The Rhetoric of Medicine explores problems that confront medical
professionals today by first examining similar problems that
confronted physicians in ancient Greece. This framework provides
illuminating entry points into challenges faced by the practice of
medicine, enabling readers to understand more clearly their shape
and operation in the modern context-as well as possible solutions
to these problems. Topics covered include: larger cultural ideas
about the body; tension between professional values and working for
money; effective collaboration and competition with alternative
healthcare providers; restrictions on political involvement that
seem part of a physician's identity; maintaining a space for
professional autonomy and judgment; mentoring that is effective but
not exclusive; and physicians' recognition of themselves as
patients as well as professionals. The Rhetoric of Medicine
represents a unique collaboration between a classicist and a
neurosurgeon, reflecting both their scholarly work and extensive
experience as administrators. Together, these two experts combine
their personal experience as professionals with careful analysis of
what it means to be a medical professional, both in ancient Greece
and today. The Rhetoric of Medicine is a call to interrogate the
narratives and ideas that shape medical care and to revise and
replace those that do not serve patient health. Advance Praise for
The Rhetoric of Medicine "It is an incredibly rich story with
lessons around money, competition and autonomy for doctors and for
the patients they serve." - Sanjay Gupta, MD, Staff Neurosurgeon,
The Emory Clinic, Atlanta, GA, Chief Medical Correspondent, CNN
