Re: Good REading [HAPP-L]

<x-charset iso-8859-7>Dear Terry,

I sometimes assign material from "The Alarming History of Medicine" by Richard Gordon. The often amusing tone of the
book makes it easier for students to understand some historical elements about medicine and it frequently initiates
great discussions about medicine practice and discoveries. Beyond that I mostly focus on texts about science and
scientific thinking in general, not just medicine.

Hope this helps! Have a great one!

Friends, I'm considering offering a seminar course for our upper division
majors interested in life science/health care. The title of the seminar
will be something like "The science and art of medicine."
The goal of the course is to take students beyond primary literature in
the science and to understand some of the scientific underpinnings that
are used to make medical decisions. As well, their may be unconcentional
or other that may not relate to science that are equally important in the
successful practice of medicine.

 Can any of you recommend readings of any kind that would support a course
such as this?

thanks
