Bestselling author Matt McCarthy, MD, offers an inside look at the often humbling and even heart-wrenching first year of medical residency. Now an associate professor of medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College in Manhattan, McCarthy shares his journey by capturing encounters with specific patients. Among them are the terrifying struggle to keep one critical care patient alive and the chance to soothe another with tales from his pre-medicine days as a minor league baseball player. Writing with honesty and humor, McCarthy delves into key concerns for young physicians, including the fine balance between a commitment to patients and the need for self-care.

Although a large literature has documented racial inequities in health care delivery, there continues to be debate about the potential sources of these inequities. Preliminary research suggests that racial inequities are embedded in the curricular edification of physicians and patients. We investigate this hypothesis by considering whether the race and skin tone depicted in images in textbooks assigned at top medical schools reflects the diversity of the U.S.
Population:Ā We analyzed 4146 images from Atlas of Human Anatomy, Bates' Guide to Physical Examination & History Taking, Clinically Oriented Anatomy, and Gray's Anatomy for Students by coding race (White, Black, and Person of Color) and skin tone (light, medium, and dark) at the textbook, chapter, and topic level. While the textbooks approximate the racial distribution of the U.S. population - 62.5% White, 20.4% Black, and 17.0% Person of Color - the skin tones represented - 74.5% light, 21% medium, and 4.5% dark - overrepresent light skin tone and underrepresent dark skin tone. There is also an absence of skin tone diversity at the chapter and topic level. Even though medical texts often have overall proportional racial representation this is not the case for skin tone. Furthermore, racial minorities are still often absent at the topic level. These omissions may provide one route through which bias enters medical treatment.
The Mutter Museum will have an exhibit of their collection of challenged and banned books during banned books week. If you live in or are visiting Philadelphia I am officially jealous!
The biography of Henrietta Lacks tells the true story of a black woman whose cells were taken for research in 1951 (without her knowledge) while she was in a hospital with cervical cancer; ultimately leading to major medical breakthroughs in medicine including the polio vaccine.
Physician Suicide Letters Answered by Pamela Wible M.D.
Reason: No reason was provided. A physician who had bought copies for all of their residents was told by their executive director to not hand them out. Someone was so intent on preventing the distribution of the books that they stole the copies from the resident work area. You can read more about the specific incident here.
This digitized collection of selected volumes of medical books and manuscripts, dating from 1300 to 1921, is drawn from the Medical Historical Library, Cushing/Whitney Medical Library. This collection reflects the Arabic and Persian intellectual efforts that translated, augmented, and transmitted Greek and Roman medical knowledge to Western societies during the Renaissance. It includes iconic works by authors such as Avicenna and al-Razi.
The Medical Historical Library, originally formed by the joining of three collections by bibliophiles Harvey Cushing, John Fulton, and Arnold Klebs, has over 120,000 volumes dating from the 12th to the 21st centuries. While primarily composed of works in Western medicine and science, a smaller selection of Arabic and Persian books and manuscripts are a "hidden collection" in the Library. Through the support of the Arcadia Fund, the Medical Historical Library was able to digitize Arabic and Persian books and manuscripts, as well as early translations in Latin, French, and English.
The appeal of collecting beautiful, old medical books is strong for many book collectors. Medicine has been practised - in one form or another - since the beginning of mankind and many of these practises have been documented in book form.
Some of the medical authors who are avidly collected include William Harvey (1578-1657) who discovered the circulation of blood, Thomas Willis (1621-1675) who coined the term neurology, Sir Charles Bell (1774-1842), a famous surgeon known for his books with gorgeous illustrations, Edward Jenner (1749-1823) who discovered the vaccination for smallpox and many other medical practitioners from years gone by.
According to Jeremy Norman's History of Science, an AbeBooks bookseller and one of the leading experts in the field of collecting rare medical books, "specialties in which collecting is currently popular include neurology and neurosurgery, ophthalmology, cardiology, dermatology, orthopedics, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pathology, plastic surgery, general surgery, otolaryngology, urology, and psychiatry." Jeremy Norman also notes that the history of anatomy and anatomical illustration is very appealling to collectors as many of the major anatomy books were illustrated by famous artists.
