Book Description
Smart metrics, slow thinking, off-label drugs, and a “Moneyball” prescription for fixing modern medicine--by the author of Tripping Over the Truth The United States is fast becoming the sickest nation in the Western world. Cancer rates continue to rise. There is an epidemic of chronic disease in children. Even with all the money and modern innovations in science, the country’s health care system is beyond broken. Clearly there is a glitch in the system. But what if the solution has been here all along, and we’ve just been too blind to see it? In Curable journalist and health care advocate Travis Christofferson looks at medicine through a magnifying glass and asks an important question: What if the roots of the current US health care crisis are psychological and systemic, perpetuated not just by corporate influence and the powers that be, but by you and me? It is now known that human perception is based on deeply entrenched patterns of irrational thought, which we attach ourselves to religiously. So how does this implicate the very scientific research and data that doctors rely on to successfully treat their patients? A page-turning inquiry into a “moneyball approach to medicine,” Curable explores the links between revolutionary baseball analytics; Nobel Prize–winning psychological research on confirmation bias; wildly successful maverick economic philosophy; the history of the radical mastectomy and the rise of the clinical trial; cutting edge treatments routinely overlooked by regulatory bodies; and outdated medical models that prioritize profit over prevention. As stark as things are, Christofferson asks us to see health care not as a toppling house of cards, but as a badly organized system that is inherently fixable. How do we fix it? First we must reframe the conflict between doctors’ intuition and statistical data. Then we must design better systems that can support doctors who are increasingly overwhelmed with the complexity of modern medicine. Curable outlines the future of medicine, detailing brilliant examples of new health care systems that prove we can do better. It turns out we have more control over our health (and happiness) than we think.

Acne inversa is curable
Author: Christiane Billen
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 3757828224
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Christiane Billen, born in 1969, pharmacist and naturopath, not only wants to use the new Quantum Satis series to educate people about acne inversa (AI, hidradenitis suppurativa), but above all to give hope: The disease acne inversa, which was once classified as "rare", is increasingly becoming the focus of the treating physicians and also of research - and is no longer considered incurable! This is not a matter of course: just 10-15 years ago, the state of research was felt to be almost zero. In many cases, the lack of awareness of the disease led to incorrect diagnoses over the years; In some cases it took more than 10 years until patients received the correct diagnosis after a frustrating doctor's marathon and were thus given a chance to be treated in accordance with the guidelines. So that the chronic course of the disease could at least be slowed down. With the therapeutic options that are now available, however, more and more AI patients have the chance of a pain-free and stress-free life. Not within a few days, but for the foreseeable future if they are willing to do something about it. The earlier the correct diagnosis is made, the better the chances. For this reason, it is also of immense importance that awareness of the disease continues to increase. Therefore, this series of books is also aimed at anyone who has repeatedly suffered from abscesses, "pimples", boils and fistulas within the last six months. And also to their relatives and friends. "In many years of being self-employed in my pharmacy, originally from my own concern (AI patient up to 13 years ago, or the last operation in 2010), my consulting focus on acne inversa developed and meant that I helped numerous people on their way Acne inversa and also from the AI was allowed to accompany. This knowledge should now be a help and hope for even more people. Since acne inversa develops multifactorially, it is often the "little things"... It is the recognition of individual triggers in combination with support from the "right" therapists (experienced specialists in dermatology and plastic surgery, naturopaths, psychologists, specialized wound centers) that paves the way to healing."
