Jihad and American Medicine: Thinking Like a Terrorist to Anticipate Attacks Via Our Health System [Praeger Series on Contemporary Health And Living]

Author: Adam Frederic Dorin

State-of-the-art counter-terrorism techniques, insights into modern medical practice, medical errors, and disaster prevention all intersect in this groundbreaking book by Adam Dorin, M.D., an anesthesiologist and medical director across 15 years. Dr. Dorin shows us why our healthcare system may be the next Ground Zero for terrorism, and how many opportunities there are for terrorists to infiltrate the sytem. He offers a history of medical and healthcare-related serial killers, showing how they got inside the system to murder relatively easily, and he offers a detailed look at the profound problems which already exist in counterfeit and tainted medicinal products, as well as descriptions of biological, chemical, and nuclear terrorism that could be used against our healthcare system. Most importantly, Dr. Dorin presents a detailed blueprint for safeguarding our system, and preventing medical terrorism from ever taking place.
