内容简介

A doctor’s revelatory account of pregnancy and the complexity of reproductive life―and everything we lose when we don’t speak honestly about women’s health.

“My work offers a window into the darkest and lightest corners of people’s lives, into the extremes of human experience,” writes Dr. Chavi Eve Karkowsky in High Risk, her timely and unflinching account of working in maternal-fetal medicine―that branch of medicine that concerns high-risk pregnancies. Whether offering insight into the rise in home births, the alarming rise in America’s maternal mortality rate, or the history of involuntary sterilization, 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 journalistic verve, 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.

医生对怀孕和生殖生活的复杂性的启示，以及当我们不诚实地谈论妇女的健康时所失去的一切。

Chavi Eve Karkowsky博士在《高风险》中写道：“我的工作为人们提供了进入人们生活中最黑暗和最黑暗的角落的窗口，可以进入人类体验的极端。，她及时而坚定不移地讲述了在母婴医学领域的工作-涉及高风险妊娠的医学分支。无论是洞悉家庭生育的增加，美国孕产妇死亡率的惊人上升还是非自愿绝育的历史，卡尔科夫斯基都为了解怀孕，分娩和分娩可能带来的一切提供了一个窗口，即出生和快乐，但也挑战和损失—说明了生殖生活及其周围系统的复杂性。凭借历史洞察力和新闻狂热，卡尔科夫斯基解开了妇女，家庭以及我们作为一个社会所涉及的一切；并探索当医学的这些方面仍然被神秘和错误信息所笼罩时所面临的风险。
