Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present
Medical Apartheid is the first and only comprehensive history of medical experimentation on African Americans. Washington, a journalist and bioethicist who has worked at Harvard Medical School and Tuskegee University, has accumulated a wealth of documentation, beginning with Thomas Jefferson exposing hundreds of slaves to an untried smallpox vaccine before using it on whites, to the 1990s, when the New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University ran drug experiments on African-American and black Dominican boys to determine a genetic predisposition for "disruptive behavior."
Reviews
"This is a really good book."
"Good book!"
"This is a superb book."
"As an undergraduate, I did my own research into medical racism, so of course I was drawn to potentially learning more about the abhorrent medical experimentation on black Americans. However, the author got so many medical facts downright wrong that I'm not sure I can trust the vast majority of the research described in here. - p. 295: When speaking about vaccination, the author touts, "...highly publicized theories link vaccination to everything from autism to sudden death..." The "highly publicized" research linking autism to vaccines has been debunked repeatedly, was based on severely flawed research, and is unsupported by a vast majority of the medical community. Despite this book's propensity for criticizing poorly designed and even malicious "scientific" studies, the author fails to recognize the original research "study" linking autism and vaccines as one of the most highly flawed in recent years."

Epidemiology: with STUDENT CONSULT Online Access, 5e (Gordis, Epidemiology)
He guides you from an explanation of the epidemiologic approach to disease and intervention, through the use of epidemiologic principles to identify the causes of disease, to a discussion of how epidemiology should be used to improve evaluation and public policy. Master the latest nuances in epidemiology thanks to a wealth of new and updated illustrations, examples, and epidemiologic data. If this is not the case and students have the previous edition, they can still learn the principles and methods of epidemiology from the prior edition. Overall, I think it is an excellent book for medical students and occupational medicine trainees and a useful revision and reference text for consultant occupational physicians―one of the most clearly laid out and readable general epidemiology texts that I have ever seen."
