Book excerpt: ‘ ‘A riveting read of the difficult and important things of what medics do.’ Matthew Heneghan doesn't see people at their best. Instead, they come to him in desperate need. The experience of needing a medic can be like waking up in a foreign country. You frantically want to know, ‘What is happening with me?’ The ability to reassure people, to give the foreign country a ‘name,' helps people. Author Matthew Heneghan always knew he wanted to be a medic. In this raw new medical memoir, he interweaves the stories of his growing up with the brutal realities of living with life and death each day. With sensitive observation and graceful writing, this book explores the highs and lows of being a paramedic in a world where everything is not always what it seems. Matthew writes that being a paramedic caused his ‘soul to bleed.’ It is not about the practicalities of the job but about the evil of the world that he is forced to see day after day. He calls himself part of the ‘walking wounded.’ In ‘A Medic’s Mind -Love, Loss and All Things in between,’ Matthew Heneghan writes of the life-altering experiences and other struggles he faced in his journey to becoming a good medic – from being a youth in a home where his mom struggled with mental illness, to his medic training in the United States army. He tells of exhausting shifts as a paramedic and coming face-to-face with his own mortality and the socioeconomic dilemmas of his patients. It is a read not to be missed!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear washer/dryer manufacturers, Among the many cautionary statements placed on your products, I believe you should add an additional one to prevent unintentional consequences of otherworldly proportions. As fantastic as that may sound, this very letter is in fact one of many unintentional consequences of your appliances having been used to wash plush toys. I am unfortunately not able to elaborate any further on the details, but I plead with you to consider adding the following statement on all your manufactured goods: Caution: Plush toys should not be washed using this device. Sincerely yours, Doctor S. Have you ever washed plush toys using your washer and dryer? If so, did you notice strange, unexplainable things happening around your house soon afterward? Perhaps all the chocolate and/or baked goods vanished from your household? Perhaps you got home from work to find everything a mess? Perhaps your alarm clock ring tone changed by itself? After having washed your plush toys, did you ever get the feeling they were staring back at you? If any of this sounds familiar, then Sam and Nathan’s adventures with their plush toy, Doctor S, may shed light on what may be happening at your house. Warning: You may want to hide your diamonds and your chocolate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is a very thorough and up-to-date clinical handbook and reference for the primary care Doc or nurse. . . . if you have a favorite Family Doc or Internist or Nurse Practitioner--or administrator--and you want them to have a nice gift, buy them this book. But read it before you give it away." --JOURNAL OF NEUROTHERAPY The Handbook of Mind-Body Medicine for Primary Care introduces an evidence-based mind-body approach to the medical and behavioral problems of primary care patients. Evidence-based mind-body practice draws on the best available scientific research, advocating the integration of well-documented mind-body therapies into primary health care. The handbook summarizes current mind-body practice and provides an overview of the basic techniques, including biofeedback, neurofeedback, relaxation therapies, hypnotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapies, acupuncture, and spiritual therapies. The editors also thoroughly demonstrate the application of these techniques to common disorders such as headache, chronic pain, and essential hypertension, as well as anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and sleep disorders. The Handbook includes educational models with guidelines for physicians, nurses, physicians′ assistants, and behavioral health practitioners. The book closes with a look at the existential and spiritual side of the human encounter with sickness and disease. This handbook will benefit a wide variety of health providers in primary care. The Handbook is divided into four parts: Part I introduces the conceptual models from the psychophysiological perspective for understanding functional medical problems. Part II describes specific clinical tools and interventions. Part III overviews the best documented cognitive-behavioral approaches and alternative therapies to common disorders. Part IV provides educational models for practitioners in each of the mind-body disciplines.

Download or read book Talking Trauma written by and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Man, I've seen, believe it or not, a head-on accident in the parking lot of a Macy's sale. What do they have, those white sales, is that what they have? The parking lot was completely barren except these two cars that hit each other head on. This little old lady and some other idiot. How do you do that?! A barren parking lot! Completely empty, morning, nobody there, and somehow they managed to hit each other head on. Well, it was just enough trauma to kill her, you know? Barely any damage but, you know, a little old lady driving a big car, a big old gnarly steering wheel and that's enough to kill an elderly person and stuff ." As they race to and from emergency calls, as they wait and watch, and as they administer aid to the traumatized, paramedics tell stories. Their tales disclose much about how they view their own profession. Their duties are much more complex than the dramatic portrayals that reach the living room via the television screen. This book reports what really goes on behind the scenes. The reader of Talking Trauma has a virtual front seat in the ambulance. Here the focus is not on the mechanics of the job but rather on paramedics' work culture and their well-established storytelling tradition. The stories they tell are cynical, flip, and profane--the very antithesis of "heroic" in the romantic sense. Their narratives evince an "anti-epic" quality that intentionally trivializes the conventional immensities of pain and horror. Paramedics present the gothic as "business as usual," and mainly their stories are intended only for the ears of other paramedics. Their stories afford a shocking glimpse into a chaotic urban underworld where prostitution, drug abuse, assault, and murder are daily fare. Outsiders may expect their tales to be only about horrific mutilation and death. However compelling such topics may be to the layperson, the actual repertory is most often commentary on personal experience and revelation of the "why" behind the stories paramedics tell. Talking Trauma provides an intimate look into a work culture deliberately kept hidden from public view. It is not centered on individuals the public may stereotype as streetwise, hardened caregivers but upon the stories of self-presentation by which paramedics structure past events to fit into their identity. This fascinating book reveals how storytelling equips these professionals to exert control over chaos and to withstand encounters with suffering, death, and mayhem on a daily basis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Most important, there is no evidence that the good will built by U.S. doctors transferred to the South Vietnamese forces, and in fact the opposite may have been true: American programs may have emphasized the inability of the South Vietnamese government to provide basic health care to its own people. Furthermore, the programs may have demonstrated to Vietnamese civilians that foreign soldiers cared more for them than their own troops did. If that is the case, the programs actually did more harm than good in the attempt to win hearts and minds."--BOOK JACKET.
