Mendel's Garden Revisited: Selected Medical Topics

By David J Holcombe

Mendels Garden Revisited is a collection of medical essays spanning several years. Topics range from child abuse to prostate cancer, mosquito-borne diseases, and the tragedy of direct-to-consumer marketing. While most are straightforward descriptions of current medical conditions of interest, many explore the complex relationship of social determinants and health outcomes. Medical topics become outdated almost before they are printed. These articles are no exception. Although there has been a sincere attempt to report the most current data, that information changes almost daily. At best, this collection is a snapshot in time, perhaps more of interest to sociologists and historians than to doctors or medical students. Written for the lay public, it remains accessible to any reader.
