Teaching the physical examination by context and by integrating hand-held ultrasound devices
Although practiced to this day, teaching the ‘head-to-toe’ physical examination (PE) does not appear to fully achieve its objective, and since the 1970s, there have been proposals to replace the traditional teaching of the head-to-toe examination by a selective PE aimed at testing diagnostic hypotheses; by a core PE to be supplemented by additional maneuvers as clinically indicated; and by limiting the number of PE maneuvers to be taught. The nee…
The blood libel trials in Vratsa and Yambol, Bulgaria (1891–1903)
During 1878–1918, blood libels triggered frequent antisemitic riots throughout Bulgaria. In two towns, Vratsa (1891) and Yambol (1899), Jews were charged with murder and kidnapping, respectively, and tried and acquitted. In this paper, I examine two archival documents that address these events to add nuance to our understandings of how the variety of antisemitisms played out in particular lived, historical contexts. The first document is a 235-pa…
Physicians' Attitudes Toward Litigation and Defensive Practice
The authors' threefold purpose in this article was to (a) propose a model of the relationship between the emotional aspects of physicians' attitudes to medical errors (e.g., fear of litigation) and their functional consequences (e.g., tendency to defensive practice); (b) develop a measure of some of these attitudes; and (c) provide empirical support for some of the relationships in the model. Medical students and physicians responded to a questio…
Tolerance of Uncertainty of Medical Students and Practicing Physicians
BACKGROUND: Tolerance of uncertainty is believed to be an important attribute of practicing physicians. This study attempts to (1) estimate how medical students perceive physicians' tolerance of uncertainty and (2) measure the tolerance of uncertainty of practicing physicians. RESEARCH DESIGN: Cross-sectional. SETTING AND SUBJECTS: Medical students (n = 113) and practicing physicians (n = 151) at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Ben-Gurion Univers…
From socialist principles to motorcycle maintenance
For more than 70 years, physicians in the Israeli health care system have been employed on a fixed salary rather than on a fee-for-service basis. The present report is a brief review of the origin and development of this unique salaried physician model and its effect on the terms of physicians' employment. Archival documents were reviewed. The salaried physician model was introduced to ensure egalitarian health care for patients rather than equal…
Smoking cessation and body mass index of occupationally active men
OBJECTIVES: This study estimated weight gain after smoking cessation and identified factors attenuating this gain. METHODS: We conducted a prospective follow-up of 1209 male factory workers for 2 to 4 years. The independent variables were smoking habits. age, sports activity, education, alcohol consumption, ethnicity, duration of follow-up, and body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) at entry. The dependent variable was increase in BMI during follow-up. RES…
Patients' Preferences for Participation in Clinical Decision Making
Researchers' Access to Stored Medical Data
Case 1. A retrospective study of all cases with Polymyositis-Dermatomyositis (PM-DM, a rare skin disease) is performed by reviewing the records of all hospitals in Israel. The anticipated total number of cases with PM-DM in the last 30 years does not exceed 100. Should these patients be asked to consent to such a study? Should the relatives of the deceased patients be contacted for consent? Should the
