Críticas

'Technologies have made modern medicine what it has become today. They are simultaneously the tools which permit many of the miracles of medical care to be carried out while at the same time depersonalizing the process, distancing the patient and his or her physician. This book, The Machine at the Bedside, is about health care technology - its creation, its dissemination, and its application. It is clearly written, interesting, and right on target. It will help all health professionals to think more deeply about the place of technologies in our system of medical care and how to use them in a restrained and discriminating manner. A most important book on some central issues facing medicine during the coming decades.' David E. Rogers, M.D., President, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

'Both good public policy and good medical decisions become more likely when they are informed by the best information and analysis. The Machine at the Bedside is the most thoughtful approach extant on the range of issues involved in how we as a society appropriately develop and use the fascinating machines of medicine. Drs. Reiser and Anbar have assembled a panoply of contributors whose careers have been bent toward critically examining and improving what it is we physicians do to and for patients. In an era of cost containment, together they help inform decision-making to be more medically effective and to be sensitive to ethical, legal, and economic imperatives.' John R. Ball, M.D., J.D., Associate Executive Vice President, Health and Public Policy, American College of Physicians

'With high technology making medical care more complex, more effective, and more costly, the role of the machine at the bedside must be comprehended by both medical students and physicians. This book provides insights into both the opportunities and problems that high technology medicine has created.' August G. Swanson, M. D., Director, Department of Academic Affairs, Association of American Medical Colleges
