Twelve Patients
In the spirit of Oliver Sacks and the inspiration for the NBC drama New Amsterdam, this intensely involving memoir from a Medical Director of Bellevue Hospital looks poignantly at patients' lives and highlights the complex mind-body connection. Using the plights of twelve very different patients--from dignitaries at the nearby UN, to supermax prisoners at Riker's Island, to illegal immigrants, and Wall Street tycoons--Dr. Eric Manheimer "offers far more than remarkable medical dramas: he blends each patient's personal experiences with their social implications" (Publishers Weekly). Manheimer is not only the medical director of the country's oldest public hospital, but he is also a patient. As the book unfolds, the narrator is diagnosed with cancer, and he is forced to wrestle with the end of his own life even as he struggles to save the lives of others.
High Quality Care for All

A History of Britain's Hospitals
"Hospital superbugs are nothing new. For centuries patients were more likely to die from an infection picked up in hospital than from their original disease. Indeed, hospitals used to be called 'gateways of death'. Massaging league tables by concentrating on minor operations? Not a recent innovation, either. At one time, hospitals refused to admit patients likely to die, and never attempted major surgery." "Barry and Lesley Carruthers provide many such startling parallels in their fascinating look at the development of Britain's hospitals, from a Roman field hospital to the keyhole surgery of today. There are also wonderful stories of individual dedication, such as the GP who found a girl dy...
Human Relations and Hospital Care
Originally published in 1964, this book describes the hospital service as it is seen by patients. It is based mainly on interviews with a random sample of patients and discusses the relationships between patients and between them and hospital doctors, nurses, and general practitioners. The best available medical care should not only be given, but the patient and his relatives should feel that this has been given. Explanations need to be seen not as a lavish appendage, but as an integral part of medical care. Recognition and acceptance of this responsibility could stimulate interest in patients' social lives, so that hospital staff become more aware of the difficulties patients may encounter when they leave hospital. This in turn could lead to greater integration between the hospital and welfare services and between the hospital and the general practitioners. Still relevant today this study can now be read in its historical context.
