Book excerpt: Becoming a doctor was never her dream, but a doctor she did become. Welcome to the world of an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist whose journey as a doctor took her to places as varied as Africa, Jamaica, Papua New Guinea and Brunei, through experiences not many doctors would have or even want to have, ending her successful career as an active practitioner with the latest trend in the field of medicine, e-consulting. The Reluctant MD: A Gynaecologist’s Journey provides an insight into the tension-packed life of a doctor who has to think on her toes to bring smiles on her patients’ faces. Behind every baby delivered, every case solved is the story of her struggle to get everything right, a story a patient never gets to hear. And, of course, the amazing highs of impacting someone’s life directly, and the deep lows when patients do poorly. In short, every day is a new day with unanticipated challenges for her. The account leads us through the various incidents she encountered to become the successful doctor she eventually became. At once hilarious, horrifying and heart-breaking, this medical memoir leaves you wondering about many things – the quest for happiness, the pursuit of dreams, the meaning of success, but above all, the need to do one’s best, regardless.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named to Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2018 Winner of 2019 International Book Awards (General Fiction and Inspirational Fiction Categories) Winner, 2019 New York City Big Book Award (General Fiction) Between Doubt and Belief The Reluctant Healer tells the story of a young attorney who is torn between mounting evidence that he has the spiritual ability to heal others and his life-long skepticism of alternative views. Will Alexander is cautious and conventional. But when he meets Erica, a beautiful, intense energy healer, he becomes troubled not only by her unorthodox endeavors but also by the limitations of his own existence. Amidst this turmoil, Will is startled to discover that he may possess metaphysical gifts of healing that confront the narrow doctrines of his regulated life. The Reluctant Healer paints a portrait of a reasonable man who traces a path between skepticism and belief. Flawed, funny, and agnostic, Will distrusts much of the alternative world, even as he struggles internally with phenomena that challenge both his sense of self and his orderly perspective. Will’s love for Erica, the exposure to her world, and his newfound powers place his life in a state of uncertainty, teetering between disruption and liberation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlock the healing power of cannabis medicine and discover the cutting-edge science behind its remarkable impact on human health. Millions of people around the world are healing illnesses with cannabis. Nonetheless, many physicians remain reluctant to discuss cannabis medicine with their patients. And with so much conflicting misinformation from unreliable sources, finding out if cannabis could be an effective treatment for you or a loved one can feel nearly impossible. This book is the comprehensive resource for people who have not found relief from conventional medicines. Bonni Goldstein, MD, has helped thousands of patients suffering from chronic, difficult-to-treat conditions improve with cannabis. In this revelatory book, she explains the current state of scientific research on how cannabis interacts with human physiology to create homeostasis -- balance -- leading to good health. Many of the plant's compounds, including CBD and CBG, and their therapeutic effects are explained in detail. Readers will learn how to best navigate the multitude of available cannabis-based products, with detailed guidance on safety and usage, and how to customize a personalized cannabis regimen. And Dr. Goldstein presents 28 common conditions for which patients have found cannabis treatment to be effective, including cancer, insomnia and gastrointestinal disorders. As medical cannabis laws continue to evolve, it is more vital than ever for struggling patients to understand the benefits of this plant from an honest, medicine-based perspective. Educational, practical, and thorough, Cannabis Is Medicine empowers patients to make informed decisions about this natural medicine and improve the quality of their lives.
Download or read book Uncaring written by Robert Pearl and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctors are taught how to cure people. But they don’t always know how to care for them. Hardly anyone is happy with American healthcare these days. Patients are getting sicker and going bankrupt from medical bills. Doctors are burning out and making dangerous mistakes. Both parties blame our nation’s outdated and dysfunctional healthcare system. But that’s only part of the problem. In this important and timely book, Dr. Robert Pearl shines a light on the unseen and often toxic culture of medicine. Today’s physicians have a surprising disdain for technology, an unhealthy obsession with status, and an increasingly complicated relationship with their patients. All of this can be traced back to their earliest experiences in medical school, where doctors inherit a set of norms, beliefs, and expectations that shape almost every decision they make, with profound consequences for the rest of us. Uncaring draws an original and revealing portrait of what it’s actually like to be a doctor. It illuminates the complex and intimidating world of medicine for readers, and in the end offers a clear plan to save American healthcare.

