This book is unique among medical anthologies in that readers can look up medical topics as they appear in fiction.  It analyses sources of conflict such as the fee the doctor's perceived lack of time annoying bedside mannerisms and poor communication.  Differences between authors' perceptions and what happens in the real world are highlighted.  The choice of passages is based on clinical relevance and the range of subjects and quotations are generally not found in other texts. This work brings together some 1500 passages from approximately 600 works of literature to provide a major reference source to identify and analyse recurring themes in the portrayal of medical doctors and to provide pleasure for readers who use it for browsing. 'Dr Posen has had to pick widely and carefully. What he offers is a full range of judgments. Why should those of us who are physicians look at what Dr Posen has placed before us? If we know how we are seen by the rest of the world we may be more likely to conduct ourselves so as to demonstrate the value of what we profess. Among his readers should also be physicians-to-be medical students and it can speak to a much wider audience: patients parents nurses politicians economists and historians.'

What role does information and evidence on cost and effectiveness play? . How are institutions contributing to priority setting? . What are the lessons for policy makers?  Priority setting in health care is an issue of increasing importance. Choices about the use of health care budgets are inescapable and difficult. A number of countries have sought to strengthen their approach to priority setting by drawing on research-based evidence on the cost and effectiveness of different treatments. This book brings together leading experts in the field to summarize and analyse the experience of priority setting in five countries: Canada, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom. Drawing on literature from a range of disciplines, it makes a significant contribution to the debate on the role of information and institutions in priority setting.   Reasonable Rationing has been written with a broad readership in mind. It will be of interest to policy makers, health care professionals and health service managers, as well as students of health and social policy at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate levels.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49632742375697,"sku":"GOR008406249","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49669313560849,"sku":"GOR002260298","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0335211852.jpg?v=1751133558"},{"product_id":"reasonable-rationing-book-chris-ham-9780335211869","title":"Reasonable Rationing","description":"\"Reasonable Rationing is must reading for those interested in how to connect theory about fair rationing processes to country-level practices.
