Abstract

Dit werk beschrijft aan de hand van de geschiedenis van de Vereniging van Nederlandse Vrouwelijke Artsen hoe de positie van de vrouwelijke arts zich in de afgelopen eeuw ontwikkelde. De studie en carrière van Aletta Jacobs waren het startschot, gevolgd door een steeds groter wordende stroom meisjesstudenten aan de geneeskundefaculteiten. In 1927 werd de eerste vrouwelijke hoogleraar in de geneeskunde benoemd. Deze ontwikkeling ging niet zonder horten of stoten. In de praktijk was het vrouwen aanvankelijk alleen toegestaan om zich toe te leggen op de behandeling van vrouwen en kinderen. Als ze trouwden werden ze uit hun dienstverband ontslagen. De VNVA bood een gelegenheid voor vrouwelijke artsen om hun ervaringen te delen en te 'netwerken'; tevens trad de VNVA op als belangenbehartiger wanneer men de ongelijke arbeidsomstandigheden probeerde te bestrijden. De auteur gaat verder in op de ontwikkelingen in de medische sector en op de veranderende mentaliteit binnen de beroepsgroep.

Abstract

Are patients passive, or merely deferent? How does gender affect questioning and topic control in medical encounters? What does it sound like when physician and patient co-construct a diagnosis through storytelling? Nancy Ainsworth-Vaughn, a sociolinguist, ethnographer, and cancer survivor, answers questions such as these in a study of 100 medical encounters, with balanced numbers of men and women among physicians as well as patients. Ainsworth-Vaughn draws upon linguistics and medical ethics to develop a comprehensive theory of types of power. She engages critical problems in discourse theory, expanding our understanding of topic transitions, questions, ambiguity, and co-construction.

Abstract

Lawrence Altman has authored the only complete history of the controversial and understudied practice of self-experimentation. In telling the stories of pioneering researchers, Altman offers a history of many of the most important medical advancements in recent years as well as centuries past--from anesthesia to yellow fever to heart disease. With a new preface, he brings readers up to date and continues his discussion of the ethics and controversy that continue to surround a practice that benefits millions but is understood by few.

The human rights, ethical and moral dimensions of health care : one hundred and twenty cases examined from the standpoint of legal norms, international and European ethics, and the Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and agnostic moralities, presented as an aid to decision-making and teaching.

Abstract

"This poignant and eloquent book is a memoir of the first decade of the AIDS epidemic in the Bronx, a physician's firsthand account of the emergence of an epidemic and the lives that it touched. It is also an exploration of how the physician was himself transformed by his experience with these patients." "Dr. Peter Selwyn, now a well-known researcher and clinician in the area of HIV and drug abuse, came to Monteflore Medical Center in the Bronx as a medical intern in June 1981. He remained there for ten years, caring for patients with AIDS. During that same decade he got married and became a father. Absorbed in the pain and losses of his patients and their families, Dr. Selwyn finally acknowledged the grief he had carried for decades following the sudden death (and apparent suicide) of his father when the author was an infant. He realized that, like AIDS, suicide stigmatizes both those who die and those who survive - an insight that helped him to see the connections between his patients' lives and his own. Surrounded by dying young parents, he understood what it meant to have a father and to be one. The insight began a process of personal healing in the midst of the epidemic. His story can help us see AIDS (and any life-threatening illness) as an opportunity to go through our own fear, pain, and darkness and to come out on the other side."--Jacket.
