Literature shows than evidence are not sufficient while a wide range of “stakeholders” vie to influ…

Controlling Costs and Changing Patient Care?: The Role of Utilization Management

The past decade has seen great growth in efforts by purchasers of health care to understand and influence the treatment of patients.

SANE SEX LIFE AND SANE SEX LIVING

As we have moved down the ages, now and then, from the religious teacher, the statesman, the inventor, the social worker, or from the doctor, surgeon, or sexologist, there has been a "vox clamantis in deserto." Usually these voices have fallen on unheeding ears; but again and again some delver in books, some student of men, some inspired, self- effacing, or altruistic one has taken up the cry; …

The Four Epochs of Woman's Life; a study in hygiene

It should be able to stand up by a chair by the tenth month, and be able to walk alone at the end of the first year. It is important that parents should know this, since not knowing what a normal baby ought to be able to do, cases of birth palsy, or even an attack of paralysis due to teething, are not infrequently overlooked, not only by the mother, but even by the doctor, who attributes the in…

THE NERVOUS HOUSEWIFE

Did the semi-mythical Cave Man (who is perhaps only a pseudo-scientific creation) on his return from a prehistoric hunt find his leafy spouse all in tears over her staglocythic house-cleaning, or the conduct of the youngest cave child? Did she complain of her back, did she have a headache every time they disagreed, did she fuss and fret until he lost his patience and dashed madly out to the Cav…
