Americans are suffering from chronic disease, and our healthcare system can’t save us. Sometimes it makes us worse. In fact, we don’t have a healthcare system in this country—we have a four-trillion-dollar sickcare system that profits off people struggling with chronic disease.
Primary care doctors are responsible for keeping us healthy, but our primary care system is broken. Worse, the policies and science that led to great medical advances in the past are insufficient to help in the future. Nothing seems to be working. But a paradigm shift is underway that is about to change everything.
In Dying to Save You, Dr. William Queale takes you behind the scenes of our sickcare system. He uses deeply personal stories to explain how we got here and how systems thinking can get us out. But Dying to Save You isn’t just about medicine, science, and healthcare policy. This book is about you—and how you can stay out of the sickcare system altogether.
Dr. Catherine 'Cathy' DeAngelis has shattered numerous glass ceilings in medicine for herself and generations of women she's mentored. Raised in 1940s hardscrabble Pennsylvania coal mining country, Cathy's unyielding determination and indomitable self-belief steamrolled medicine's entrenched sexism. In a life filled with 'firsts,' she was named the first woman Editor-in-Chief of JAMA
the Journal of the American Medical Association. Her six-decade career includes being one of the first female professors at the preeminent Johns Hopkins University and first Chair of their Pediatrics Division; Chair of the American Board of Pediatrics; and selection to the National Academy of Medicine, considered to be American Medicine's Hall-of-Fame. Cathy's insight, leadership, sharp wit, and compassionate nature continue to make her a leading voice in the fight for gender equity, ensuring that women in medicine get the same opportunities and pay as their male peers. This is Dr. De's amazing story, her life's journey, in her own words.
