The Doctor Who Wasn’t There: Technology, History, and the Limits of Telehealth by Jeremy A. Greene
Requirements: .PDF reader, 8 MB
Overview: This gripping history shows how the electronic devices we use to access care influence the kind of care we receive.
The Doctor Who Wasn’t There traces the long arc of enthusiasm for—and skepticism of—electronic media in health and medicine. Over the past century, a series of new technologies promised to democratize access to healthcare. From the humble telephone to the connected smartphone, from FM radio to wireless wearables, from cable television to the “electronic brains” of networked mainframe computers: each new platform has promised a radical reformation of the healthcare landscape. With equal attention to the history of technology, the history of medicine, and the politics and economies of American healthcare, physician and historian Jeremy A. Greene explores the role that electronic media play, for better and for worse, in the past, present, and future of our health.
