Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Hearst's International and, fortunately for posterity, the gist of Paul H. De Kruif's monumental work has been preserved in book form, Our Medicine Men which is a series of brilliant essays, and his name will be venerated by future generations. We can only comment briefly upon the scholarly works of De Kruif. How it was possible for one man in a single lifetime to marshal the vast amount of material he presents is beyond comprehension. He takes up the study of medical practice from antiquity until the present day. His only desire is "to inquire into the causes for its present extraordinary magnificence and prosperity, and to discover, if possible, whether these are due to a commensurate increase in the value of its service." He shows that feeble attacks have been made against medicine by Butler, Moliere, Da Vinci, and Shaw; but these failed. But he will succeed. Paracelsus, Galen, and a host of other fathers of medicine are portrayed in all their ignominy. The rank and file of medical men today are no better than those who followed Galen; therefore quackery and fakery abound. (Any student of logic will be able to explain this to the ordinary, illiterate physician.) De Kruif has gone through all there is in medicine with judicious wisdom, separating the good from the bad and throwing most of it into limbo. Little is left. Vaccines, group medicine, psychoanalysis, specialists, medical colleges, these and many others are dissected without mercy, and we are shown with startling clarity that it is all a sham and worthless, utterly worthless. Gone, forever gone, are the days of the good old family doctor. Here we find the only note which approaches any pity for the heartless tribe of medical men. It is high time this group of rascals were exposed, vendors of nostrums, fee splitters. cunning aids of heartless drug houses, pretending to cure while injecting vaccines and gloating over the bodies of their slain victims, not forgetting to send bills for fabulous sums to the relatives of the departed. Could a more heartbreaking picture be painted? Could anything be so monstrous?.... -International Record of Medicine and General Practice Clinics

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Medicine Men A part of these essays has appeared in "The Century Magazine," and their publication has aroused the profound displeasure of many serious and possibly important persons. The pieces have been variously denounced as destructive, ignorant, rotten, wrong-headed, and detrimental to progress. This writer deplores these criticisms, for, while it is true that he had no intention to moralize or to improve the world, he did attempt to recount in a fair and restrained manner the reactions which twelve years of contact with medicine men have called forth in him. He has made an earnest effort to be restrained, but, try as he would, it was impossible to avoid introducing a faintly ribald flavor into his writings. He hastens to assure his readers that this has crept in not because medicine is in essence wholly ribald or ridiculous. On the other hand, he believes that of the five great professions it stands next to that of engineering in its contributions to progress. The ribaldry has appeared by reason of a slight, but incurable, clownishness and impishness of his own mind.

Book excerpt: Willow Taylor lives in a castle with large walls and iron fences. But this is no ordinary castle. It's called Heartstone Psychiatric Hospital and it houses forty other patients. It has nurses with mean faces and techs with permanent frowns. It has a man, as well. A man who is cold and distant. Whose voice drips with authority. And whose piercing gray eyes hide secrets, and maybe linger on her face a second too long. Willow isn't supposed to look deep into those eyes. She isn't supposed to try to read his tightly-leashed emotions. Neither is she supposed to touch herself at night, imagining his powerful voice and that cold but beautiful face. No, Willow Taylor shouldn't be attracted to Simon Blackwood at all. Because she's a patient and he's her doctor. Her psychiatrist. The medicine man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Refreshing and eloquent" – Libby Purves, The Times "Quin's acute powers of observation vividly convey the hinterland of the modern general hospital ... A medical memoir for the Trainspotting generation." – The Tablet *** Surgeons cut, but physicians... what do physicians actually do? And is it true that other doctors really call them 'the magicians'? John Quin worked for thirty-three years as a physician for the NHS in both Scotland and England, specialising in endocrinology. Days on the wards were uproariously funny one minute, infinitely tragic the next. Starting with a stern lesson from the president of the British Society of Gastroenterologists that the younger doctor was not 'a f****** comedian', Dr Quin, Medicine Man is packed with vividly told tales of the joy and reward of getting the diagnosis right, the disaster of getting it wrong. Darkly amusing and with a keen eye for the absurd, this sharply observed memoir is not only an acute insight into the farcical frustrations and tensions of working in a chronically underfunded system but also a timely reminder of the humanity of the NHS staff who care for us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modern medicine man portrayed through the words of the people he has helped Robert J. Conley did not set out to chronicle the life of Cherokee medicine man John Little Bear. Instead, the medicine man came to him. Little Bear asked Conley to write down his story, to reveal to the world “what Indian medicine is really about.” For Little Bear, as for the Cherokee ancestors who brought their traditions over the Trail of Tears to Indian Territory, the medicine is about helping people. Visitors from neighboring states and Mexico come to him, each one seeking help for a different kind of problem. Each seeker’s story is presented here exactly as it was told to Conley. Little Bear has cured problems involving health, relationships, and money by uncovering the source of the problem rather than simply treating the symptoms. Whereas mainstream medicine and counseling have failed his patients, Little Bear’s healing practices have proven beneficial time and again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating real-life adventure, a chance meeting with a young Navajo Indian propels an English traveler out of his middle-class London life and into the world of North American Indian Medicine Men. Here, people firmly believe that witchcraft can bring ruin, even death, and only Medicine Men have the knowledge to do battle with evil, lift curses and restore the sick to health. Blue Horse is one of a dwindling band of Medicine Men traveling the vast Navajo nation of New Mexico and Arizona. Charles Langley, a former London newspaper executive, becomes his "bag carrier" and chauffeur and eventually his trainee. He sees the Medicine Man perform feats: foretelling the future, uncovering the hidden past and communicating with spirits. Vowing not to leave his brains at the teepee door, Langley studies the accumulating evidence that Medicine Men really can cure the sick, change events of long ago and influence the future. Across the breathtaking Southwest landscape and along the fabled Route 66, he meets startling characters and gains rare access into ancient healing traditions.
