Book excerpt: This story documents the lengthy journey from mild traumatic brain injury to healing for a small-town obstetrician and gynecologist. He does us the service of describing his injury and challenges in open and honest terms. Those who have dealt with concussion and its continual effects will find common ground here with the author. We all learn how even “minor” head trauma can have major impacts. We feel his pain, we learn of his battle, and we share his progression to healing. We are motivated when we realize that he continues his work of service to his patients through these challenges. Along the way, we are taught lessons of patience, tolerance, following priorities, and dedication. We are inspired by the fight and recovery detailed and reassured by his dependence on a greater power. We learn of how love can be a great tool for healing, and how challenges lead to maturity. We see in action, the scripture, “all things work for good...to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28.

Download or read book The Western Medical Tradition written by Lawrence I. Conrad and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-08-17 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text, written by members of the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine and first published in 1995, is designed to cover the history of western medicine from classical antiquity to 1800. As one guiding thread it takes, as its title suggests, the system of medical ideas that in large part went back to the Greeks of the eighth century BC, and played a major role in the understanding and treatment of health and disease. Its influence spread from the Aegean basin to the rest of the Mediterranean region, to Europe, and then to European settlements overseas. By the nineteenth century, however, this tradition no longer carried the same force or occupied so central a position within medicine. This book charts the influence of this tradition, examining it in its social and historical context. It is essential reading as a synthesis for all students of the history of medicine.

Download or read book She Can Bring Us Home written by Diane Kiesel and published by Potomac Books. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before it became the slogan of the presidential campaign for Barack Obama, Dorothy Ferebee (1898–1980) lived by the motto “Yes, we can.” An African American obstetrician and civil rights activist from Washington DC, she was descended from lawyers, journalists, politicians, and a judge. At a time when African Americans faced Jim Crow segregation, desperate poverty, and lynch mobs, she advised presidents on civil rights and assisted foreign governments on public health issues. Though articulate, visionary, talented, and skillful at managing her publicity, she was also tragically flawed. Ferebee was president of the Alpha Kappa Alpha black service sorority and later became the president of the powerful National Council of Negro Women in the nascent civil rights era. She stood up to gun-toting plantation owners to bring health care to sharecroppers through her Mississippi Health Project during the Great Depression. A household name in black America for forty years, Ferebee was also the media darling of the thriving black press. Ironically, her fame and relevance faded as African Americans achieved the political power for which she had fought. In She Can Bring Us Home, Diane Kiesel tells Ferebee’s extraordinary story of struggle and personal sacrifice to a new generation.

There was the endless queuing for rations that never seemed to stretch quite far enough, the blackouts and the air raids. But, if times were hard, they were also simpler, and in Voices in the StreetMaureen remembers with great fondness her early years with her wise old grandad, the enjoyment of riding on tram cars, the weekly wash house gossip and the people and places of her childhood. When she left school at fifteen, Maureen immediately started her working life with a job at the local sweetie factory, coming of age in the era of Teddy Boys and rock 'n' roll and enjoying the dancing with her best friend Betty. Then, as Maureen grew up, she found her love, only to see him borrowed in the name of National Service. But, through good times and bad, she would never forget growing up in Dundee.
