Download No Apparent Distress: A Doctor’s Coming-of-Age on the Front Lines of American Medicine AudioBook Free
In medical graphs, the word "N.A.D." (No Apparent Distress) is utilized for patients who seem stable. The saying also aptly identifies America's medical system as it pertains to treating the underprivileged. Medical students learn on the bodies of the poor - and the poor have problems with their mistakes. Rachel Pearson confronted these tough realities when she began medical school in Galveston, Tx. Pearson, herself from a working-class backdrop, remains haunted by the suicide of your close friend, activities firsthand the heartbreak of her own errors in a patient's treatment, and witnesses the ruinous ramifications of a hurricane on the Tx town's medical system. In No Apparent Problems, she chronicles her activities and the raging disparities in a system that favors the wealthy and the white. That is at once an indictment of American health care and a deeply moving tale of one doctor's coming-of-age.
