What do surgeons and salesmen have in common? Which annual event made people 30 percent more likely to contract COVID-19? As a University of Chicago-trained economist and Harvard medical school professor and doctor, Anupam Jena is uniquely equipped to answer these questions. And as a critical care doctor at Massachusetts General who researches health care policy, Christopher Worsham confronts its impact on the hospital's sickest patients. In this singular work of science and medicine, Jena and Worsham work together to reveal the hidden side of medicine, and its effect on everyone that touches the health care system. Relying on ingeniously devised natural experiments--random events that unknowingly turn us into experimental subjects--Jena and Worsham do more than offer readers colorful stories. They help us see the way our health is shaped by forces invisible to the untrained eye. Do you choose the veteran doctor or the rookie? Do you take the appointment on Monday or on Friday? Do you get the procedure now or wait a week? These questions are rife with significance; their impact can be life changing. In a style that's animated and enlightening, this book empowers you to see past the white coat and find out what really makes medicine work-and how it could work better"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 616.0072 Je Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.0072 Jena Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.0072 Je Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.0072 Je Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.0072 Je Checked In Add Copy to MyList
