuhn, are not only experts in their field, but they have assembled a team of experts. In this book, readers will find well prepared, in-depth content and information that is under girded by a sound biblical theology of word and deed ministry of the gospel that expresses the love and compassion of Christ for the suffering.” Dr. Paul Kooistra, Coordinator for Mission to the World, PCA
Customer Review: Maybe the single best book on the subject.
Though much of the content is aimed at those who will be working short-term in cross-cultural medical situations, there is much good information for career workers as well.
Anthropology of Infectious Disease: International Health Perspectives (Theory and Practice in Medical Anthropology and International Health)
January 8, 2009 | Comments Off
Anthropological contributions to the study of infectious disease and to the study of actual infectious disease eradication programs have rarely been collected in one volume. In the era of AIDS and the global resurgence of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and malaria, there is widespread interest and concern about the cultural, ecological and political factors that are directly related to the increased prevalence of infectious disease. In this book, the authors have assembled the growing scholarship in one volume. Chapters explore the coevolution of genes and cultural traits; the cultural construction of “disease” and how these models influence health-seeking behavior; cultural adaptive strategies to infectious disease problems; the ways in which ethnography sheds light on epidemiological patterns of infectious disease; the practical and ethical dilemmas that anthropologists face by participating in infectious disease programs; and the political ecology of infectious

From Detached Concern to Empathy: Humanizing Medical Practice
January 4, 2009 | Comments Off
Physicians recognize the importance of patients’ emotions in healing yet believe their own emotional responses represent lapses in objectivity. Patients complain that physicians are too detached. Halpern argues that by empathizing with patients, rather than detaching, physicians can best help them. Yet there is no consistent view of what, precisely, clinical empathy involves. This book challenges the traditional assumption that empathy is either purely intellectual or an expression of sympathy. Sympathy, according to many physicians, involves over-identifying with patients, threatening objectivity and respect for patient autonomy.
How can doctors use empathy in diagnosing and treating patients rithout jeopardizing objectivity or projecting their values onto patients? Jodi Halpern, a psychiatrist, medical ethicist and philosopher, develops a groundbreaking account of emotional reasoning as the core of clinical empathy. She argues that empathy cannot be based on detached reasoning because it involves emotional skills, including associating with another person’s images and spontaneously following another’s mood shifts. Yet she argues that these emotional links need not lead to over-identifying with patients or other lapses in rationality but rather can inform medical judgement in ways that detached reasoning cannot. For reflective physicians and discerning patients, this book provides a road map for cultivating empathy in medical practice. For a more general audience, it addresses a basic human question: how can one person’s emotions lead to an understanding of how another person is feeling?
Customer Review: Physician-patient relations reconfigured
This is an outstanding treatise of the philosophical and ethical engagement between physician and patient. Working to move beyond standard medical school training approach of “detached concern”, physician & philosopher Jodi Halpern argues for a progressive empathic stance, reasoned carefully through Kant and Descartes, enriched by psychoanalytic and psychological frameworks, but always grounded in her own experience with patients. This is a careful thinker and academic scholar at work here who has scoured the relevant literature and developed her own trenchant strategies for improving medical care. Designed for practicing physicians but provocative enough to appeal to philosophers and bioethicists. With up-to-date index linking research in medical anthropology, nursing, neuropsych and psychotherapy, as well as analytic mind/body philosophy. This is an author to watch out for.
