    Week 2 Discussion: Corporate interest in medicine

    In Starr’s book, Starr argues that the cultural authority of the medical profession broke down in the 60’s and 70’s, and that today “corporate medicine” is in full bloom. What were the leading factors he believes promoted the rise of corporate interest in medicine? What are some of the implications of a corporate medical system for health care in the U.S. today?,

    Many believe that the Tuskegee Syphilis case provides a shameful illustration of how society’s attitudes towards race direly impacted medical care for African Americans. Without justifying the abuse that occurred, what were some of the historical considerations that should be noted when analyzing the Tuskegee experiment? How does this inform current “best practices” in medicine?,

    In what ways do the themes developed in The Doctor reflect modern tension between physicians, physician groups, interns, specialists, hospitals, and patient care?,
    Write a brief reflective piece in which you assess topics we have discussed over the semester, and think about which ones you believe have made the most impact on how you view medicine.

    You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

    Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

    Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

    The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
