When three-quarters of Americans believe that God can cure people who have been given little or no chance of survival by their doctors, how do today's technologically sophisticated health care organizations address spirituality and faith? Through a combination of interviews with nurses, doctors, and chaplains across the United States and close observation of their daily routines, Wendy Cadge takes readers inside major academic medical institutions to explore how today's doctors and hospitals address prayer and other forms of religion and spirituality. From chapels to intensive care units to the morgue, hospital caregivers speak directly in these pages about how religion is part of their daily work in visible and invisible ways. In \u003ci\u003ePaging God: Religion in the Halls of Medicine, \u003c\/i\u003eCadge shifts attention away from the ongoing controversy about whether faith and spirituality \u003ci\u003eshould\u003c\/i\u003e play a role in health care and back to the many ways that these powerful forces already function in healthcare today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendy Cadge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226922111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226922119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2013","brand":"Wendy Cadge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981512147199,"sku":"9780226922119","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6fded66e-7dd5-4798-9e4e-ad55faee2d0b.jpg?v=1683256018","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/paging-god-wendy-cadge-9780226922119","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
