Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Residency offers practical, no-nonsense advice about the business and economics of being a medical doctor. Used as a textbook in the Business of Medicine Course at East Carolina University's Brody School of Medicine, this edition is designed to work more broadly for other institutions teaching business of medicine courses and for new physicians starting out in practice. Recalling his days in medical school, Marc Lyles, senior director of health care affairs for the Association of American Medical Colleges said, "Whenever we asked a business question we were always told, 'Don't worry about that. You need to learn the medical side before you worry about the business side.'" He states that between 2003 and 2007, the majority of students were satisfied with their medical and clinical training. However, less than half felt that enough time was devoted to the practice of medicine, especially to medical economics. The Brody School of Medicine addresses that discrepancy, offering its Business of Medicine Course as a fourth-year elective and as a postgraduate class for students in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Topics addressed include time value of money, contracts, RVUs, disability and life insurance, and investment plans such as traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. In 2015, the Business of Medicine Course received a positive score of 4.68/5 (94%) for its value to medical students, and Beyond Residency received a score of 3.89/4 (97%) for its effectiveness in teaching students the business of medicine. Beyond Residency helps students to understand important yet under-explored areas that will impact them as practicing physicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book - which includes essays by physicians, philosophers, and a nurse - is divided into three parts: one deals with how empathy is weakened or lost during the course of medical education and suggests how to remedy this; another describes the historical and philosophical origins of empathy and provides arguments for and against it; and a third section offers compelling accounts of how physicians' empathy for their patients has affected their own lives and the lives of those in their care. We hear, for example, from a physician working in a hospice who relates the ways that the staff try to listen and respond to the needs of the dying; a scientist who interviews candidates for medical school and tells how qualities of empathy are undervalued by selection committees; a nurse who considers what nursing can teach physicians about empathy; another physician who ponders whether the desire to be empathic can hinder the detachment necessary for objective care; and several contributors who show how literature and art can help physicians to develop empathy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the Medical Meltdown describes the predicament we are in today in relation to health care and prescribes positive and concrete solutions to create a new effective and affordable health care system. These solutions require us to step out of the box and form new economic partnerships of practitioners and patients on local levels throughout the United States. These cooperative partnerships of mutual responsibility are a third force that will take the place of both conventional insurance companies that drain communities of resources and create adversarial relationships with families and small businesses, and large governmental programs with unsustainable bureaucracies and rigid rules. This book will engage the reader with imaginative yet practical solutions to our health care dilemmas. It calls upon us to create something new that serves everyone in the healing of illness.

Book excerpt: The care of ICU patients has seen many improvements over the years, both with regard to technical aspects and supportive measures. The first part of this book analyzes nutritional support at various levels, ranging from the cell level to the whole-body aspect; drawing on recent prospective randomized studies, the authors propose a new approach for oral, enteral and/or parenteral nutrition. The second part underlines the interference between nutrition and outcome to reach recovery, giving to this field an increased importance for better short and long term management: The best glucose control, individualized nutritional support and the avoidance of harmful interferences is extensively discussed. The final part deals with patients suffering from multi-organ failure and the need for a better understanding of the interactions between disease and nutrition. Identification of the metabolic condition of the patient, existence or not of evidence-based medicine, expert opinion, treatment opportunities and the case manager recognizing threats are all integrated to reach the appropriate decision. This last part will help the reader to untangle the complexity of the ICU patient of the 21st century and to propose a personalized nutritional support process.

Book excerpt: There is healing "beyond medicine?" Betty Dye, housewife, mother of several children—and a psychic healer. In 1970, she treated James DePass who was suffering from nausea and stomach pains. Mrs. Dye went into a trance, diagnosed the trouble and put her hands on the patient. His pain vanished. Cecile Diamond, age 14, suffered from inflammation of the brain. Rabbi Solomon Friedlander, a spiritual healer, placed an amulet in her hand and prayed. The next day she was able to leave the hospital. These cases and the many more in Beyond Medicine are all documented, frequently by the use of medical statements taken before and after psychic healing has taken place. Beyond Medicine probes into a relatively unknown and little-explored area of human activity—healing—and, cutting into the cant of the medical establishment, gives credibility to a group of remarkable individuals.

This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost half a century, Vivian Nutton has been a leading figure in the study of ancient (and less ancient) medicine. The field itself has been revolutionised over that time. In this volume distinguished colleagues and former students develop, in his honour, key themes of his ground-breaking scholarship. Spanning from the Bronze Age to the Digital Age, involving the cult of Artemis and the corpuscular theories of Asclepiades of Bithynia, the medicinal uses of beavers and the cost of health-care and wet-nursing, case-histories, remedy exchange and the medical repercussions of political assassination, this book has at its centre the pluralism and diversity of the ancient medical marketplace. The lively interplay between choice and competition, unity and division, communication and debate, so notable in Vivian Nutton's foundational vision of the world of classical medicine, is richly examined across these pages.
