More Meanderings in Medical History by Michael Nevins Pdf

These essays about various unrelated medical history subjects were composed over some three decades; some written recently, others published in my previous books. The title word "meandering" suggests randomness, but should not be mistaken for pointlessness for each vignette was prompted by something which at the time seemed relevant to my professional or personal life. The emphasis is on narrative history, stories of physicians at different times and places, for as my famous namesake Professor Allan Nevins once wrote, "history should be enjoyed, not endured."

Miracles and Other Unusual Medical Experiences by Byron Oberst M.D. Pdf

This book describes the many diverse experiences of a very active pediatrician from 1943 to 1988. This story begins when he was in medical school in 1943 and ends with his retirement thirty-seven years later in 1988. It includes post retirement stints as a Medical Director for a medical software company and being the Medical Director for a commercial plasma collecting center. He vividly describes many different and unusual medical cases including two true Miracles. One occurred in 1952 during the horrendous polio epidemic, Connie and the other one in the 1970s, Thumbelina. These Miracles are described vivid detail with all of their agonizing twists and turns. Neither patient should have survived with their many complications and circumstances, but with Gods grace they did. This book contains unusual and different exotic medical encounters when the author was in Japan while in the Army Medical Corps in 1949-1950. This book details why and how he had to become a pseudo-specialist in several fields in his early and middle practice years. There were few, if any, trained specialists during those early years. Dr. Oberst portrays a full and productive professional life in many ways which are described in this tome. This book is a pleasant and interesting read for everyone to enjoy. It contains humor, vivid descriptions, happiness, agonies, and pathos.

Tales of a Meandering Medic by Simon Gibson Pdf

My Memoir. It describes my journey through my working life as a Doctor. It also describes my experiences as a patient, and the wonderful life saving care I received from the NHS. There are also a few lines on my earlier life, as a Medical Student and how that impacted on my life as a Hospital Consultant Physician and Nephrologist (kidney specialist). The book consists of a series of vignettes describing episodes that have lingered in my memory. This is well illustrated by the vignette " A Legacy of Spina bifida". In this, I describe a courageous lady with spina bifida. Illustrations come mainly from Bing Pictures, although some are of my own creation. There is a detailed Glossary at the start of the book explaining abbreviations commonly used in Medicine, for example LP is the abbreviation for Lumbar Puncture, used in the vignette describing my own lumbar puncture. Towards the end of the book I describe my interaction with the Driving and Vehicle Licensing Authority (Autocracy), and the General Medical Council (Gang of Mealy mouthed Charlatans). Hopefully the book will entertain and educate. The intended reader is an average member of the public and no prior medical knowledge is required. Some over inflated egos may be punctured. So Reader, enjoy "Tales of a Meandering Medic".

Covid Ramblings by Michael Nevins Pdf

Each chapter in this brief compendium was prompted by something related to the COVID-19 pandemic which, in turn, led me to recall a subject often far removed from where I began. While digressing, I rejuvenated several oldies from my previous twelve books about medical history and added a few newbies. The titles of the last four of my books all included the word meanderings, but this time I’ve chosen to describe these essays as ramblings. I really don’t know why the change. Perhaps COVID effects the brain. In fact, I’m sure it does and this rather disjointed collection is the evidence.

Bedside Manners by Heather Frimmer Pdf

As Joyce Novak’s daughter, Marnie, completes medical school and looks ahead to a surgical internship, her wedding, and a future filled with promise, a breast cancer diagnosis throws Joyce’s own future into doubt. Always the caregiver, Joyce feels uncomfortable in the patient role, especially with her husband and daughter. As she progresses through a daunting treatment regimen including a biopsy, lumpectomy, and radiation, she distracts herself by planning Marnie’s wedding. When the sudden death of a young heroin addict in Marnie’s care forces Marnie to come face-to-face with mortality and her professional inadequacies, she also realizes she must strike a new balance between her identity as a doctor and her role as a supportive daughter. At the same time, she struggles with the stark differences between her fiancé’s family background and her own and comes to understand the importance of being with someone who shares her values and experiences. Amid this profound soul-searching, both Joyce and Marnie’s futures change in ways they never would have expected.
