Death Just Happens
Author: Margaret J. Scott
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1456841076
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
This is an inspirational memoir by a Registered Nurse, whose career ended with one incident and diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, after a string of trauma victims in a Australian rural hospital mortuary. The search for her identity without nursing will take you through her childhood memories, her adventures as a bush nurse in a remote ski resort, travels abroad, and the adversity faced with an injured husband raising three toddlers. Using her father’s wisdom and her strong beliefs, life comes full circle reminding us we can overcome death, loss and labels by living life.share this story that took her on full circle and has to be told, so others can overcome tough times combating death and labels by living life. BOOK REVIEW The memoir of an accomplished bush nurse and nursing supervisor; inspired by the career-ending encounter with a particularly gruesome death. Scott’s memoir opens with her receiving a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder—a condition induced by her first-hand exposure to the severely damaged corpse of a swimmer. Facing the prospect of not returning to work, Scott ruminates on her life leading up to that moment. She takes us through her happy girlhood on a farm, painting lush imagery—one of the book’s strong suits. The young Margaret makes for an endearing presence; the forbearance and no-nonsense work ethic that will later assist her is evident in her youth. While Scott shares a few relevant memories from farm life—such as the bandage she instinctively created when her father lost a finger and the demise of various animals—many events, described at length, distract from the central theme. The author covers her decision to enter nursing (strongly colored by her desire to travel via bush nursing), her early schooling and the acquisition of her first nursing jobs. While details concerning the niche brand of skier-injury nursing she’s acquainted with in her pioneering work at a remote resort are interesting in their own right, they’re not well blended with the book’s main focus, and the inclusion of the non-nursing-related minutiae of her many travels and friendships take the narrative further from an examination of the psychological toll inherent in regularly confronting death. A purported brush with telepathic communication serves to jolt focus from practical nursing entirely. Suffering from a lack of integration with the rest of the memoir’s subject matter, this instance brings the credibility of surrounding observations into question. Scott’s return, in the final chapter, to the aphorism that death “just happens” should inspire one to live emphatically, but it feels forced rather than a graceful punctuation of the grand arc of her story. Also, Scott’s sentence structure throughout much of the book is confused in terms of subject-verb agreement, tense and singularity/plurality, which makes the text unnecessarily challenging. Scott covers independently interesting topics, but the book would greatly benefit from improved focus and grammatical polishing. -Kirkus Discoveries Post-traumatic stress disorder is commonly assumed to be an unwelcome souvenir of battle, but PTSD also affects people who have never heard a bomb explode or a rifle shot fired in anger. Margaret J. Scott enjoyed most of her duties as a respected and hard-working nursing supervisor in an Australian hospital. What she didn’t realize was the enormous strain her job put on her psyche. Apparently, after studying the hospital mortuary stats with the hospital’s occupational health and safety officer, the numbers I had been involved in were excessive; I was supposed to have snapped years prior. He went on to say I had been working a 93 percent rate of trauma; the analogy he used was, in [Beirut], Lebanon, the medical and nursing are monitored to work only 30 percent trauma in any given year. I had been doing this for over fifteen

Book Description
Recent Harvard graduate Charlotte Kane tends to be the most practical person in the room. A self-proclaimed nerd and former tomboy, Charlotte still isn't used to the world's reaction to her since she traded in her sweatpants and hoodies for skinny jeans and sundresses. And she's just begun to settle into her new job as a research assistant at a prestigious biotech powerhouse, Philadelphia's Genesis Life Systems, when Owen Becker walks into the subject waiting room. Owen Becker is pure, distilled masculinity. He's also been the subject of a shadowy Genesis research study for twenty-seven years—a classified one now run solely by Charlotte's prickly and secretive boss. With just one glance at Charlotte Kane, Owen knows he has to have her. But he fears that the secret behind his study might be too much for the new researcher to understand—and far too dangerous for her or anyone else to know about. When a chance accident on their second date reveals something unbelievable about Owen Becker, Charlotte's world is turned entirely upside-down. As she struggles to reconcile what she's learned about her irresistible new boyfriend with everything she knows to be true about science and the world she lives in, her lingering dislike of her new boss shifts into something more like suspicion. Determining that he's up to something dark—and that Owen is at the center of that something—Charlotte is forced to test the limits of what she's willing to do for love and lust.

Pages : 688
Book Description
“An engaging, humorous, revealing, and refreshingly human look at the bizarre, life-threatening, and delightfully humdrum exploits of everyone from sports heroes to sex workers.” -- Douglas Rushkoff, author of Coercion, Ecstasy Club, and Media Virus This wide-ranging survey of the American economy at the turn of the millennium is stunning, surprising, and always entertaining. It gives us an unflinching view of the fabric of this country from the point of view of the people who keep it all moving. The more than 120 roughly textured monologues that make up Gig beautifully capture the voices of our fast-paced and diverse economy. The selections demonstrate how much our world has changed--and stayed the same--in the three decades prior to the turn of the millennium. If you think things have speeded up, become more complicated and more technological, you're right. But people's attitudes about their jobs, their hopes and goals and disappointments, endure. Gig's soul isn't sociological--it's emotional. The wholehearted diligence that people bring to their work is deeply, inexplicably moving. People speak in these pages of the constant and complex stresses nearly all of them confront on the job, but, nearly universally, they throw themselves without reservation into coping with them. Instead of resisting work, we seem to adapt to it. Some of us love our jobs, some of us don't, but almost all of us are not quite sure what we would do without one. With all the hallmarks of another classic on this subject, Gig is a fabulous read, filled with indelible voices from coast to coast. After hearing them, you'll never again feel quite the same about how we work.
