Over the next few weeks we’ll be exploring aspects of health care in the twentieth century: the post-Flexner, vaccine-and-antibiotic era in which a gigantic industry of health care began to flourish – and during which the medical profession’s opposition to centralized health care emerged with a vengeance. <\/p>\n

For Wednesday, April 3rd – your Disease Report papers are due, but also: please bring Rutkow’s book and be ready to talk about chapters 8 and 9. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Hear Ronald Reagan in his 10 minute LP recording<\/a> from the AMA’s “Operation Coffee Cup” 1961 lobbying effort (never mind the images, just listen to the recording) <\/p>\n

Listen to the 1948 “Truth or Consequences” episode<\/a> introducing the original “Jimmy” of the Jimmy Fund<\/p>\n

Next week we’ll read a short, but gripping, historical and medical detective book delving into the abandoned suitcases of inmates (is that the right word?) at a big New York mental hospital in the 1920s-1950s. I think you’ll really enjoy reading it and considering its thought-provoking depiction of care for the mentally ill. Read chapters 1-6 of The Lives They Left Behind<\/em> for Monday, April 8th and Chapters 7-Epilogue for Wednesday, April 10th. I’ll then hand out a prompt for the third response paper, due on Wed 4\/17. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
