Caring for Patients From Different Cultures
Geri-Ann Galanti
Third Edition
What happens when a Cherokee patient summons a medicine man to the hospital, or when an Anglo nurse refuses to take orders from a Japanese doctor? Why do Asian patients rarely ask for pain medication, while Mediterranean patients seem to seek relief for even the slightest discomfort?
If the goal of the American medical system is to provide optimal care for all patients, healthcare providers must understand cultural differences that create conflicts and misunderstandings and can result in inferior medical care.
Caring for Patients from Different Cultures contains over 200 case studies illustrating cross-cultural misunderstanding and culturally competent healthcare. The chapters cover a diverse range of topics, including birth, end of life, traditional medicine, mental health, pain, religion and multicultural staff issues.

The Stone Problems of Urinary Bladder and the Bladder Incision
This book highlights Vincenz Kern's life work to transform surgery from a craft to a science--documenting the birth of endourology--and includes several of Kern's published descriptions on bladder stones and lithotomy.
The debate lithotomy versus lithotripsy, Kern versus Civiale, is not only a final example of a traditional academic dispute, but also documents the birth of a new specialty, endourology. Surprisingly, the reduced invasiveness of the new method--not "cutting for the stone" by employing new technology--is not debated. The main driving force for the victory march of minimally invasive procedures, namely the viewpoint of the patient, is here totally neglected. This raises the controversy from an academic dispute of mere historic interest to a fine example of a high-level, but misdirected experts' debate.
