Beschreibung:
Dr. Thomas Hardtmuth, MD, born in 1956, is a physician and freelance writer. He studied medicine in Munich and works as a senior physician specializing in thoracic surgery at the Heidenheim Clinic. Dr. Hardtmuth lectures and leads seminars in the field of medical and anthropological issues. His publications include Das verborgene Ich: Aspekte zum Verständnis der Krebskrankheit (The hidden "I" Aspects of understanding cancer), 2003 and Denkfehler. Das Dilemma der Hirnforschung (Errors in thinking: The dilemma of brain research), 2006.
In this book, Dr. Thomas Hardtmuth chronicles the takeover of the medical field by private companies and corporations over recent decades, bringing a profit motive into healthcare--to such an extent that there is growing alienation between the helping professions and their own identity. Human care, attention, and appropriate help are hindered increasingly by the specifications and supposed constraints of economic logic and rationality.
