No apparent distress : a doctor's coming-of-age on the front lines of American medicine / Rachel Pearson. by Pearson, Rachel, 1983- author. New York : W.W. Norton & Company, c2017. Subjects Medical students.   Medical education.   Health care rationing.   Sociobiology. ISBN:  9780393249248 (hardcover) : 0393249247 (hardcover) Description:  260 pages ; 25 cm Edition:  First edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  In medical charts, the term "N.A.D." (No Apparent Distress) is used for patients who appear stable. The phrase also aptly describes America's medical system when it comes to treating the underprivileged. Medical students learn on the bodies of the poor--and the poor suffer from their mistakes. Rachel Pearson confronted these harsh realities when she started medical school in Galveston, Texas. Pearson, herself from a working-class background, remains haunted by the suicide of a close friend, experiences firsthand the heartbreak of her own errors in a patient's care, and witnesses the ruinous effects of a hurricane on a Texas town's medical system. In a free clinic where the motto is "All Are Welcome Here," she learns how to practice medicine with love and tenacity amidst the raging injustices of a system that favors the rich and the white.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.1 Pe Transit Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.1 Pe Checked In Add Copy to MyList
