Jim Bailey will talk about his novel, The End of Healing, and will lead discussion about Dr. Don Newman’s path to find health care that heals. Food for Thought has a long tradition of nurturing the art of conversation and civil discourse in Memphis. Initial inspiration for Food for Thought came from a cover story in the Utne Reader in 1991 about the famous gatherings hosted by Gertrude Stein in Paris. Salons at that time were incubators of provocative ideas, the frontiers of cultural change with passionate conversation sometimes leading to passionate action. Wit, intelligence, charm, and insight were prized. Later in 1991, Rob Sangster founded Food for Thought to nourish the art of conversation, including spirited debates on controversial topics. We ignore the adage that discussion of religion, sex and politics are to be avoided. Indeed, they are frequent topics. For the first year, meetings were held in Cybil Shepherd’s downtown loft. For more than a decade after that, Food for Thought met in the private room at La Montagne Restaurant, where the best of conversation, food and wine were combined.
Recent guests who have guided discussions include Ted Evanoff, CA Business Editor, Muaricio Calvo – Director – Latino Memphis, Dr. Scott Morris – Church Health Center, Sen. Lee Harris, Dr. Mark Muesse – Rhodes College, Jim Strickland – Mayor, Phil Trenary – Chamber of Commerce, Jimmy Ogle – all things Memphis, Dr. Stephen Haynes – The Last Segregated Hour, Marc Perrusquia – investigative reporter, Dr. Steven McKenzie – the ancient Middle East, Dr. David Kemme – the financial crisis, Molly Crosby – on writing, David Waters – on religion, Dean Steve Mulroy – elections, MPD Director Toney Armstrong – policing Memphis, Dr. Yasir Qadhi – Muslims in America, a variety of scientists, historians, economists, politicians, and more.

2018-02-22 08:00 - 2018-04-18 17:00 UTC | Memphis College of Art, 1930 Poplar Avenue, Memphis, TN, 38104, United States
The Diagram of Healthcare Hell from the The End of Healing: A Journey through the Underworld of American Medicine by Jim Bailey will be part of the Art of Science Exhibit on view in Rust Hall at Memphis College of Art (located in Overton Park, Memphis). This is the 5th installment of The Art of Science, an annual exhibition showcasing the beauty of science and the power of art, presented by LeBonheur Childrens Research Hospital and Memphis College of Art.Each year, scientific imagery provided by working research scientists & physicians at LeBonheur Childrens Research Hospital is reinterpreted by local area fine artists. The Art of Science project, led by Dr. Heather Smallwood, culminates in a gallery show exhibiting the original scientific images with explanations of their significance, alongside the artistic representations. This project connects members of the city’s science and art communities, and serves as an educational art experience that is open and free to the public.
Please mark your calendar and plan to attend the exhibit reception on the evening of March 2, 2018 from 6-8 PM. A companion piece by noted artist Nysha Oren Nelson that was inspired by the diagram will be hung next adjacent to a high resolution print on aluminum of the illustration from The End of Healing. At the reception both Jim and Nysha will be available to discuss their work with the public.

The Diagram of Healthcare Hell plays a central role in The End of Healing. The novel’s young physician-protagonist, Dr. Don Newman, discovers that Dante’s Inferno provides a perfect ethical framework for understanding the unjust misallocation of resources in American healthcare. Inspired by Botticelli’s magnificent map of the Inferno from the late 1400s and informed by his own study of epidemiology, biostatistics, and health economics, Dr. Newman draws this diagram in the back of his journal to detail the money spent, lives saved, and lives lost in each sector of the healthcare industry. For every type of ethical or moral mistake that humans can make Dr. Newman finds a corollary mistake in healthcare. Where we spend the fewest dollars—on primary and preventive care—we get the most in terms of lives saved. But where we spend the most—on hospital rescue care and hyped care—we get little to nothing in terms of lives saved and a shocking number of lives lost. Dr. Don Newman discovers that—from the perspective of basic human values—U.S. allocation of healthcare resources is completely upside down. The illustration was designed by Dr. Bailey and executed by artist Joel Hilgenberg with the assistance of Kim Coleman.
