Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

Cover ArtThe Death Gap by Lori E. Lightfoot (Foreword by); David A. Ansell (Afterword by)
Added to the Library of RUSH University Medical Center e-collection November 1, 2023

ISBN: 9780226796710
Publication Date: 2021-06-16
We hear plenty about the widening income gap between the rich and the poor in America and about the expanding distance separating the haves and the have-nots. But when detailing the many things that the poor have not, we often overlook the most critical--their health. The poor die sooner. Blacks die sooner. And poor urban blacks die sooner than almost all other Americans. In nearly four decades as a doctor at hospitals serving some of the poorest communities in Chicago, David A. Ansell, MD, has witnessed firsthand the lives behind these devastating statistics. In The Death Gap, he gives a grim survey of these realities, drawn from observations and stories of his patients.
