To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System National Academy of Sciences National Academy of Engineering Institute of Medicine National Research Council The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a man- date that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts is president of the National Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. William A. Wulf is president of the National Academy of Engineering. The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Kenneth I. Shine is president of the Institute of Medicine. The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sci- ences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Func- tioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the pub- lic, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. William A. Wulf are chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the National Research Council. Copyright National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved.

    ENGLISH 2810: Television as Literature (v. 1.0) 9:00 – 10:15 T/Th | EH 229 Dr. Scott Rogers | [email protected] | EH 448 http://faculty.weber.edu/srogers The Course The average American watches about 5 hours of television a day. We are told that this is bad. We are told that television is bad for us, that it is bad for our families, and that it is wasting our time. But not all television is that way. Some television shows have what we might call “literary pretensions.” Shows such as Twin Peaks, Homicide: Life on the Street, The Wire, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Veronica Mars, Battlestar Galactica, and LOST have been both critically acclaimed and the subject of much academic study. In this course, we shall examine a select few of these shows, watching complete seasons as if they were self-contained literary texts. In other words, in this course, you will watch TV and get credit for it. You will also learn to view television in an active and critical fashion, paying attention to the standard literary techniques (e.g. character, theme, symbol, plot) as well as televisual issues such as lighting, music, and camerawork. Texts Students will be expected to own, or have access to, the following: Firefly ($18 on amazon.com; free on hulu.com) and Serenity ($4 used on amazon.com) LOST season one ($25 on amazon.com; free on hulu.com or abc.com) Battlestar Galactica season one ($30 on amazon.com) It is in your best interest to buy or borrow these, if only to make it easier for you to go back and re-watch episodes for your assignments.

SPRANG * He has told you, 0 mortal, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.' To be a lawyer and at the same time to be a faithful Christian or other person of faith is difficult-some would say impossible. 2 Some resolve the crisis by tossing in the towel and leaving the profession.3 Others resolve their cognitive dissonance by rationalizing that there is no conflict between law and faith at all.4 Still others recognize the tension between the challenges of the faith and the demands of the law, and seek to maintain some balance between the two. 5 The tension is not new, of course.

I am grateful for all the encouragement, help and ideas he gave me throughout the writing. He was the one who helped me to figure out the subject of my work which I am especially thankful for as it has been such a pleasure working on it! Secondly, I want to thank my boyfriend Patrick who shared enthusiasm for my subject, inspired me, and always encouraged me to keep up even when my mood was down. Also my friend Sarah who gave me a feedback on my thesis was a very big help and I am grateful. A special thank you goes to my parents who always believed in me and supported me. Thanks to all the teachers and professors who provided me with the necessary baggage of knowledge which I will now proudly carry through life. iii Foreword In my previous research paper I wrote about film discourse, thus, this time I wanted to continue with it but have something new, some kind of challenge which would interest me. After a conversation with my thesis guide, Professor Slembrouck, we decided to stick on to film discourse but to expand it.

  • BOOKTIVISM: the Power of Words
    BOOKTIVISM: The Power of Words Book•ti•vi•sm(noun). 1. The mobilization of groups of concerned citizens produced by reading books offering powerful analyses of social or political issues. 2. A call to action based on the sharing of knowledge through books. 3. Books + activism = “booktivism.” 4. A term first used at the SellingSickness, 2013: People Before Profits conference in Washington, DC, see www.sellingsickness.com. Read. Discuss. Be thoughtful. Be committed. Here are some more suggestions to get you started: 1) Set up a reading group on disease-mongering among interested friends and colleagues. If you do The books included in BOOKTIVISM celebrate recent contributions to the broad topic of disease- not already have a group of interested readers, post a notice in your workplace, library, community mongering, especially as they examine the growing prevalence and consequences of overtreatment, center, apartment building, etc. Once you have a group, decide where to meet. Book clubs can overscreening, overmarketing, and overdiagnosis (see Lynn Payer’s 1992 classic, Disease-Mongers: How meet anywhere – at homes, in dorms, in pubs, in coffeehouses, at libraries, even online! Decide on Doctors, Drug Companies, and Insurers Are Making You Feel Sick, for an introduction to timing and format. Will you meet monthly/bimonthly? You’ll need time to prepare for the sessions, disease-mongering). but not so much time that you lose touch. Circulate the reading guide. It is usually best if one person leads each discussion, to have some questions at the ready and get things rolling. Although the challenge to disease-mongering is not unprecedented (the women’s health movement of the 1970s was another key historical moment), these books represent an impressive groundswell OR, maybe you’d like to of amazing, powerful, brilliant, and often deeply unsettling investigations by physicians, health scientists, 2) Set up a lecture/discussion group.
