The Good Physician
Author: Kent Harrington

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Dr. Collin Reeves rejected the easy life once out of medical school, enrolling instead in the famous London School of Tropical Diseases, transitioning straight out into the trenches of the Third World and fighting the Good Fight against the legion of diseases that bedevil the world’s poor. He was making a difference. His youthful energy and commitment, and the fact that he seemed to have no problem “going native” caught the attention of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, and given his idealistic nature and proven capabilities, it was no surprise when he said “yes” to their recruitment after the horrific events of 9/11/2001. His transfer found him in Mexico City under the guise of “on-call” doctor for sick American tourists. In reality, a rumor reached the Head of Station that something had been taken off a ship of Middle-Eastern origin and was now somewhere on the Mexican mainland. Dr. Reeves was now being assigned to keep a prisoner alive who was being tortured for information about the supposed incident, and to look after a beautiful young “tourist” staying at his hotel, leading to a series of events that left him at war with his own conscience, the CIA, and the desire to be loved.

Gesundheit!
Author: Patch Adams
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1620551128
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
The inspiring and hilarious story of Patch Adams's quest to bring free health care to the world and to transform the way doctors practice medicine • Tells the story of Patch Adam's lifetime quest to transform the health care system • Released as a film from Universal Pictures, starring Robin Williams Meet Patch Adams, M.D., a social revolutionary who has devoted his career to giving away health care. Adams is the founder of the Gesundheit Institute, a home-based medical practice that has treated more than 15,000 people for free, and that is now building a full-scale hospital that will be open to anyone in the world free of charge. Ambitious? Yes. Impossible? Not for those who know and work with Patch. Whether it means putting on a red clown nose for sick children or taking a disturbed patient outside to roll down a hill with him, Adams does whatever is necessary to help heal. In his frequent lectures at medical schools and international conferences, Adams's irrepressible energy cuts through the businesslike facade of the medical industry to address the caring relationship between doctor and patient that is at the heart of true medicine. All author royalties are used to fund The Gesundheit Institute, a 40-bed free hospital in West Virginia. Adams's positive vision and plan for the future is an inspiration for those concerned with the inaccessibility of affordable, quality health care. Today's high-tech medicine has become too costly, impersonal, and grim. In his frequent lectures to colleges, churches, community groups, medical schools, and conferences, Patch shows how healing can be a loving, creative, humorous human exchange--not a business transaction.

The Best Care Possible
Author: Ira Byock
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1583335129
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
A doctor on the front lines of hospital care illuminates one of the most important and controversial social issues of our time. It is harder to die in this country than ever before. Though the vast majority of Americans would prefer to die at home—which hospice care provides—many of us spend our last days fearful and in pain in a healthcare system ruled by high-tech procedures and a philosophy to “fight disease and illness at all cost.” Dr. Ira Byock, one of the foremost palliative-care physicians in the country, argues that how we die represents a national crisis today. To ensure the best possible elder care, Dr. Byock explains we must not only remake our healthcare system but also move beyond our cultural aversion to thinking about death. The Best Care Possible is a compelling meditation on medicine and ethics told through page-turning life-or-death medical drama. It has the power to lead a new national conversation.

Book Description
The world breaks everyone, but in the end some are stronger at all the broken places Ernest Hemingway Successor to the finest tradition of Hemingway and Tom Wolfe, come along with a brilliant new American author, one of the most prominent plastic surgeons of his time, as he plumbs life from cruising altitude to crush depth. Dubbed a world-class medical prodigy by the media of the day, he explores the darkness and traverses the ugliness and pain of all the broken places, discovering healing, renewal, and the daylight of restoration.

It is the spellbinding journey the world has been waiting to hear for nearly four decades. The ultimate millennial playbook for success, healing, and hope that can change your life forever. No matter what you are going through today, you will turn the last page emboldened and ennobled, knowing in your heart that somehow it has been written just for you, sensing that life need never be the same.

Book Description
From time to time in the field of healthcare, an exciting new development emerges to challenge and potentially transform thinking and behaviour. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and its framework is undoubtedly one of these transformative resources and is increasingly widely used in the field of childhood disability. This accessible handbook introduces the ICF to professionals working with children with disabilities and their families. It contains an overview of the elements of the ICF but focusses on practical applications, including how the ICF framework can be used with children, families and carers to formulate health and management goals. The Appendices contain case studies for individuals and interdisciplinary teams to work through and discuss, alongside other resources, and a copy of an ICF code set for children and youth is available to download online. Importantly, the book includes a chapter written by a parent of a child with impairments, illustrating the potential diverse applications of the ICF framework. The ICF’s relationship with patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and future alternatives to the current ICF framework are also examined. Clinicians, paediatricians and other healthcare providers in neurodisability, community-based health professionals, policy makers and the families and carers of children with disabilities will find this title an indispensable resource.
