Download or read book My Surgical Cases Told In Poems written by Paul Edward Kaloostian MD and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few understand the life that physicians and surgeons lead. They communicate with people that have no where else to go for help. They are brought face to face with challenging medical conditions and are required to be at their best all the time in order to heal the sick and suffering. I often talk with friends who are not in medicine about my hours and cases and they always seem to be unaware, and often times uninterested, in what we do for a living. We have been given a tremendous responsibility to enter the lives of other human beings in order to learn more about their problems in an attempt to alter their current path of health. We have taken an oath to constantly learn and provide the best care possible. It is a true joy and challenge to do this. And so I wanted to share this trip with you all. Each poem stems from a separate surgical case that I have encountered in my training in New Mexico. Each tells a story and hopefully sheds some light on what we do on a daily basis. Please enjoy!

Book Synopsis Rejuvenating Medical Education by : Alan Bleakley
Download or read book Rejuvenating Medical Education written by Alan Bleakley and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Returning to Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey for inspiration, this book uses these epics as a medium through which we might think imaginatively about key issues in contemporary medicine and medical education. These issues include doctors as heroes, and the legacy of heroic medicine in an age of clinical teamwork, collaboration and a more feminine medicine. The authors challenge ingrained habits in medical education, such as the way we characteristically “train” medical students to communicate with patients and colleagues; the reduction of compassion to the “skill” of empathy; the rote recital of the medical history as a “song”; and the new vogue for “resilience” as response to increasing levels of stress and burnout in the profession. A Homeric lens also shows new ways of thinking about translation of medical lingo into patients’ understanding, the relatively high levels of anger and error shown in clinical interactions, and modern phenomena such as “whistleblowing” in the face of unacceptable error or misbehaviour. While exhaustion and burnout are becoming more common in medicine, the authors ask if a more lyrical, rather than epic and tragic stance, might benefit medical work. Drawing on a wealth of experience in the field, the book promotes a new kind of medicine and medical education fit for the 21st century, but envisages these through the ancient lens of Homer’s two epics. In the heroic glory elaborated in the Iliad and the themes of homecoming and hospitality set out in the Odyssey, Homer provides a narrative arc that is a blueprint of modern medicine’s development from a heroic endeavour to a contemporary collaborative provision of hospitality, where the hospital remains true to its name and doctors engage in work of care rather than “fighting” disease with the hospital as battleground.
Download or read book Mend written by Kwoya Fagin Maples and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2018-11-16 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inventor of the speculum, J. Marion Sims, is celebrated as the "father of modern gynecology," and a memorial at his birthplace honors "his service to suffering women, empress and slave alike." These tributes whitewash the fact that Sims achieved his surgical breakthroughs by experimenting on eleven enslaved African American women. Lent to Sims by their owners, these women were forced to undergo operations without their consent. Today, the names of all but three of these women are lost. In Mend: Poems, Kwoya Fagin Maples gives voice to the enslaved women named in Sims's autobiography: Anarcha, Betsey, and Lucy. In poems exploring imagined memories and experiences relayed from hospital beds, the speakers challenge Sims's lies, mourn their trampled dignity, name their suffering in spirit, and speak of their bodies as "bruised fruit." At the same time, they are more than his victims, and the poems celebrate their humanity, their feelings, their memories, and their selves. A finalist for the Association of Writers and Writing Programs Donald Hall Prize for Poetry, this debut collection illuminates a complex and disturbing chapter of the African American experience.

Book Synopsis EDGAR ALLAN POE: 72 Short Stories and Novels & 80+ Poems; Including Essays, Letters & Biography (Illustrated) by : Edgar Allan Poe
Download or read book EDGAR ALLAN POE: 72 Short Stories and Novels & 80+ Poems; Including Essays, Letters & Biography (Illustrated) written by Edgar Allan Poe and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-16 with total page 1827 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edgar Allan Poe's collection of 72 short stories, novels, and over 80 poems, along with essays, letters, and biography, offers a comprehensive insight into the mind of this renowned American literary figure. Poe's unique blend of macabre themes, psychological depth, and intricate symbolism sets him apart as a pioneer of Gothic fiction and a master of the short story form. His hauntingly beautiful prose and melancholic tone create a sense of unease and suspense that captivates readers from start to finish. This illustrated edition allows readers to fully immerse themselves in Poe's world, appreciating both the words on the page and the visual depictions that accompany them. Edgar Allan Poe's personal struggles, including the loss of loved ones and battles with alcoholism, heavily influenced his writing and added a profound depth to his exploration of themes such as death, love, and madness. His ability to craft intricate plots and memorable characters reflects his keen understanding of human psychology and his fascination with the darker aspects of human nature. I highly recommend Edgar Allan Poe's collection to readers who appreciate gothic literature, psychological depth, and masterful storytelling. This comprehensive volume showcases Poe's diverse talents and offers a unique glimpse into the mind of one of America's most celebrated literary figures.
