End Goal—Kidney Transplant; References; IndexReviews“This work provides personal and powerful insights into the U.S. healthcare system, its inequalities, and disparities from the perspective of an African American social scientist doctor who chose to journal her experiences as she pursued treatment for a life-threatening rare disease. Despite her higher socioeconomic status, insured status, and higher level of education, Dr. Craig-Henderson, as has been borne out in many instances, was not immune from these disparities. I hope that Dr. Craig-Henderson’s pursuit of life-saving health care and her death will provide similar insights into and solutions to these systemic issues that plague the U.S. healthcare system and are borne out in her book.” — Yvonne Noel, MD OB-GYN, located in Brooklyn, NY Author InformationDr. Kellina M. Craig-Henderson is a former full time professor of psychology and a member of the Senior Executive Service for the federal government. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
