A propos de cet article

New York:: Rugged Land, 2004. A bright, shiny, clean, square, tight copy. The Dust Jacket is NOT price clipped (24.95, on rear panel). No chips. No tears. No creases. No remainder mark. Pages are fresh, crisp, and unmarked -- probably never read. Illustrated with 8 pages of photos. Endnotes. Index. Bound in the original glossy white boards, lettered in blood red. From the Dust Jacket: "Each year doctors and nurses kill nearly one hundred thousand Americans. By mistake. They operate on the wrong patients, prescribe the wrong drugs, and leave instruments inside body cavities after surgery. Meanwhile, hospitals spend billions on new gadgets, marble lobbies, and slick billboards even as safety continues to be ignored. Until now. INTERNAL BLEEDING exposes the dark secrets behind the glistening facade of modern medicine. Doctors Robert Wachter and Kaveh Shojania, professors at one of America's leading medical schools and two of the world's foremost authorities on medical mistakes, shatter the silence to tell the dramatic and compelling stories of real patients betrayed by a system they trusted to save them. Through these stories, the authors reveal the inner workings, gut-wrenching dilemmas, and heartbreaking tragedies of our overburdened, understaffed health care system. INTERNAL BLEEDING provides an insider's view of how professional caregivers think, feel, and operate -- facts that every patient and family must know to avoid becoming just another 'mistake.' In the groundbreaking tradition of FAST FOOD NATION, INTERNAL BLEEDING paints a vivid and unforgettable picture of a system gone terribly wrong, and what doctors, nurses, hospital CEOs, and policy makers must do to make it right." . INSCRIBED / SIGNED by Dr. Wachter. Hard Cover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. 8vo. 441pp.…

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
