In de rijke en complexe wereld van de kunstgeschiedenis onderscheiden sommige werken zich door hun vermogen om de essentie van een tijdperk of een persoon vast te leggen. De kunstdruk William Samuel Johnson - John Wesley Jarvis is hier een perfect voorbeeld van. Dit portret, dat verder gaat dan de eenvoudige voorstelling, dompelt ons onder in het universum van een man wiens leven en ideeën de achttiende eeuw hebben beïnvloed. John Wesley, iconisch figuur van het methodisme, wordt hier afgebeeld met een fijnzinnigheid die niet alleen zijn fysieke verschijning onthult, maar ook de diepte van zijn karakter en spirituele betrokkenheid. Bij het bekijken van dit werk wordt de kijker uitgenodigd om de nuances van geloof, passie en vastberadenheid te verkennen die deze uitzonderlijke man hebben geïnspireerd. Stijl en uniekheid van het werk De stijl van Jarvis in dit portret onderscheidt zich door een benadering die zowel realistisch als expressief is. De kunstenaar slaagt erin de trekken van Wesley met verbluffende precisie vast te leggen, terwijl hij een bijna spirituele dimensie aan zijn gezicht toevoegt. De licht- en schaduweffecten, vakkundig georkestreerd, benadrukken de emoties die van het onderwerp uitstralen. Het kleurenpalet dat Jarvis heeft gekozen, subtiel en harmonieus, draagt bij aan een sfeer van sereniteit en reflectie. Elk detail, of het nu de textuur van de kleding betreft of de intensiteit van de blik, is zorgvuldig bedacht om de energie en overtuiging over te brengen die Wesley zijn hele leven heeft geïnspireerd. Zo beperkt dit werk zich niet tot een eenvoudig portret; het wordt een waar getuigenis van de kracht van een persoonlijkheid die haar tijd heeft weten te transformeren. De kunstenaar en zijn invloed John Wesley Jarvis, Amerikaanse kunstenaar uit het begin van de 19e eeuw, heeft zijn tijd gekenmerkt door zijn talent en artistieke visie. Opgevoed in een context waarin kunst vaak werd beschouwd als een eenvoudige manier van voorstelling, koos Jarvis ervoor deze benadering te overstijgen en diepere thema’s te verkennen. Zijn werk, beïnvloed door grote Europese meesters, past binnen een traditie van portretschilders die proberen de ziel van hun onderwerpen vast te leggen. Door historische en religieuze figuren te schilderen, heeft hij bijgedragen aan het vormen van de Amerikaanse culturele identiteit van zijn tijd. De voorstelling van Wesley is emblematisch voor deze aanpak, omdat het niet alleen een viering is

A MUST read for any patient with cancer or for a physician
Format: Kindle
I would give this book 6 stars if I could. The book talks about medical care and cancer care in the United States. The care that many receive is very limited for the poor and poorly managed for the rich or well insured. We need treatments that have a scientific basis and a proven track record. Often Patients get pushed into testing that has not been shown to prolong life or decrease morbidity. A good example is PSA testing. The potential therapies can kill you or drastically take away quality of life. Would you take a test that might lead to wearing diapers for the rest of you life and not prolong your life ? If Your PSA is elevated does your doctor offer you 3 or 4 possible treatments and compare possible and likely outcomes? Is there any financial incentives for the proposed therapy? Is there an expensive piece of equipment that needs to be paid for? Have you been given a list of alternatives and expected outcomes? Unfortunately the current medical health care system is flooded with ignorance, apathy and often greed. Consumers (patient) need to know something about their disease. They must become active players. They should ask for proof that this therapy is better than another therapy. They also need to be able to ask their doctors "how many of these have you done and what outcomes have you had?" They need real expectations. If you have localized prostate disease that has a low risk of metastasis then why get the prostate ripped out ? Maybe it can be watched for 4 - 5 years before surgery and diapers and impotence. Greed? Yes boys and girls somebody has to pay for that 3 million dollar particle accelerator at your local hospital. Why should it be your life and body for some unproven therapy? Unfortunately education is a very difficult thing to do. You can tell I loved this book. Why is it the USA has such poor health outcomes? Over treatment can cause harm. Bone Marrow transplants for breast cancer is proof of the harm.

This book will educate and inform! A+
Format: Paperback
Now in my 7th decade, I spent my entire career in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. I can attest to the veracity of Dr. Brawley's dissertation. The maxim that all physicians and surgeons promise is the essential promise to "First, do no harm." Dr. Brawley teaches that not all who purport to care for us and our loved ones adhere to this promise. Just ask a vet. On the battlefield virtually all medical care is superb. Here at home, alas, it is not so. Too often, not always, but way too often he is right. Here's the bottom line. If you're not comfortable with what your being told about your health, or that of a loved one, don't hesitate, find another MD who though you may not like what they may say to you, you trust them with your life. That is exactly what you're doing. Much of the seeming heroics in medicine/surgery are really about making or saving money for the drug industry, or hospital, or doctor, or insurance carrier, and not about saving your backside. Certainly not always, perhaps not even most of the time, but way too often. Read this book and you'll be radically better equipped to understand just what may be driving the responses of the health care systems to your malady, and how you can assure the appropriate care for yourself or a loved one. Are there great doctors and hospitals out there? You bet there are. There are also those who couldn't care less about quality health care for you and are only focused on their own backside. This book will educate and inform you.

"More" is not "better"
Format: Kindle
I had the privilege of working with Otis during part of his training at the National Cancer Institute at a time that policies on PSA and mammography screening were being newly scrutinized with respect to risk/benefit. The notion that screening might actually do more harm than good was seen as absolute heresy and I fondly remember the wonder and amazement in Otis' eyes as he unraveled to me just how this counter-intuitive idea could be so. Twenty years later, the truths I learned from Otis back then are still not widely appreciated among patients, indeed even doctors more sadly. I eagerly snatched this book up not only because I knew Otis and expected a riveting review of healthcare but because my experience in pharmaceutical development has led me to participate unintentionally in some of the perverse systems of conflicts of interest that characterize our healthcare system. I am at a personal watershed and this book is a strong antidote for what ails me, i.e. I feel emboldened to take my career in the direction of a solution rather than continue to contribute to the problem. Written for the general audience, We Do Harm breaks the ranks of legions of doctors who are invested in perpetuating a broken but remunerative healthcare system by introducing specific and by no means isolated instances where patients have been harmed. This book is at once disparaging of blind trust of one's physician and optimistic in that some stars like Otis and microcosms like Grady Memorial can and do avoid patient-disadvantaged conflicts of interest. This book provides evidence and motivation for every person in every role they engage in in the healthcare system: patient, consumer, provider, insurer, politician. No one can escape the relevance and import of the key message of this book that "more" is not always "better." Until such time, if ever, that our healthcare system operates under transparency, this is a must read for all. That means you! Now! It can't wait! I am a believer that healthcare quality will come from the bottom up and not the top down and this book exemplifies this spirit; read it and be empowered to ask the hard questions as to who is motivated to provide what care and at what personal gain.
