Ordinary Medicine: Extraordinary Treatments, Longer Lives, and Where to Draw the Line - Critical Global Health: Evidence, Efficacy, Ethnography
Sharon R. Kaufman
Sharon R. Kaufman examines the quandary of patients, families and doctors not knowing the point where enough medical treatment becomes too much treatment. A hidden chain of drivers among science, industry, new technology, and insurance spur this quandary, serving to obscure the ability to identify the difference between extraordinary and ordinary medicine.
