Wednesday --Epilogue --Notes --Acknowledgments --IndexIntensive Care is an affecting view from the trenches, a seasoned doctor's minute-by-minute and day-by-day account of life in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a major inner-city hospital, San Francisco General. John F. Murray, for many years Chief of the Pulmonary and Critical Care Division of the hospital and a Professor at the University of California, San Francisco, takes readers on his daily ward rounds, introducing them to the desperately ill patients he treats as well as to the young physicians and medical students who accompany him. Writing with compassion and knowledge accumulated over a long career, Murray presents the true stories of patients who show up with myriad disorders: asthma, cardiac failure, gastrointestinal diseases, complications due to AIDS, the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, emphysema. Readers will come away from this book with a comprehensive understanding of what an ICU is, what it does, who gets admitted, and how doctors and nurses make decisions concerning life-threatening medical problems. Intensive care for critically ill patients is a new but well-established and growing branch of medicine. Estimates suggest that 15 to 20 percent of all hospitalized patients in the United States are treated in an intensive or coronary care unit during each hospital stay, so there is a real possibility that the reader will either be admitted to an ICU himself or herself or knows someone who will be. Murray not only offers a real-time account of the diagnosis, treatment, and progress of his patients over the course of one month but also conveys a wealth of information about various diseases and medical procedures in succinct and easy-to-understand terms. In addition, he elaborates on ethical dilemmas that he confronts on an almost daily basis: the extent of patient autonomy, the denial of ICU care, the withdrawal of life support, and physician-assisted suicide. Murray concludes that ICUs are doing their job, but they could be even better, cheaper, and--most important--more humane. His chronicle brings substance to a world known to most of us only through the fiction of television.Intensive care unitsAnecdotesCritical care medicineAnecdotesaids.alcohol abuse.asthma.cardiac failure.coronary care.critical care.diagnosis.disease.doctors.drug abuse.ethics.gastrointestinal disease.health and wellness.heart health.hospital life.hospital.humane.icu.medical issues.medical problems.medical procedures.medical professionals.medical system.medical.pulmonary care.san francisco.treatment.Intensive care unitsCritical care medicine362.1/74Murray John F(John Frederic),1927-2020.101559MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783067303321Intensive care3778078UNINA03975nam 2200469 450 991082339550332120230126214649.00-309-44355-50-309-44353-9(CKB)3710000000865222(MiAaPQ)EBC4690554(EXLCZ)99371000000086522220161006h20162016 uy| 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierThe private sector as a catalyst for health equity and a vibrant economy proceedings of a workshop /Karen M.

Such contributions presuppose an intentional focus on achieving the highest levels of health possible, which requires that conditions in communities, schools, workplaces, and other settings promote health and address the social determinants of health for all community members. Many organizations, in both the private and public sectors, have been establishing partnerships to further healthy workplaces and health equity in general. Many are taking the lead in producing economic growth that is inclusive and responsive to the nation's diverse needs and populations. Increasingly, private-public partnerships are emerging as ways of doing business. Additionally, a variety of new developments in health, health care, and community benefits obligations that are part of the Affordable Care Act have contributed to this interest in economic growth and health and in the creation of new partnerships. To examine past successes and future opportunities, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop in November 2015. The workshop focused on the potential of the private sector to produce a triple bottom line: economic opportunity (including workforce development) and growth, healthy work and community environments, and improved employee health. At the same time, participants looked beyond the private sector to public-private partnerships and to public-sector actions that combine opportunities for economic growth and good health for all.
