Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than four decades, surgeon and educator Glenn Geelhoed has taken medical missions to the poorest parts of the globe to treat patients at no cost and train locals to dispense care. Drawn from indelible memories, personal papers, and Geelhoed's daily journals, Gifts from the Poor takes readers along on his journey. Whether he is stitching wounds, delivering babies, mentoring younger colleagues, or challenging destructive cultural practices, Geelhoed constantly discovers the power and dignity of each individual. From solid, Midwestern beginnings, Geelhoed developed a profound drive to explore the world. What he found both thrilled and goaded him, and shaped a career in which he jousted with medical establishments, confronted corruption, and followed his own instincts. Geelhoed exposes the true mechanics of foreign medical aid and development and proposes game-changing alternatives to the status quo. Most of all, he advocates an upside-down approach to international medical service in which the educated healer gathers a wealth of wisdom from the poorest patients. A self-described "hunter-gatherer" whose interests range far beyond his profession, Geelhoed takes readers outside the medical tent to experience adventures in some of the world's harshest environments. His exploits as a marathon runner, photographer, and hunter add an unexpected dimension to his portraits of life on the edge. An inspiring tale of compassion, conviction and grit, Gifts from the Poor is Geelhoed's invitation to join him in healing a wounded world. His determination and energy will empower you in your own life's journey. All proceeds to be donated to the Medical Mission Hall of Fame Foundation.

Book excerpt: Inspiring and uplifting, this is the extraordinary the story of Dr Sanduk Ruit who, like his mentor Fred Hollows, took on the world's medical establishment to give the life-changing gift of sight to hundreds of thousands of the world's poorest and most isolated people. 'A true insight into my remarkable friend Dr Sanduk Ruit.' - Gabi Hollows 'He reminds me of Don Bradman. They both have a God-given talent and skill...' - Ray Martin 'If I've done one thing in life I'm proud of, it's launching Ruit into the world'. - Fred Hollows 'One of the greatest people I've ever met.' - Joel Edgerton 'I've known Dr Sanduk Ruit for over thirty years. He is one of our greatest living eye surgeons and humanitarians... Watching him give the gift of sight is like watching someone give a second life.' - Richard Gere Inspiring and uplifting, this is the extraordinary story of Dr Sanduk Ruit who, like his mentor Fred Hollows, took on the world's medical establishment to give the life-changing gift of sight to hundreds and thousands of the world's poorest and most isolated people. It is the story of a boy from the lowest tiers of a rigid caste system who grew up in a tiny, remote Himalayan village with no school to become one of the most respected ophthalmologists in the world and a medical giant of Asia. Compelling and compassionate, it is also the story of a young doctor who became Fred Hollows' medical soul mate and who chose to defy the world's medical establishment and the lure of riches to make the world a better place.

Download or read book Furthest Peoples First written by Glenn Geelhoed and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the world’s remotest populations need medical care and training, Mission to Heal takes the operating rooms to them—no matter how far away they are. Dr. Glenn W. Geelhoed is a medical doctor, humanitarian, and the founder of Mission to Heal (M2H), an organization through which he has conducted medical mission trips around the globe for over forty years. Using mobile surgery units made from repurposed rugged vehicles, M2H provides needed surgery to some of the world’s most destitute people in some of the most desolate places on the planet. Just as —or even more—important is the crucial surgical training M2H provides to local citizens so that they can take over after Dr. Geelhoed and his teams move on to their next mission. Furthest Peoples First tracks Dr. Glenn Geelhoed’s latest missions in three African transects during the first seven months of 2019. Humanity and humility underscore the essence of M2H’s efforts to reach the neediest first. With powerful stories of overland treks and culturally rich photojournalism, Dr. Geelhoed shares the people he met and the challenges his team faced—and the determination, patience, and partnerships that make his work successful, rewarding, and essential. Readers will be surprised, shocked—and uplifted—by how this team persevered in the face of countless unimaginable obstacles. The title Furthest Peoples First refers to individuals and groups who are the furthest from care and whom the author considers his primary focus. The resourcefulness of the furthest peoples embodies the hope they have for their own progress. Dr. Geelhoed believes that this hope should be enhanced through education and training and not be smothered by handouts, takeovers, or a one-size-fits-all standardization of medical care from first-world redundancy. Dr. Geelhoed received his BS and AB from Calvin College and his MD cum laude from the University of Michigan. He completed his surgical internship and residency through Harvard University at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital and Boston Children’s Hospital Medical Center. To continue his work of creating further volunteer surgical services in underserved areas of the developing world, he completed master’s and doctoral degrees in international affairs, epidemiology, health promotion and disease prevention, anthropology, tropical medicine, educational leadership, and philosophy. Dr. Geelhoed has received numerous recognitions for his work in global healthcare, including the prestigious humanitarian award for outreach to the underserved from the American College of Surgeons, one of the highest honors in the surgical field. He is professor of surgery and international medical education at George Washington University Medical Center in Washington, DC, and is a member of numerous medical, surgical, and international academic societies. Dr. Geelhoed is also an avid game hunter and runner. He has completed more than 165 marathons across the globe, and he is a widely published author, credited with several books and more than 800 published journal articles. When he is not on overseas M2H missions, he resides at his home in Derwood, Maryland, and enjoys spending time with his two sons and five grandchildren. With the proceeds from this book, the author hopes to sustain, support, and institutionalize M2H’s vital work and attract volunteers to join him in that work and his educational efforts.

Download or read book The Ethics of Surgery written by Robert M. Sade and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to popular belief, technical skill is far more important for surgeons than thoughtful deliberation. Nothing could be further from the truth. Although surgeons must sometimes make decisions rapidly on the basis of incomplete evidence and must respond to unexpected catastrophes in the operating room rapidly, those events are intermittent - most of the time surgeons deliberate on diagnostic problems and thoughtfully manage postoperative care, which is often intellectually challenging.The relationship of surgeons with their patients is, in a real sense, far more intimate and trusting than that of any other professional, a claim that is supported by the fact that patients surrender their bodies to their surgeons in a state of total helplessness and vulnerability when they undergo anesthesia. Because of that responsibility, no other professional group has a greater sense of dedication to the welfare of their patients than surgeons.Surgical culture is deeply steeped in ethics, and surgeons confront and resolve ethical dilemmas as much or more than most other professionals, although they often may not recognize the situations they resolve are problems in ethics - they are just part of the daily routine. This book is a compendium of articles from the recent surgical literature that address ethical issues chosen by surgeons because they are controversial and pertinent to the practice of surgery. The reader will not find a great deal of sophisticated dissection of fine philosophical distinctions in these discussions of ethical conflicts and controversies in surgery. Instead, they will discover differing viewpoints from thoughtful essayists, mostly surgeons, whose feet are firmly in contact with the ground and who have extensive experience in the real world of surgery, medicine, and law.