Book Synopsis The Reluctant Doctor by : Reggie Waldrup
Download or read book The Reluctant Doctor written by Reggie Waldrup and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-02-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I trudged full force into the medical profession without understanding exactly why my fate of becoming a doctor was set in stone by a very persuasive Jewish mother. Well meaning, she brainwashed me to live her dream rather than my own. I rebelled unsuccessfully to escape this fate, but I was overmatched in the attempt to do so. My highly unusual experiences along the way were shaped by the child within me trying to meet subconscious maternal expectations which were resisted by my well disguised inner calling in other directions. These inner passions later surfaced in unanticipated ways and allowed me eventually to become the person with whom I could come to terms. The story starts with my interesting collegiate years at the University of Pennsylvania. Entering this Institution, I felt totally inadequate to match up to, what I considered to be, "Ivy League Geniuses". I was relieved when I found out with enough studying, unlike my slacking off approach to my high school courses, I could not only succeed but excel to do well enough to gain admittance to one of the best medical schools in the country. My first year in med school started well enough with me winning the top anatomy award in my class. It quickly changed when I discovered I did not like the clinical work and actually hated the sight of blood or other assorted bodily fluids. Totally disillusioned with medicine I took refuge in chasing women and playing sports for the following 6 years. Many bizarre and hilarious experiences resulted during my concluding medical school years, my internship in Philadelphia and the following year returning to my childhood home in the New York City area. Completely disgusted with internal medicine during that horrific internship year I broke off an engagement in Philadelphia, relinquishing my apartment to my fiancé and waited for my career changing residency in Long Island to begin. The year off following my waiting period between internship and residency in radiology continues to be filled with many unusual and comedic experiences, though some painful at the time. I candidly admit my addictive crutches along the way during my many career phases so that my readers can gain an understanding of how apparently successful professionals make it through the pressure situations they often confront. My future wife settled me down during our early romantic months followed by our wedding eight months after we met at a dance in an upper eastside bar in New York City. I was able to turn around my prior dismal performance in radiology to become one of the best residents and passing my radiology board exam. It seemed like I had it made with the birth of our first child and passing a very challenging radiology board exam to be certified in my chosen field. The book concludes with the move of my expanding family to Baltimore to begin a fellowship. This adventure begins what is the material of Part 2 of my story.

Book Synopsis Death Foretold by : Nicholas A. Christakis
Download or read book Death Foretold written by Nicholas A. Christakis and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2001-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book explains prognosis from the perspective of doctors, examining why physicians are reluctant to predict the future, how doctors use prognosis, the symbolism it contains, and the emotional difficulties it involves. Drawing on his experiences as a doctor and sociologist, Nicholas Christakis interviewed scores of physicians and searched dozens of medical textbooks and medical school curricula for discussions of prognosis in an attempt to get to the core of this nebulous medical issue that, despite its importance, is only partially understood and rarely discussed. "Highly recommended for everyone from patients wrestling with their personal prognosis to any medical practitioner touched by this bioethical dilemma."—Library Journal, starred review "[T]he first full general discussion of prognosis ever written. . . . [A] manifesto for a form of prognosis that's equal parts prediction-an assessment of likely outcomes based on statistical averages-and prophecy, an intuition of what lies ahead."—Jeff Sharlet, Chicago Reader "[S]ophisticated, extraordinarily well supported, and compelling. . . . [Christakis] argues forcefully that the profession must take responsibility for the current widespread avoidance of prognosis and change the present culture. This prophet is one whose advice we would do well to heed."—James Tulsky, M.D., New England Journal of Medicine
Book Synopsis The Reluctant Psychic by : Suzan Saxman
Download or read book The Reluctant Psychic written by Suzan Saxman and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all, as children, saw imaginary friends and heard monsters in the closet. But for Suzan Saxman, those friends and monsters didn't go away—and they weren't imaginary. They were the dead who came to her from the time she was a little girl with urgent messages for the living. Raised in a house filled with secrets, she saw and spoke the truth as soon as she could talk, alarming the nuns in her convent school with her revelations and terrifying her own mother with her strange visions. Each night she woke to see a man with no eyes watching her, and each day she kept watch by the window while her father was at work and Steve, her real father, a swarthy drifter, rendezvoused with her mother. It was the 1960s in suburban Staten Island and she tried to hide it all, and be a daughter her mother could love. Always skeptical of her tremendous gift, she struggled to come to terms with her calling even as she revealed the destinies of everyone, from housewives to hit men, stockbrokers to rock-and-rollers. She could witness everyone's future—everyone's but her own. Why was she visited by angels and demons? Could she ever escape this strange fate? Where was her own soul mate? Now Suzan tells the story of her journey and tries to make sense of her family's buried secrets. Through powerful readings of others' destinies interwoven with compelling narrative, a reluctant psychic emerges from the shadows.
Download or read book Deep Medicine written by Eric Topol and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Science Friday pick for book of the year, 2019 One of America's top doctors reveals how AI will empower physicians and revolutionize patient care Medicine has become inhuman, to disastrous effect. The doctor-patient relationship--the heart of medicine--is broken: doctors are too distracted and overwhelmed to truly connect with their patients, and medical errors and misdiagnoses abound. In Deep Medicine, leading physician Eric Topol reveals how artificial intelligence can help. AI has the potential to transform everything doctors do, from notetaking and medical scans to diagnosis and treatment, greatly cutting down the cost of medicine and reducing human mortality. By freeing physicians from the tasks that interfere with human connection, AI will create space for the real healing that takes place between a doctor who can listen and a patient who needs to be heard. Innovative, provocative, and hopeful, Deep Medicine shows us how the awesome power of AI can make medicine better, for all the humans involved.
