  The Anatomy of Deception -...

  In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, trust in the healthcare system seems to be at an all-time low. Conspiracy theories are now mainstream, and distrust of government health agencies is common among private citizens. Yet many of those same individuals still profess trust in their doctors. What, then, is driving the general mistrust in medicine, and how can the public's faith be restored? 
   
   
   
  The Anatomy of Deception investigates the cause behind this seeming uptick in distrust by tracing the unexpected connection between medical mistrust and the move toward far right ideology in the United States. Drawing on personal qualitative research and interviews, health writer and expert Sara Gorman challenges traditional concepts of medical mistrust and argues that the loss of institutional trust in American health care signals a larger breakdown in democracy as a whole. In six short chapters, Gorman advances the idea of medical mistrust not as a byproduct of personal or historical abuses but as a direct result of bias, miscommunication, and lack of access that has slowly eroded trust in the public health system over time. She argues that we can build back trust in medicine through investments in health equity as a first step towards healing the schisms present in modern American society.

  Who should read this book? Someone on their way out the door for their first or an early career health emergency and disaster risk management (HEDRM) experience, regardless of role, or someone who is trying to support one who is, or who does it all of the time and wants to know that they are not alone 
  What does this book tell the reader? It provides the shock of jumping into the cold water of health emergency and disaster risk management (HEDRM), without the risk of drowning; it focuses on practical aspects of the experience of doing the work that guidelines and playbooks (as important as they are) do not address 
  Who else might be interested in this book? People keen to understand how HEDRM happens in the context of highly communicable diseases, or about how global public health, emergencies, aid, and development mix, or medical history... the technical and contextual curious 
  Who should NOT read this book? Anyone who is looking for gory details 
  What is the main strength of this book? It is a raw view of the experience of conducting such responses at the clinical: public health interface, with some lessons durable across emergencies 
  What is the main weakness of this book? It carries all of the biases of such experiences. There is a lot not said; the book has snapshots and cannot relate the 10,000,000 events during the year not described 
  What is new in the 2024 edition? In print and e-book, overdue editing without loss of content, a forward that reflects on the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of themes in the book, and in the print edition available on www.amazon.com, a series of essays stepping back and exploring the ways in which people interact with the threat of infectious diseases that defines our willingness and readiness to meet them

  Do you feel stuck in a constant cycle of fatigue and snacking at work? Are you having difficulty turning down sweets in your attempt to lose weight? Are you struggling to eat healthy because good-for-you-foods just don’t give you the same high as sugary treats? If you answered yes to any of the above, you may have a sugar addiction. 
  It’s a serious issue for many people in today’s high-octane world, but we’ve got good news: Sugar addiction can be overcome. And even better news: Your energy levels will repair themselves, and you’ll be more energetic than you ever were when you were dependent on sugar. 
  “But I’ve tried eating less sugar, and it just doesn’t work,” you say. 
  Would you be surprised if we agreed with you? 
  You’re right: just “not eating” sugar is probably not going to work to kick your addiction to it. That’s why we’re suggesting something much different: Our Sugar Addiction Annihilation Process. 
  You see, we understand that overcoming an addiction isn’t just about willpower—going into it believing that is sure to lead to failure. Instead, you need to attack the addiction on two separate fronts: science and psychology. 
  In this concise, straightforward guide, you’re going to learn how to do just that. Here are just a few of the things you’ll learn: 
  The science behind addictions. Understand your enemy! 
  •          How to use dietary changes and supplements to stop sugar cravings 
  •          How to optimize your new healthy diet to maximize your energy levels 
  •          The psychology behind the addiction. Many addictions are an attempt at self-medicating. You need to understand yourself, too. 
  •          How to develop your own arsenal against addiction: adaptive coping mechanisms