From anatomy to early methods of obstetrics to the study of phrenology, the Victorian pseudoscience of skull measurement, and the art of plastic surgery - these beautiful, collectible medical masterpieces would be a wonderful addition to any book collector's collection.
The Medical Historical Library, part of the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library, contains over 300 medical and scientific incunabula, which are books, broadsides, and pamphlets printed before 1501. These incredibly rare incunables represent the earliest history of printing in Europe and the first examples of medical knowledge circulated in printed form. Many of the incunables display elements of the print and manuscript world, including marginalia, historiated initials, and some of the earliest printed depictions of the human body, often derived from manuscript illustrations. The 44 incunables digitized in this project represent ones not found online anywhere. Topics include astrology, medicine, plague, anatomy, remedies, herbals and much more.
Please explore these incunables on the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library site on Internet Archive, as part of the Medical Heritage Library. You can also find other Arcadia-funded digitized texts, including medieval and Renaissance medical and scientific manuscripts, Yale Medical School theses and early Arabic and Persian books and manuscripts, in this collection.
I have been a family medicine faculty member for 40 years. In the last 10 years I have noticed that residents and students study primarily by question/review products and are very good at trivia and yes/no concepts but have very little sense of the overview of diseases that textbooks used to provide.
I have recently had a major issue with my medical school Alumni Association providing $25k / year for a pathology study guide! for all first year students!With the advent of Pass /fail in medical education for the first 2 years in many schools and in some schools all four years,all one has to do is pass(70%) to become a physician..Dr. Novak ,you are 100% ( not pass/ fail)correct regarding the lack of knowledge of basic medical knowledge..Thank you LCME and AAMC for putting what students want ( student centered as opposed to Knowledge centered and DEI centered above all else)This approach ( Student vs knowledge centered )began in the 1980s or so in elementary and accounts for the US pathetic academic levels in the world, made worse of course by the pandemic ..30% of US 8th graders are at grade level in reading and math)
Ā Forgive my tirade but I will stand by these comments.You are spot on in your assessment .
I get the satisfaction of gaining medical knowledge mainly through Medical Textbooks. How can our generation forget Bailey and Love, Harrison, Samson Wright, Gray Anatomy, And Parson?
The younger generation may please try it.
Amazing coincidence for me as I am changing office locations after 42 years in practice as an internist and was looking at my bookshelves with textbooks going back to medical school from 1975-1979 and trying to decide if I want to even take them with me. The only printed text I seem to ever use is my ancient neuro-anatomy text showing dermatomes which I show to patients with Herpes Zoster as if to confirm the diagnosis! I could show them this graphic easily on the computer screen but somehow I like to go to the shelf, pull out the textbook, and turn to the page showing the dermatomes. After reading this column I decided to take all of my books with me!!
Printed textbooks present information in an organized manner and serve as a one-stop shop. you have to read quite a lotof online resources with different access costs for you to research on one topic.
However, I have continued to wonder about the continued utility of textbooks for the third world. Even though smartphones are now ubiquitous, getting to an online medical text requires reliable internet service
After reading all of these comments I feel a little selfish holding on to textbooks I never use when someone else might benefit from them. Any suggestions on where and how to donate old texts other than a public library? If I give them to the library I fear no one will use them.
READ ACTIVELY AND CAREFULLY. Unlike other subject areas, you need to read everything in medical material. Do not skip anything. Read with a pen and a highlighter in your hand. Underline or highlight main ideas (only after reading the paragraph); circle important words or phrases; draw boxes around the names or persons or places that seem important; put a check mark in the margin next to any important statement or opinion; use numbers to indicate chronology or a series; use margins to write your own reactions; put a question mark in the margin when you don't understand. 0852c4b9a8
