Dread

Story
The average individual is far more likely to die in a car accident than from a communicable disease...yet we are still much more fearful of the epidemic. Even at our most level-headed, the thought of an epidemic can inspire terror. As Philip Alcabes persuasively argues in Dread, our anxieties about epidemics are created not so much by the germ or microbe in question - or the actual risks of contagion - but by the unknown, the undesirable, and the misunderstood.

Story
Technological innovation is deeply woven into the fabric of American culture, and is no less a basic feature of American health care. Medical technology saves lives and relieves suffering, and is enormously popular with the public, profitable for doctors, and a source of great wealth for industry. Yet its costs are rising at a dangerously unsustainable rate. The control of technology costs poses a terrible ethical and policy dilemma. How can we deny people what they may need to live and flourish?

The ability to heal is not reserved for a gifted few. Anyone aching to ease the suffering of a sick friend or loved one can learn to become unconditionally present to the sick person rather than to the disease.

Story
A vibrant young Hispano woman, Shonnie Medina, inherits a breast-cancer mutation known as BRCA1.185delAG. It is a genetic variant characteristic of Jews. The Medinas knew they were descended from Native Americans and Spanish Catholics, but they did not know that they had Jewish ancestry as well. The mutation most likely sprang from Sephardic Jews hounded by the Spanish Inquisition. The discovery of the gene leads to a fascinating investigation of cultural history and modern genetics by Dr. Harry Ostrer and other experts on the DNA of Jewish populations.

Story
Sono organi raffinatissimi e delicati: sintetizzano, inventano, determinano il miracolo della vita. Sono i nostri polmoni, leggeri e preziosi, la loro attività non si può fermare nemmeno il tempo necessario per curarli, perché nessuno sopravvive senza ossigeno, nessuno può stare più di pochi minuti senza respirare. Quando un nuovo virus sconosciuto e letale ha cominciato a insidiare proprio i polmoni, ci siamo accorti che la maggior parte di noi li conosce pochissimo: come funzionano, cosa occorre per mantenerli in salute e cosa li mette in crisi?

Wenn Metin nach Feierabend mal wieder an seine Kühlschranktür klopft, weiß er, dass an diesem Tag sehr viele Patient*innen nach ihm gerufen haben – Er ist Krankenpfleger durch und durch, und ohne diese Leidenschaft geht das in seinen Augen auch gar nicht. Denn das kaputtgesparte Gesundheitssystem, der stressige Klinikalltag und die mangelnde Wertschätzung machen seinen Job zu einer Herausforderung. Doch die Patient*innen stehen immer an erster Stelle und das Team hält zusammen.

Story
El 13 de enero de 2020, Salvador Illa tomaba posesión de su nuevo cargo: Ministro de Sanidad. Ese mismo día, en la otra punta del mundo, las alertas empezaban a sonar en Wuhan. Transcurrido un tiempo prudencial y superada ya una de las peores crisis sanitarias de la historia, toca hacer balance y dar cuenta de lo acaecido. Esta es una crónica en primera persona de un año que transcurrió a un ritmo frenético, un libro que nos sumerge en la trastienda del poder, una pequeña sala de crisis desde la que se lideró y coordinó el trabajo de cientos de profesionales y en la que fue imposible aislarse de la gravedad y de la tensión con la que se vivía en España esos días.
