Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people have visited a doctor's office or emergency room in their lifetime to gain clarity about an ailment or check in after a procedure. While doctors strive to ensure their patients understand their diagnoses, rarely do those outside the medical community understand the words and phrases we hear practitioners yell across a hospital hallway or murmur to a colleague behind office doors. Doctors and nurses use a kind of secret language, comprised of words unlikely to be found in a medical textbook or heard on television. In The Secret Language of Doctors, Dr. Brian Goldman decodes those code words for the average patient. What does it mean when a patient has the symptoms of "incarceritis"? What are "blocking" and "turfing"? And why do you never want to be diagnosed with a "horrendoma"? Dr. Goldman reveals the meaning behind the colorful and secret expressions doctors use to describe difficult patients, situations, and medical conditions—including those they don't want you to know. Gain profound insight into what doctors really think about patients in this funny and biting examination of modern medical culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secrets of Specialists A medical specialist has been defined as a physician or a surgeon who knows something about every disease and everything about some disease, but we find that this definition is not applicable to all physicians who are in special practice, for we find men at the highest pinnacle of the profession adding the title of specialist to their names, while the caption is also adopted by the boldest kind of an advertising quack. We therefore find that under the above title we could discuss many types of medical men, but inasmuch as every general practitioner is familiar with the work of the Reg ular Medical Specialist, we shall first discuss this subject from an advertising and non-ethical standpoint. What is to be said regarding advertising, is to explain the method rather than to encourage the practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Aclear-sighted, heartfelt, and humane story of the needless tests and treatments that cripple healthcare....as a guide to good medicine, it may help us get back to the essence of what good doctors do: be with patients in healing." —Samuel Shem, M.D., author of The House of God and The Spirit of the Place In Hippocrates’ Shadow, Dr. David H. Newman upends our understanding of the doctor-patient relationship and offers a new paradigm of honesty and communication. He sees a disregard for the healing power of the bond that originated with Hippocrates, and, ultimately, a disconnect between doctors and their oath to"do no harm." Exposing the patterns of secrecy and habit in modern medicine’s carefully protected subculture, Dr. Newman argues that doctors and patients cling to tradition and yield to demands for pills or tests. Citing fascinating studies that show why antibiotics for sore throats are almost always unnecessary; how cough syrup is rarely more effective than a sugar pill; and why CPR is violent, invasive—and almost always futile, this thought-provoking book cuts to the heart of what really works, and what doesn’t, in medicine.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secrets of Specialists: Incorporating Profitable Office Specialities In the year 1903 the author launched his first publication, the "Secrets of Specialists," in which he endeavored to unfold the somber robe which had formerly clothed some of the "Secrets and mysteries connected with the healing art, and present information which is not generally found in medical text books, relative to the different methods of treatment, which are successfully used by medical men, who style themselves as Specialist, but are familiarly known to the ethical physicians under the pseudonym of "quacks." This publication was greeted with the general approval of the medical Profession, and in s short time three very large editions were exhausted. Two years ago the author published a companions book entitled "Profitable Office Specialties," in which he attempted to promote the usage of such specialties as are used by the ethical physicians, and are conducive to large financial returns, and inasmuch as all former editions of both publications have been nearly exhausted, he has decided to blend in this publication the cream of both books, under the title of "The Secrets of Profitable Office Specialties," with the object of not only exposing the methods used by advertising Medical men and Professional promoters, who are fleeing the Profession by the sale of some secret system, with an extra charge for territorial right, but also to outline the remunerative Medical and Surgical specialties, which are used by the ethical practitioner and will render assistance in establishing an office practice, for either the specialist or general practitioner.
