Your first dose of Medicine & Culture

Hello, everybody. I hope you're coping with the heat.
Choice Readers will meet again in two weeks (August 27).

Our target is page 73, which is a little less than half, but the first half contains all the
introductory parts before the chapter on "western" medicine in France.

In the second half (which we'll finish reading by October 1, I hope), the author
discusses "western" medicine in Germany, the UK, and the USA. The final
summing-up chapter before the notes  (which you do not have to read) is very
short. But that's where the comparisons get really
interesting and I think we'll want to talk about how "western" medicine is
practiced in Japan. We're all patients from time to time.

Don't look up everything, but highlight or stick post-its to the passages where
you had trouble ......

(The Choice Readers attendees will receive more details via its mailing list.)

Best regards,
Chris
