These issues, which impact primarily on the poor and underserved (both in the United States and internationally) are rarely or inadequately covered in the curriculums of traditional health care professions. The discussion offers ways for health care professionals to promote equality and justice and uses the example of Rudolph Virchow's social activism to illustrate how one physician can lead society toward major public health gains. There is also an examination of the roles of institutions and organisations in enhancing environmental preservation and promoting social justice. Specific curricular suggestions from history and the humanities are offered for those teaching and mentoring new health professionals.

It then reviews those activities of GE Healthcare and its parent company, General Electric (GE, ranked by Forbes Magazine in 2008 as the world's largest company), which have been antithetical to public health. These activities include unethical human subject experiments; environmental pollution; workers' rights and workplace health and safety violations; fraud; false and misleading advertising; sponsorship of corporate front groups; lobbying; a personal attack on a radiologist for exposing the risks of nephrogenic systemic sclerosis from its contrast agent Omniscan; and an ethically troubling technology transfer agreement with New York Presbyterian Hospital. Despite such activities, General

Research paper thumbnail of Eversion Endarterectomy for External Iliac Artery Occlusive Disease

Long-segment iliac occlusions remain technically difficult to treat, particularly in the presence of femoral disease. Iliac endarterectomy is an established procedure for the treatment of iliac occlusive disease, but it has been suggested that in the era of effective endovascular intervention, its role is limited. A review of all patients who had eversion endarterectomy of the external iliac artery from a single institution between 2000 and 2008. Twenty-one patients (18 male) underwent eversion external iliac endarterectomy, 15 for external iliac and 6 for iliofemoral disease. Mean age was 64.7 years (range: 46-78 years) and the modal American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) grade was 3. The indications were critical ischemia (n = 16) and disabling claudication (n = 5). Twelve had adjunctive procedures. The mean follow-up was 25.3 months (range: 1-59 months). There were no technical failures. Seventeen patients had significant improvement in symptoms and three had moderate improvement. The cumulative primary patency at 1 year was 81%. One patient had no improvement (because of infrainguinal occlusive disease), and subsequently required femoro-popliteal bypass. There was no systemic morbidity within 30 days. There was 1 in-hospital death from sudden cardiac arrest (47 days postoperatively). Six patients died during follow-up (from unrelated illness). Eversion external iliac endarterectomy is an effective means of treating iliofemoral occlusive disease with excellent short-term outcomes and a low complication rate in a cohort with high levels of comorbidity.
