著者について

Pauline W. Chen, a liver transplant and liver cancer surgeon, is the author of Final Exam: A Surgeon’s Reflections on Mortality (Knopf, 2007; Vintage, 2008), a New York Times bestseller that is being translated and sold in a dozen countries across the world.

Dr. Chen graduated from Harvard University and Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine and completed her surgical training at Yale University, the National Cancer Institute (National Institutes of Health), and the University of California, Los Angeles, where she was most recently a faculty member in the Department of Surgery. In 1999, she was named the U.C.L.A. Outstanding Physician of the Year.

Dr. Chen, whose work has been nominated for a National Magazine Award, has written for a number of publications, including The Virginia Quarterly Review, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Prevention Magazine. She also speaks regularly to medical and general audiences across the country, including more recently the Association of American Medical Colleges and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.

5つ星のうち5.0 Beautifully written essays on important issues
2010年1月3日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
This is the inaugural edition of the Best American Medical Writing. I sincerely hope that the series will continue. The introduction by editor Pauline Chen (herself a wonderful writer) was, all by itself, worth the price of admission. Here, as she describes the affinity between the cadences of music and writing, she shows herself to be a most excellent and sensitive candidate to have edited this first collection. The essays themselves range broadly in tone, topic matter and texture, as they are written by clinicians, journalists, and patients. Chen, being a physician, seems to have wanted to make sure that this collection would not be dominated by writings by doctors, and made sure that the perspectives of patients and their caregivers had ample representation. All of the essays are quite fine in their different ways, and worth reading. The only request that I would make is to append a list of the 100 or so other pieces that were assembled for consideration by the main editor, but which failed to make it into the collection. Some of the other "best of . . ." collections include a list like this and I have found that many of these "also-ran's" made fine reading. Was a bit surprised to see that Atul Gawande was not represented in this collection but trust that I can look forward to seeing something of his next year.

5つ星のうち1.0 bully on progressivism; on medicine, not so much
2011年7月9日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
S: The essays in The Best American Medical Writing 2009 lacked the originality and interest associated with the "Best American ... Writing" series. The topic, for example, of contagious cancer in Tasmanian devils is one I've seen on the web and in print several times previously. The article on using virtual reality to treat PTSD doesn't delve into the hows and whys enough to do more at the end than leave the reader with a piece of trivia: "they are using virtual reality to treat PTSD." Although guest editor Pauline Chen makes the old analogy between prose and music, she reveals herself to have something of a tin ear, choosing articles that sound like literary attempts by journalists or that simply fail. An article from Glamour magazine written in the first-person is so riddled with "I"s that the pages look like streams of binary code. Judged on its writing, the best article in the book is by Alok Khorana, an Indian immigrant whose contribution reads like a model of English essay composition compared with the other articles, including just the right amount of self-revelation, humor, reflection, etc, written at just the write length, and with actual literary prose. (Having been educated in India, I suspect he received a much better and more traditional training in English composition than the American writers.)

O: Of 23 articles, there are 3 articles about gender, 2 articles about the environment, and 1 each about race, class, sexual orientation, immigration, health insurance, and the war in Iraq. There is also an article touting electronic medical records and central planning in health care, which are progressive issues within the health care community. There are two articles on AIDS (although these duplicate the ones on race and sexuality). Of the remaining articles, 2 deal with mental health, 2 deal with mis-diagnoses, 2 with the patient experience, 2 with care-giving/nursing, 2 with medical research, and the last focuses on the problem of drug addiction among doctors. Other than actual professional journals, the articles have been chosen from the New York Times (3), the New Yorker (2), New York Magazine (2), the New York Review of Books, the American Prospect (2), Harper's, Glamour, the New Republic, Tufts Magazine, Philadelphia Magazine, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and Newsweek (2).

A: The articles in this book comprise a tour of progressivist topics and concerns, as well as progressivist thinking in medicine. They have been chosen to fit quotas and not on the basis of their merit as writing about the practice of medicine. The articles have been chosen to "educate the public," not only the reading public but also the writing and editing public, about what and how to think about health care in the US rather than being chosen to shed light on medical practice. Although not all without merit, as a collection the essays fail. They don't actually educate the public so much as re-inforce establishment opinion. The reviewer above who said that the articles were challenging to the medical establishment was incorrect as the two that show a dark side to medicine portray irresponsible and self-destructive doctors who are dealt with fairly by the legal system as victims.

P: Although there are some worthy articles, I cannot recommend this book to readers. As of the writing of this review, no subsequent volumes in this series have been produced. What more can I add?

5つ星のうち5.0 Great Collection of Essays
2009年12月3日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
This is a well-rounded collection of essays related to the medical field. Read Tom McGrath's story "My Daughter's $29,000 Appendectomy" to get an idea of how medical costs come about, read Jason Zengerle's piece "Going Under" to find out about drug use among Anesthesiologists, read Jessica Sacks' piece on the unintended consequences of the pervasive use of Antibiotics. All stories provide fascinating reading and insight into a field most of us try to have as little contact as possible with. I was unable to put this book down.

To my surprise, the essays were varied, interesting, and informative. I recommend the collection highly. Only one essay was really poorly edited; on the whole, the book was an engrossing and very worthwhile read.
