Advances in medicine have brought us the stethoscope, artificial
kidneys, and computerized health records. They have also changed
the doctor-patient relationship. This book explores how the
technologies of medicine are created and how we respond to the
problems and successes of their use. Stanley Joel Reiser, MD, walks
us through the ways medical innovations exert their influence by
discussing a number of selected technologies, including the X-ray,
ultrasound, and respirator. Reiser creates a new understanding of
thinking about how health care is practiced in the United States
and thereby suggests new methods to effectively meet the challenges
of living with technological medicine. As healthcare reform
continues to be an intensely debated topic in America,
Technological Medicine shows us the pros and cons of applying
technological solutions health and illness.
