High Risk - A Doctor`s Notes on Pregnancy, Birth, and the Unexpected

Karkowsky offers a window into all that pregnancy, labor, and birth can entail—birth and joy, but also challenge and loss—illustrating the complexity of reproductive life and the systems that surround it. With historical insight and illustrative real-life stories Karkowsky unpacks what is involved for women, for a family, and for us as a society; and explores what’s at risk when these aspects of medicine remain clouded in mystery and misinformation.

Karkowsky ofera o fereastra catre tot ceea ce poate implica sarcina, travaliul si nasterea - nasterea si bucuria, dar si provocarea si pierderea - ilustrand complexitatea vietii reproductive si a sistemelor care o inconjoara. Cu o perspectiva istorica si povesti ilustrative din viata reala, Karkowsky descompune ceea ce este implicat pentru femei, pentru o familie si pentru noi ca societate; si exploreaza ce este in pericol atunci cand aceste aspecte ale medicinei raman innegrite in mister si dezinformare.
