  • Entanglements of Eugenics, Public Health, and Academic Medicine

    Joel D Howell, Laura Hirshbein et al.ARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2022

    Victor C. Vaughan (1851-1929) was a noted medical educator, microbiologist, and active proponent for the idea of eugenics.

  • Paradoxes of professional autonomy

    Open AccessMichael Rozier, Charley Willison et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2020Referências: 5

    The professional autonomy of physicians often requires they take responsibility for life and death decisions, but they must also find ways to avoid bearing the full weight of such decisions. We conducted in‐person, semi‐structured interviews with neonatologists (n = 20) in four waves between 1978 and 2017 in a single Midwestern U.S. city. Using open coding analysis, we found over time that neonatologists described changes in their sense of profes…

    In 1932 the county seat of Macon County, Alabama -the small town of Tuskegee -was one of the poorest towns in the United States. It was (and remains) an area marked by old plantations, sawmills, beautiful forests, and hard-scrabble living for the predominately African-American population. In 1932 they made their living as sharecroppers, picking cotton in the surrounding fields for a median income of USD 1 per day. A 1929 study found a high incide…

Most histories of US medical institutions …
