Requests:  0 Summary:  "A radical new understanding of how medicine is best practiced, from the award-winning author of God's Hotel. Over the years that Victoria Sweet has been a physician, "healthcare" has replaced medicine, "providers" look at their laptops more than at their patients, and costs keep soaring, all in the ruthless pursuit of efficiency. Yet the remedy that economists and policy makers continue to miss is also miraculously simple. Good medicine takes more than amazing technology; it takes time--time to respond to bodies as well as data, time to arrive at the right diagnosis and the right treatment. Sweet knows this because she has learned and lived it over the course of her career. Here she relates unforgettable stories of the teachers, doctors, nurses, and patients through whom she discovered the practice of Slow Medicine, in which she has been a pioneer. Medicine, she makes us see, is a craft and an art as well as a science. It is relational, personal, even spiritual. To do it well requires a hard-won wisdom that no algorithm can replace--that brings together "fast" and "slow" in a truly effective, efficient, sustainable, and humane way of healing"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 610 Sweet Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 610 Sw Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 610 Sw Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 610 Sw Checked In Add Copy to MyList
