Fresh Medicine by Phil Bredesen Pdf

An authoritative, engaging, and nonpartisan look at what is wrong with American health care and how we can fix it—“told with skill and grace” (Jon Meacham, author of American Lion). Former Governor of Tennessee and CEO of HealthAmerica Corporation, Phil Bredesen “knows the American health care system inside and out. He knows both the theory and, more importantly, how things really work.” In Fresh Medicine, he analyses the current state of American Health Care, beginning with a clear-eyed critique of the Affordable Care Act (Bill Frist, M.D., former Senate majority leader). According to Bresden, the Obama Administration ushered million more people into a broken system while doing little to address the underlying problems. Looking back over the past century, Bresden explains how that system developed from local doctors making house calls to today’s sprawling insurance model. What began as an insurance system to cover hospitalization has expanded to cover drugs, doctor visits, and the treatment of chronic disease. American health care, Bredesen asserts, needs to be reset on a new foundation. In Fresh Medicine, he harnesses thirty years of experience to offer a new solution.

Clinical Maternal-Fetal Medicine by Hung N. Winn,John C. Hobbins Pdf

Maternal-fetal medicine has evolved over the last three decades to become a well-established discipline. The current understanding of maternal physiology and pathophysiology has allowed us to obtain more accurate diagnoses and to provide more effective treatments of medical, surgical, and obstetrical maternal complications. More importantly, the fetus has become a distinct individual whose in utero environment has become much more accessible to study, diagnose, and treatment. Clinical Maternal-Fetal Medicine addresses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of common medical and obstetrical maternal complications and fetal complications. It provides a concise and timely review of clinically relevant topics in this discipline. The textbook is a comprehensive reference covering the wide range of disciplines that make up maternal-fetal medicine.

Easymedicine by Biswajit Biswas Pdf

The unique feature of the book is to highlight the root cause of disease. Advancement of civilization practically kept us away from natureour modern lifestyle, incorrect dietary habits, and environmental pollution account for the causes of diseases and health problems. It is not practical to go back to the old civilization and avoid pollution. It is not fruitful to advice aged people to do exercise or busy people to live in a pollution-free environment. A simple and easy method is therefore suggested for preventing disease: to take sufficient chlorophyll and color pigments (bioflavonoid), which are available and plenty in nature in fruits, vegetables, green leaves, and nontoxic colored flowers. The role of detoxification, intake of dietary fiber, and five basic cares are the other important aspects to increase the longevity. The author also highlights an alternative but easy method of treatment of disease and maintenance of health by introducing home medicine for family treatment. Under this system, the number of medicines is only few (about ten), hence there is no confusion of application of medicine. Thus the book provides us basic information on the causes of disease and how to keep away disease from life. Hope many people will be benefited by keeping this book.

Medical Ethics in the Ancient World by Paul J. Carrick Pdf

In this book Paul Carrick charts the ancient Greek and Roman foundations of Western medical ethics. Surveying 1500 years of pre-Christian medical moral history, Carrick applies insights from ancient medical ethics to developments in contemporary medicine such as advance directives, gene therapy, physician-assisted suicide, abortion, and surrogate motherhood. He discusses such timeless issues as the social status of the physician; attitudes toward dying and death; and the relationship of medicine to philosophy, religion, and popular morality. Opinions of a wide range of ancient thinkers are consulted, including physicians, poets, philosophers, and patients. He also explores the puzzling question of Hippocrates' identity, analyzing not only the Hippocratic Oath but also the Father of Medicine's lesser-known works. Complete with chapter discussion questions, illustrations, a map, and appendices of ethical codes, Medical Ethics in the Ancient World will be useful in courses on the medical humanities, ancient philosophy, bioethics, comparative cultures, and the history of medicine. Accessible to both professionals and to those with little background in medical philosophy or ancient science, Carrick's book demonstrates that in the ancient world, as in our own postmodern age, physicians, philosophers, and patients embraced a diverse array of perspectives on the most fundamental questions of life and death.
