This book was released on 2005-03-24 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do doctors ever have fun while actively practicing medicine? I don't mean the fun they have while playing golf or fishing or boating or traveling on their time off. I mean when they are involved with patients who are ill or when they are med students learning how to handle such patients. . From those patients who can't tell right from left to those who swallow kumquats whole; from those who pester their doctors about their "bronchial" (aargh!)conditions, to those who call at three a.m to say, "Doctor, I was just lying here wondering ," these true episodes cover the gamut. My book, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the O.R., is a collection of stories that takes the reader from medical school through surgical training, into private practice, and to the day of my retirement as Medical Director. These stories are amusing and at times poignant, as well as personally revealing.

But he sees on the horizon a tempting way to improve his situation even more. Meeting many obstacles in his path he becomes a changed man, forceful, demanding, threatening those who oppose him in his climb to greater authority.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rollicking memoir from the cardiologist turned legendary scientist and winner of the Nobel Prize that revels in the joy of science and discovery. Like Richard Feynman in the field of physics, Dr. Robert Lefkowitz is also known for being a larger-than-life character: a not-immodest, often self-deprecating, always entertaining raconteur. Indeed, when he received the Nobel Prize, the press corps in Sweden covered him intensively, describing him as “the happiest Laureate.” In addition to his time as a physician, from being a "yellow beret" in the public health corps with Dr. Anthony Fauci to his time as a cardiologist, and his extraordinary transition to biochemistry, which would lead to his Nobel Prize win, Dr. Lefkowitz has ignited passion and curiosity as a fabled mentor and teacher. But it's all in a days work, as Lefkowitz reveals in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Stockholm, which is filled to the brim with anecdotes and energy, and gives us a glimpse into the life of one of today's leading scientists.

What more could you ask coming off a two year low after she retired struggling with the emotional stereotypes that deal with retirement and aging. It was not until a complicated surgery requiring six months in a wheelchair and endless rehab, turned her life in a new direction she could never have expected. Fighting fear, depression and the realization that she would once again have to start over, Becky shares her journey facing a new beginning discovering that it’s laughter that changes everything. Meeting passionate people who inspired her, chapters are filled with poignant stories from women and men who have proven that aging does not have to define you and new beginnings are possible. Their stories are powerful and highlight the determination it takes to live your best life and what the passage of time means to how capable we are of embracing change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Night Shift, Dr. Brian Goldman shares his experiences in the witching hours at Mount Sinai Hospital in downtown Toronto. We meet the kinds of patients who walk into an E.R. after midnight: late-night revellers injured on their way home after last call, teens assaulted in the streets by other teens and a woman who punches another woman out of jealousy over a man. But Goldman also reveals the emotional, heartbreaking side of everyday E.R. visits: adult children forced to make life and death decisions about critically ill parents, victims of sexual assault, and mentally ill and homeless patients looking for understanding and a quick fix in the twenty-four-hour waiting room. Written with Goldman’s trademark honesty and with surprising humour, The Night Shift is also a frank look at many issues facing the medical profession today, and it offers a highly compelling inside view into an often shrouded world.
