Sommario/riassunto |
|
In 1961, President Kennedy named Edwin O. Reischauer the U.S. Ambassador to Japan. Already deeply intimate with the country, Reischauer hoped to establish a more equal partnership with Japan, which had long been maligned in the American imagination. Reischauer pushed his fellow citizens to abandon caricature and stereotype and recognize Japan as a peace-loving democracy. Though his efforts were often condemned for being "too soft," the immensity of his influence (and the truth of his arguments) can be felt today. Having worked as Reischauer's special assistant in Tokyo, George R. Packard writes the definitiveand firstbiography of this rare, charismatic talent. Reischauer reset the balance between two powerful nations. During World War II, he analyzed intelligence and trained American |

codebreakers in Japanese. He helped steer Japan toward democracy and then wrote its definitive English-language history. Reischauer's scholarship supplied the foundations for future East Asian disciplines, and his prescient research foretold America's missteps with China and involvement in Vietnam. At the time of his death in 1990, Reischauer warned the U.S. against adopting an attitude toward Asia that was too narrow and self-centered. India, Pakistan, and North Korea are now nuclear powers, and Reischauer's political brilliance has become more necessary and trenchant than ever. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"During author's 33 years as a small animal internal medicine specialist interacting with patients, clients, associates, practice owners, technicians, and referring veterinarians, and teaching students and interns, he realized that there is an absence of principles or strategies to guide veterinary practitioners in the process of rational decision-making on behalf of patients. This sometimes results in decisions which, when examined retrospectively, appear to be irrational, or difficult to justify based on information in medical records. In author's experience, each hospital has a unique culture or philosophy of practice which profoundly influences the way in which its clinicians make decisions. These influences are known as the "hidden curriculum," where clinicians are implicitly expected to adopt systems and protocols that align with the philosophy of the practice. For example, whether a specific practice customarily sends patients home shortly after routine surgery or keeps these cases in the hospital overnight. Some practices encourage their clients to pursue diagnoses while others prioritize therapeutic trials. To mitigate cognitive dissonance and interpersonal conflicts, most clinicians unknowingly modify their behaviors to align with each hospital's expectations. This process of doing what is expected of you or what your employer has done preceding you, is quite understandable. But when scrutinized, this practice tends to diminish care uniquely tailored to each client and patient in lieu of adhering to historical precedents or hospital-based protocols. Such behaviors are often justified by statements such as "That's the way we've always done it." These arguments delay a willingness to embrace new scientific evidence or practice in accord with evolving societal expectations. Many of these expected actions also conflict with what veterinary students have been taught are evidence-based approaches to practice"-- |
