This book explores the relationship between macro-social structure,
social construction and micro-healthcare behaviors. It constructs a
two-layered and two-faceted sociological analytical framework to
analyze the causes of depression in China and account for the
comparatively low rate of depression in the country, and provides a
sociological interpretation of depression in China from a global
perspective that has rarely been adopted in previous sociological
studies in China. Presenting first-hand data and case studies, it
describes and analyzes patients' subjective experience and actions
as well as physicians' viewpoints. It also includes interviews with
34 patients, 4 family members, 3 psychological consultants and 5
psychiatrists. Offering an integrated interpretation of depression
in China from the perspectives of sociology, medical science and
psychology, this book is intended primarily, but not exclusively,
for the growing body of researchers and students who are looking
for ways of analyzing depression, especially in China. It is also a
valuable resource for practitioners working in the field.
'That's My Belly Button" is a book of memoirs that finds its voice
in both serious and humorous anecdotes, conversations, case
histories, personal views, serendipitous events, and caricatures of
patients treated in the office and hospital over a period of 35
years. The book creates a unique view of childhood and pediatrics
as seen by the pediatrician-from the inside out.
This is the story of how a young high school student, through a
quirk of fate, begins walking down a path that leads him to become
a rural family doctor in Montana. Having served a close-knit
community for fifty years Dr. Robert Whiting recounts a story of a
diphtheria outbreak, some interesting cancer outcomes, and several
cases requiring difficult decision making. In this personal
account, you'll learn what the medical textbooks can't teach you:
How changes in medicine have directly affected practitioners The
bond a small-town doctor forges with his community Creative ways to
dealing with ailments The effects of malpractice charges on the
profession And much more You'll also follow Dr. Whiting-a
sportsman, musician, and a husband-outside the profession. Somehow,
he manages all those roles as he successfully carries out his
practice. Take a closer look into just how he did it, and learn how
changes in medicine have affected practitioners in From the Bedside
to the HMO: A Doctor's Journey.
