Book excerpt: Fiction. Edited and with an introduction by George Fragopoulos. Originally published under the pseudonym Madeleine Vara in 1936 by Laura Riding's and Robert Graves's Seizen Press, CONVALESCENT CONVERSATIONS is one of Riding's least known works, and one of her most wonderfully idiosyncratic. A novel unfolding almost entirely in dialogue form, CONVALESCENT CONVERSATIONS tells the story of Adam and Eleanor, two patients recovering from unknown maladies in a nondescript sanitarium. Through a series of increasingly esoteric philosophical conversations regarding topics such as God, love, and the meaning of illness, Adam and Eleanor come to tell the stories of who they are and what they are suffering from. While not strictly an allegorical work, it is difficult to not see historical parallels between the suffering of the protagonists and the state of the world in the late 1930s. 1936 was also the year Riding and Robert Graves had to flee Mallorca, Spain following the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Tom Bell, a dedicated and successful surgeon, suddenly comes to a critical turn in life's road, he is forced to look inward to find his way. Having lost his longtime marriage and his career, Bell begins to take the necessary first steps toward healing and recovery. Unexpectedly, in his new work-as a wound doctor in nursing homes throughout his home state-he learns important life lessons that he could have learned no other way. As he treats his patients during his daily rounds, he also listens closely to their inspiring stories. He soon realizes that, like himself, each of them is struggling with difficult, unimagined circumstances. Eager to learn what helps them through their day-to-day lives, Bell conducts a series of thoughtful interviews. In these candid conversations, Bell's patients confide in him about the challenges of aging and the joys and regrets of their lives. Each one of them teaches Bell a valuable lesson that helps him to shape the rest of his life.

Book excerpt: “An essential book for our times, full of wisdom, compassion and sound advice. Every patient needs a copy of this gem.” –Katherine May, author of Wintering and Enchantment A gentle, expert guide to the secrets of recovery, showing why we need it and how to do it better For many of us, time spent in recovery—from a broken leg, a virus, chronic illness, or the crisis of depression or anxiety—can feel like an unwelcome obstacle on the road to health. Modern medicine too often assumes that once doctors have prescribed a course of treatment, healing takes care of itself. But recovery isn’t something that “just happens.” It is an act that we engage in and that has the potential to transform our lives, if only we can find ways to learn its rhythms and invest our time, energy, and participation. Drawing on thirty years of medicine, and on insights from practitioners, psychologists, and writers across history, physician Gavin Francis delivers a profound, practical, and deeply hopeful guide to recovery. Rejecting the idea that healing is passive, Recovery offers tools and wisdom for convalescence, and shows how tending to our bodies, environments, and perspectives can help us move through the landscape of illness—and come out the other side whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While life in a nursing home is rarely considered a first choice, at times it's the best choice. Still, the decision to put a loved one in a home is incredibly difficult. This book concentrates on the positive aspects of nursing homes and offers strategies for identifying the best facilities. Among the topics covered are how to recognize signs that a family member needs extra support, determining whether in-home care is a viable option, the different types of long-term care, working and communicating with the staff and preparing for the end of life. The book includes exercises for working through emotional reactions to the nursing home decision and how to maintain and improve family relationships in these circumstances. Uplifting stories of people and staff in nursing homes illustrate the concepts in the book, which is clearly written and filled with practical and positive advice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is an unspoken dark side of American medicine--keeping patients alive at all costs. Two thirds of Americans die in healthcare institutions tethered to machines and tubes, even though research indicates that most prefer to die at home in comfort, surrounded by loved ones. The question How do you want to live? must be posed to the seriously ill because they deserve to choose. If doctors explain options--including the choice to forego countless medical interventions that are often of little benefit--then patients can tell doctors how they wish to spend the remainder of their lives. A doctor's heroic efforts to prolong a life can instead prolong that patient's death, and these traumatic measures also bankrupt the healthcare system. One third of the Medicare budget is spent on the last six months of life, often on technological interventions that are not helpful and inflict more suffering. Through the stories of six patients and six very different end-of-life experiences, Volandes explores the trajectory of events and treatments that occur with and without this essential conversation. He argues for a radical re-envisioning of the patient-doctor relationship--including videos to spark discussions--and offers ways for patients and their families to talk about this difficult issue to ensure that patients will be at the center and in charge of their medical care"--Provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: Television in the Nursing Home: A Case Study of the Media Consumption Routines and Strategies of Nursing Home Residents is a three-stage ethnographic study of media use by the elderly in long-term care facilities. This research concludes that watching television is the most prevalent and pervasive activity for patients. Activity directors can now learn how television and media can offer diversion, enhancement of personality, awareness, and sociability to their patients and offers suggestions on roommate coordination, selection of appropriate media, and communication resources. Containing the latest knowledge involving communication and gerontology, Television in the Nursing Home will help you offer programs that will meet the demands of an expanding elderly population. Developed as a perspective for examining patterns of social interaction, Television in the Nursing Home gives suggestions on how you can use the media to create new activities for patients, maximizing the television as a resource for the elderly. You will gain valuable insight on: proof to dispel the myth that television in long-term patient care causes withdrawal and depression a breakthrough in the treatment of media and aging, enhancing media-based activities and the use and purchase of electronic equipment for care facilities studies on how and why television is the most accessible medium of communication information for the development of new media designed specifically for use by the elderly creation of media-centered activities that recognize the potential for therapeutic use of communication technologies in the nursing home The research presented in Television in the Nursing Home establishes the fact that television consumption, once thought to be problematic, should be seen as desirable and necessary. This important book also proves how television is a resource that provides comfort, self-expression, and sociality. This first-ever study will convince you that television and media use in long-term care is beneficial and essential to the wellness of your patients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worth Saving is about what one family went through while raising a special-needs child-the humor, the tragedy, and the instance of not knowing what to do when all hope is lost. Where do we turn to when it seems that the world has turned against a five-year-old boy? What happens to the family dynamics? How does a marriage survive, and what does one do with the other child? What do the in-laws and grandparents think? Many people try to tell you how to discipline your child even though they don't know him or us. How we learned what types of discipline works and what does not. Questions such as, "Where will this child end up?" "Is there any future for him?" "Why does he do the things he does?" I didn't even know my own son. The depth of emotion when asked to leave three churches because of his behavior, and how one eighth-grade teacher gave us hope and light. Worth Saving talks about how he came close to death several times and of a stranger who told him to get off the railroad tracks. No one knew who this person was, and no one had seen him before. How and what is he doing today?
