![]() ![]() Written by two physicians who have witnessed the decline of medical expertise over the last twenty years, this data-driven book interweaves heart-rending true patient stories with hard data, showing how patients have been sacrificed for profit by the substitution of non-physician practitioners. While advocates for these professions insist that research shows that they can provide the same care as physicians, patients do not know the whole truth: that there are no credible scientific studies to support the safety and efficacy of non-physicians practicing without physician supervision. ![]() With the rate of nurse practitioner and physician assistant graduates exceeding that of physician graduates, if you are not already being treated by a non-physician, chances are, you soon will be. ![]() This is a story that has not yet been told, and one that has dangerous repercussions for all Americans. As corporations seek to save money and government agencies aim to increase constituent access, minimum qualifications for the guardians of our nation’s healthcare continue to decline-with deadly consequences. Patients at Risk: The Rise of the Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant in Healthcare exposes a vast conspiracy of political maneuvering and corporate greed that has led to the replacement of qualified medical professionals by lesser trained practitioners. ![]() ![]() ![]() Goldie's one of them.Įven with her "townie" background, Goldie has never felt more at home at camp and now she’s back as a counselor, desperate for summer to start and her best friends, Ava and Imogen, to arrive. ![]() ![]() Few Roxwood locals, though, get to reap the rewards of living so close to the glam summer that camp, with its five-figure tuition and rich kids who have been dumped there for eight weeks by their powerful parents.

Of the great and extensive interests of the country he is altogether incapable of judging.’ Anyone who has dined recently with a Cabinet Minister will know that it is not just the labourer who is thus incapable. The labourer, Smith writes, is ‘not only incapable of relishing or bearing a part in any rational conversation, but of conceiving any generous, noble or tender sentiment, and consequently of forming any just judgment concerning many even of the ordinary duties of private life. ![]() The division of labour, whose language is money, helps us to prosperity and liberty but at the price of atomising our picture of the world.

That the bully who is making your life miserable will one day become so insignificant that you won't remember his name until he shows up at your book signing?

Alas, we cannot see them perform, though for centuries artists have provided iconic images, capturing the seemingly unattainable idea of the actor as artist improvising plays to create an indelible comic form. Commedia actors and their characters are now the stuff of theatrical legend as a result of their mastery of improv and the fundamental human situations and interactions their improvised plays depicted.