Download or read book Overtreated written by Shannon Brownlee and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-06-25 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our health care is staggeringly expensive, yet one in six Americans has no health insurance. We have some of the most skilled physicians in the world, yet one hundred thousand patients die each year from medical errors. In this gripping, eye-opening book, award-winning journalist Shannon Brownlee takes readers inside the hospital to dismantle some of our most venerated myths about American medicine. Brownlee dissects what she calls "the medical-industrial complex" and lays bare the backward economic incentives embedded in our system, revealing a stunning portrait of the care we now receive. Nevertheless, Overtreated ultimately conveys a message of hope by reframing the debate over health care reform. It offers a way to control costs and cover the uninsured, while simultaneously improving the quality of American medicine. Shannon Brownlee's humane, intelligent, and penetrating analysis empowers readers to avoid the perils of overtreatment, as well as pointing the way to better health care for everyone.
Book Synopsis Reluctant Engagement: U.S. Policy and the International Criminal Court by : Mark D. Kielsgard
Download or read book Reluctant Engagement: U.S. Policy and the International Criminal Court written by Mark D. Kielsgard and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-09-24 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why has the United States taken such a firm stance against the International Criminal Court (ICC) and expended such diplomatic goodwill in an attempt to dismantle a tribunal that poses no serious risk to its citizens? This book critiques causal ideologies such as American exceptionalism, state sovereignty and laissez-faire capitalism to show how U.S. opposition is driven by pervasive political, legal, historic, military and economic conditioning factors. It shows how U.S. attitudes transcend partisan politics and predicts how the U.S.-ICC relationship will be affected by the economic crisis, shifting international geopolitical power structures, the crisis in the U.S. military, unfolding international human rights law and the “politics of change” promised by the nascent Obama administration. “The United States has been at the centre of international criminal justice initiatives, from Nuremberg to the more recent ad hoc tribunals for the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Lebanon. But its position has been lukewarm and sometimes, in the darkest days of the Bush administration, outright hostile to the International Criminal Court. Filling a gap in the literature, Dr Mark Kielsgard reviews the history of American policy, analysing the factors that have driven it, making useful and practical suggestions aimed at greater engagement of the United States with the International Criminal Court.” Professor William A. Schabas
Book Synopsis The Reluctant Healer by : Steven Bailey, ND
Download or read book The Reluctant Healer written by Steven Bailey, ND and published by Square One Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before mid-1930s, health care in America was composed of many approaches. There coexisted a diversity of medical schools, each addressing a different facet of the healing arts. It was in the late 1930s that young Ralph Weiss was trained at the American School of Naturopathy in Manhattan, New York, under the guidance of Dr. Bendict Lust, the father of naturopathy. Dr. Weiss' path has crossed many of the pioneers of the naturopathic movement, including Kellogg, Pfeiffer, Shelton, Lee, Bragg, Walker and Howell, to mention just a few. Among the many patients he worked with was Edgar Cayce, the Sleeping Prophet. It was he who named Weiss his "reluctant healer." Whether by accident or fate, here is a personal look at a life dedicated to helping others in the gentle art of using nature to heal.
Book Synopsis Joseph Jones, M.D. by : James O. Breeden
Download or read book Joseph Jones, M.D. written by James O. Breeden and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the many books written over the past century about the Old South and the American Civil War, a very few explore the scientific history of the South or the medical history of the war itself. In the first volume of this impressive biography of Joseph Jones, Mr. Breeden does much to illuminate the development of scientific thought and of medicine in the nineteenth-century South. Jones was far in advance of most of his fellow physicians. The thoroughness of his research, the tenacity of his effort, and the brilliance of his findings won him respect while he was still a very young scholar. When the war came, he showed himself fiercely patriotic as a soldier but coldly empirical as a scientific investigator of many infectious diseases. In the course of the biography the author illumines the development of modern medicine in this country and the state of the nation's medical schools in the middle of the nineteenth century. The greater part of this volume is devoted to Jones's wartime service, which was mainly behind the battle lines in the hospitals and prison camps. The growth of the problem of gangrene among the wounded—a horrifying result of overcrowding and lack of sanitation—is examined in particularly telling detail; the ravaging of the Andersonville prison camp by this and other diseases was the subject of some of Jones's most controversial research, and his written report as a reluctant witness in the trial of the Southerners held responsible. At the outset of the war, Joseph Jones was an energetic and well trained young doctor with considerable experience in teaching and research; by its end he was perhaps the foremost expert on infectious diseases in the South or in the nation.
