Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections - Houston Methodist Hospital: A Supplement to Houston Hearts: A History of Cardiovascular Surgery and Medicine and The Methodist DeBakey Heart ... Vascular Center, Houston Methodist Hospital paperback version has a separate Index available on Amazon. The inspiration for Reflections came to Dr. William L. Winters, Jr. more than a decade ago when he and the late Dr. Don W. Chapman were philosophizing about the extraordinary changes that had taken place in the practice of medicine, and in particular the advances in cardiovascular medicine over the past 60 years, most all of which they had each experienced or participated in personally.Acutely aware that many other physicians on the Houston Methodist Hospital medical staff, as well as members of the administration, also were active participants in this exceptional history, Dr. Winters knew a story was there to be told. It was then he began to conduct video interviews with long-standing members of the medical staff to chronicle some of that story to prevent it being lost from memory.Starting with Dr. Chapman and ultimately including Drs. DeBakey and Cooley, among more than 70 others, it became more than a decade-long effort. With more than 2,500 years of experience at Houston Methodist Hospital among them, the participants collectively contributed a treasure trove of personal observations and reflections that ultimately served as one of the key reference sources in Houston Hearts: A History of Cardiovascular Surgery and Medicine and the Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center, Houston Methodist Hospital, the book written by Dr. Winters with Betsy Parish and published in 2014.The transcripts from these video and audio-recorded, personal interviews are each dated and presented with limited revisions for clarification purposes, thus reflecting the candid, conversational style of the format. As a result, the transcripts may not exactly match the video and audio recordings. To view the recorded sessions in their entirety for further research, please contact the Librarian Archivist at the Houston Methodist Professional Education Center.Index for the paperback version of Reflections is available for purchase on Amazon.

Book excerpt: Wars, hate, bloodshed, and savage events started in Iraq and the Middle East more than 1,400 years ago, long before the discovery of America and the establishing of the United States of America. The hate culture had been the real problem in the Middle East for hundreds of years. Certainly it is not the USA, even in the case of the Arab-Israel conflict in modern history. It is well-known that the various American administrations tried to find a peaceful end to this conflict. Unfortunately,the Arab leaders always give the public an impression that they are very close to defeating Israel, and they put the blame for not doing it on the USA. The Arab leaders and the media ignore that the Israelis have had nuclear weapons since the '60s. Only a naïve person would think that the Israeli people will follow the steps of the crusaders by boarding ships and leaving the Middle East. The Israelis will not keep their nuclear weapons in boxes and leave, asking the Arab leaders to dust them occasionally. They will use them to defend their existence, and a new map for the Middle East will emerge. The Arab government officials still cannot see that Iran-Syria and its associates in Iraq and Lebanon are the enemy and the real threat to them and the whole world. The Iranians used thousands of twelve-year-old Iranian Muslim children to walk through the mine fields to clear the way for the regular Iranian military forces during the Iran-Iraq war. Also, they used chemical weapons, political assassinations, and international terrorism. The hate culture directed toward Israel along with the corruption, oppression, and all other aspects of the hate culture cloud the judgment of the Arab officials and the public.

He has met most leaders in Churches of Christ globally. He has been active in several religious and rhetoric societies and has worked with leaders in all these organizations to bring about changes over the past sixty years. C. Clifton Black and Duane F. Watson wrote about Olbricht, "Tom Olbricht possesses a memory of elephantine proportions. Not only does he have at his fingertips the names and places and dates; better than most he understands how the study of rhetoric has flourished among, while cross-pollinating, multiple disciplines in the humanities, classics, English, speech communication, and religion."

Download or read book John P. McGovern, MD written by Bryant Boutwell and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John P. McGovern held seventeen professorships, received twenty-nine honorary doctorates, and established the nation’s largest privately owned allergy and immunology clinic. He authored 252 professional publications including twenty-six books in the medical sciences and humanities, and served as president or chief elected officer of fifteen professional societies in medicine. In addition, the McGovern Foundation has given millions of dollars to various local and national health charities, and many Houston landmarks bear the McGovern name, including the McGovern Lake and McGovern Children’s Zoo (at Houston’s Hermann Park), the McGovern Health and Science Museum, and the McGovern Campus of the Texas Medical Center. Bryant Boutwell, a long-time friend and colleague, has captured the influential life of this visionary Texas physician in John P. McGovern, MD: A Lifetime of Stories. In captivating narrative, interlaced with revealing personal and family stories, Boutwell chronicles McGovern’s holistic approach to medicine, which transcended the traditional boundaries of institutional identities and medical specialties. McGovern worked tirelessly to bring together big institutions, the health professions, bold interdisciplinary ideas, and a team approach to healthcare that, though prescient at the time, is recognized today as imperative. This commitment led to his founding role in the American Osler Society, which promotes humanistic and ethical dimensions of the practice of medicine, and his establishment of humanities programs at the UT Health Science Center at Houston and the UT Medical Branch at Galveston.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An engaging, compelling and disturbing confrontation with evil ...a book that will be transformative in its call for individual and collective moral responsibility." – Michael A. Grodin, M.D., Professor and Director, Project on Medicine and the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel Center for Judaic Studies, Boston University Human Subjects Research after the Holocaust challenges you to confront the misguided medical ethics of the Third Reich personally, and to apply the lessons learned to contemporary human subjects research. While it is comforting to believe that Nazi physicians, nurses, and bioscientists were either incompetent, mad, or few in number, they were, in fact, the best in the world at the time, and the vast majority participated in the government program of “applied biology.” They were not coerced to behave as they did—they enthusiastically exploited widely accepted eugenic theories to design horrendous medical experiments, gas chambers and euthanasia programs, which ultimately led to mass murder in the concentration camps. Americans provided financial support for their research, modeled their medical education and research after the Germans, and continued to perform unethical human subjects research even after the Nuremberg Doctors’ Trial. The German Medical Association apologized in 2012 for the behavior of its physicians during the Third Reich. By examining the medical crimes of human subjects researchers during the Third Reich, you will naturally examine your own behavior and that of your colleagues, and perhaps ask yourself "If the best physicians and bioscientists of the early 20th century could do evil while believing they were doing good, can I be certain that I will never do the same?"

Book excerpt: This collection of 150 daily devotionals came into existence at Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital. Ideas and stories may have taken flight somewhere along the way, but ultimately they were generated from the spiritual care office, usually early in the mornings. What started as a monologue quickly turned into a dialogue as staff and then guests and patients began picking them up and responding, turning them into holy conversations. While some of the stories are hospital-based, the vast majority came out of author Mark H. Youngs life experiences, illustrating that Gods footprints are truly everywhere. While brief by intentionto offer the reader a quick glance while on the clockit also provides a deeper reflection about the holy and wonderful God in our midst. From outer space to the human race, there is something for anyone wanting to ponder the reality of a God who loves us.
