Book Synopsis The Medical Response to the Trench Diseases in World War One by : Robert Atenstaedt
Download or read book The Medical Response to the Trench Diseases in World War One written by Robert Atenstaedt and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-25 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the trench diseases—trench fever, trench nephritis and trench foot—and examines how doctors responded to them in the context of the Great War. It details the problems that they faced in tackling these conditions, “new” to military warfare. After an introduction to the subject, the second chapter sketches the socio-economic and scientific context within which the response was mounted. The development of bacteriology, sanitation and medical research in the British Army is examined, as is the structure and role of the wartime RAMC, the main body involved in the response to the trench diseases. Divisions between medical practitioners concerning the aetiology of epidemic disease are also described. The third and fourth chapters present a detailed inquiry into how the diseases were defined, and how these definitions were used to counteract them. The effectiveness of the medical response is evaluated in the conclusion, which also examines the impact that the response to the trench diseases had on military-medical progress and medical specialisation. An analysis of the medical response to the trench diseases reveals a conflict between clinicians holding views on disease causation along a spectrum—contagionists, contingent-contagionists and con-figurationists. Faced with their inability to treat the trench diseases effectively, the book argues that the extremely diverse initial interpretation of the trench diseases was replaced by a majority view that all three were a product of the trenches. This enabled an effective response to be mounted, using public health methods, reinforced by discipline, close surveillance, administrative organisation, and cooperation between military and medical branches, as well as within the Army Medical Service.
Book Synopsis Health Care in the Trenches by : Jimmie K. Butts
Download or read book Health Care in the Trenches written by Jimmie K. Butts and published by . This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her second book, Health Care in the Trenches, nurse, humorist, public speaker, and author Jimmie Butts recounts her experiences on the road as a temporary-replacement family nurse practitioner in locations as diverse as Bethel, Alaska, and Morenci, Arizona. She worked with a wide variety of patientsincluding many from marginalized ethnic groups such as Native Alaskans, Native Americans, and Hispanicsin both urban and rural settings. These experiences quickly acquainted her with the real trenches of health care in America.Far more than a mere medical travelogue, Health Care in the Trenches describes both the colorful, unique cultural milieus the author found (including their indigenous humor) and the often unusual cases she encountered, as well as what she learned during those seven years about the present state of American health care and the art of nursing: My journeys . . . convinced me, more than ever, that one must perfect the art of caring for people.. . . The art of nursing requires active listening, looking into a patients eyes, looking and touching a patients body, and honing the skills that one needs in order to understand who the person is and what he or she is all about. . . .I hope you will see, through my experiences, that connecting with people, whether they are patients, customers, family, or co-workers by listening, touching, laughing, and caring, with your eyes, ears, and heart can make a difference. The rewards for you are priceless.Jimmie Butts observations and reflections are all the more significant because they come not from an idealistic novice, but from a highly experienced professional caregiver: she began the adventures recounted here after she passed age sixty, after she had retired from a distinguished forty-year career in nursing. And her perspective on American health care encompasses both ends of the stethoscope: in the midst of her time on the road, she became a patient herself, experiencing all the anxiety, pain, and treatment of breast cancer in 1996. Today she is alive and well, focused on communicating to others the value of loving life in spite of the nagging fears that they might have about recurrent illness.Health Care in the Trenches is a book for those interested in a first-hand account of the stark realities of the American healthcare system (especially as it applies to often-overlooked minority groups) and the art of nursing as described by one of its masterful practitioners. It is a book from and to the heart

Download or read book Madness: In The Trenches of America's Troubled Department of Veteran Affairs written by Andrea Plate and published by Marshall Cavendish International Asia Pte Ltd. This book was released on 2019-06-15 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enter the Kafkaesque world of America’s famous but notorious Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), where returning soldiers seek a new start to the rest of their lives. Can they overcome the traumas of war, and military service, if they are also at war with the VA? The answer is both No – government bureaucracy can be as formidable a foe as that on any battlefield or in the barracks – and Yes, given veterans’ willingness to face the demons of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), drug addiction and other military-related traumas with the help of fiercely committed social workers, psychologists and healthcare experts. Andrea Plate, author and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, spent 15 years working with America’s wounded warriors. From battlefield to bedside to group talk-therapy, she exposes the human face of war, up close and personal, and some of the most remarkably resilient souls who survived it.

Book Synopsis Electronic Medical Records by : Neil S. Skolnik
Download or read book Electronic Medical Records written by Neil S. Skolnik and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-20 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physician adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs) has become a national priority. It is said that EMRs have the potential to greatly improve patient care, to provide the data needed for more effective population management and quality assurance of both an individual practice’s patients and well as patients of large health care systems, and the potential to create efficiencies that allow physicians to provide this improved care at a far lower cost than at present. There is currently a strong U.S. government push for physicians to adopt EMR technology, with the Obama administration emphasizing the use of EMRs as an important part of the future of health care and urging widespread adoption of this technology by 2014. This timely book for the primary care community offers a concise and easy to read guide for implementing an EMR system. Organized in six sections, this invaluable title details the general state of the EMR landscape, covering the government’s incentive program, promises and pitfalls of EMR technology, issues related to standardization and the range of EMR vendors from which a provider can choose. Importantly, chapter two provides a detailed and highly instructional account of the experiences that a range of primary care providers have had in implementing EMR systems. Chapter three discusses how to effectively choose an EMR system, while chapters four and five cover all of the vital pre-implementation and implementation issues in establishing an EMR system in the primary care environment. Finally, chapter six discusses how to optimize and maintain a new EMR system to achieve the full cost savings desired. Concise, direct, but above all honest in recognizing the challenges in choosing and implementing an electronic health record in primary care, Electronic Medical Records: A Practical Guide for Primary Care has been written with the busy primary care physician in mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether our healthcare system reached its current crisis by way of fragmentation and misaligned policy or by way of self-interest and shortsightedness, what matters now is that the system is so convoluted and complex that only those intimate with its complex ways can hope to unravel the tangle.
