Within three weeks of being diagnosed she had a mastectomy and was on the road to recovery. But after the surgery she had a lot of questions, the same that most women will have. As an Occupational Therapist, she knew some of the answers from her own clinical training and experience. But many more came from speaking with other women who had undergone mastectomies, from researching message boards, and a little bit of luck. Now she and her co-authors have brought together the answers to the questions that women face in chapters that cover everything from how to prepare for going to the hospital to when you come home" -- publisher's web site.
Download or read book A Patient s Guide to Coronary Bypass Surgery and Its Aftermath written by Douglas C. Ewing and published by Carol Publishing Corporation. This book was released on 1996 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multimedia is making some progress; this CD-ROM reaches toward using the technology to enhance learning (rather than as a novelty, unsuccessful either as entertainment or pedagogy, as we've seen in earlier, over-hyped multimedia products). It presents visuals that can be rotated 360 degrees, audio and text "captions," and some 200 animations that do, fairly successfully, convey visual conceptions of such activities as heart blood flow, smelling, hearing, breathing, etc. The product is carefully conceived, and will serve nicely as a novel supplement to introductory texts on the subject, for students who have access to the needed computer power. Available in separate Macintosh and Windows versions; needs 486 DX, Windows 3.1, 8 Mb RAM. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For patients considering weight loss surgery, there is an enormous amount of information to know. In a very few short years, the number of options for surgery have increased. Patients undergoing surgery need to know their surgical options, how they compare in outcomes and risks, and how to prepare before and after surgery. In addition, the dietary changes necessary after weight loss surgery require a significant amount of education. Patients need a resource to turn to when looking for appropriate foods to eat and when evaluating the foods that they want to eat. Education is the key to succeeding with weight loss surgery. Covering all this information is impossible in a single visit to your physician, or even after several visits. Considering Weight Loss Surgery is a resource for both the patient and for the physician. It serves to organize the information that needs to pass from surgeon to patient, and acts as a longstanding reference to patients well after they have had surgery. By standardizing the educational process and providing a reference for patients, better outcomes and better understanding can be obtained.
