Book excerpt: This is the fascinating and inspirational story of the life and struggle of Dr. William M. Scholl. Born on a farm in Indiana, he worked his way through medical school in Chicago, and invented and brought to market, in the face of widespread scepticism, one of the most successful product lines in the field of health care. Against all the odds, strong opposition from the medical and chiropody fraternities, two World Wars, and the greatest economic depression of the twentieth century, he and his brother Frank, who brought the business from Chicago to England, Europe, Africa and the Antipodes, persevered and succeeded in establishing a worldwide organisation with six thousand employees. These two young men were blessed with an extraordinary degree of imagination and vision, and were many years ahead of their contemporaries both in terms of evangelical marketing and selling techniques on the one hand, and human and industrial relations on the other. This phenomenon was summarised by one of Dr. Scholl's managers in Latin America who exclaimed to him one day: Scholl is not a business, it is a religion - and you are the Pope. In 1979, when Scholl was taken over by a large multi-national pharmaceutical company it was financially sound, healthy and happy with six thousand employees worldwide. Sadly executives, who did not take the trouble to perceive how Scholl had become so successful, rushed in. This story contains lessons on many issues of successful and principled business practice for aspiring executives.

Download or read book The Physician written by Noah Gordon and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 984 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An orphan leaves Dark Ages London to study medicine in Persia in this “rich” and “vivid” historical novel from a New York Times–bestselling author (The New York Times). A child holds the hand of his dying mother and is terrified, aware something is taking her. Orphaned and given to an itinerant barber-surgeon, Rob Cole becomes a fast-talking swindler, peddling a worthless medicine. But as he matures, his strange gift—an acute sensitivity to impending death—never leaves him, and he yearns to become a healer. Arab madrassas are the only authentic medical schools, and he makes his perilous way to Persia. Christians are barred from Muslim schools, but claiming he is a Jew, he studies under the world’s most renowned physician, Avicenna. How the woman who is his great love struggles against her only rival—medicine—makes a riveting modern classic. The Physician is the first book in New York Times–bestselling author Noah Gordon’s Dr. Robert Cole trilogy, which continues with Shaman and concludes with Matters of Choice.

Download or read book Minimally Invasive Surgery of the Foot and Ankle written by Nicola Maffulli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-12-25 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minimally Invasive Surgery of the Foot and Ankle represents a novel approach to treatment of orthopedic problems in the foot and ankle. The gradual change of philosophy in the management of foot and ankle surgery means that patients require a less invasive approach to surgery and a consequent improvement in recovery time. Describing the techniques and, importantly, the indications for minimally invasive procedures for the management of foot and ankle ailments, this book will explain the management of various conditions and how they can be approached using minimally invasive techniques. However, rather than only concentrating on minimally invasive surgery of the foot and ankle, the authors will be examining the options open to surgeons operating in this area – both open surgical and arthroscopic – and explaining the benefits of each. Extensive radiographs, diagrams, and intra-operative pictures will illustrate the procedures described.

Download or read book Secrets to Keep Moving a Guide from a Podiatrist written by Richard Blake and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-24 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard L Blake, D.P.M. is a practicing podiatrist in San Francisco, California, at the famed Center For Sports Medicine, St. Francis Memorial Hospital. This book is a good mixture of the art and science of that medical practice. The emphasis of the book is on the conservative treatments of injuries of the foot, ankle, and lower leg. Dr Blake emphasizes conservative, and when appropriate, simple approaches to these injuries. He tries hard to establish a healing environment for the patient at the first visit, and then works the patients through all the phases of rehabilitation. This book begins by covering some general topics like what rules not to break, then discusses general rehabilitation principles, general treatments of pain, bio-mechanical approaches to injury, and gait evaluation. He then describes some of the general rules of treatment concerning tendinitis, nerve injuries, and fractures. In the second part of the book, Dr Richard Blake uses many of these general principles and begins to describe top treatments for injuries in the front of the foot, mid part of the foot, heel area, ankle, achilles tendon area, and lower leg not involving the knee or above. Some of the more common injuries described are:Hallux Limitus/RigidusBunionsSesamoid InjuriesMetatarsalgiaMorton's NeuromaMetatarsal FracturesHammertoesCallusesBlistersCapsulitis or Plantar Plate TearsGoutToenail FungusLisfranc's SprainAccessory NavicularGanglion CystsPlantar FasciitisPlantar Fascial TearsCalcaneal Stress FracturesAnkle Sprains and InstabilitiesPosterior or Anterior Tibial TendinitisPosterior Tibial Tendon DysfunctionAchilles TendinitisAchilles RupturesCalf StrainShin SplintsTennis LegCompartment SyndromesTibial or Fibular Stress FracturesCramps or Deep Vein ThrombosisWith 95% of all of the lower extremity pain syndromes and injuries not requiring any form of surgery, a book specializing in a conservative and thoughtful approach to most ailments is very needed. Dr Rich Blake tries to get the patient very involved with their own healing is obvious throughout the book. The emphasis of a conservative approach must require the patient's involvement. This book will help the patient know the subtleties of various treatments like stretching, strengthening, starting to run, looking for a stable shoe, power lacing for stability, which injection to get for a neuroma, why not to use NSAIDs if bone injury is suspected, when support hose are not doing the right job, etc. Through the 35 years that Dr Richard Blake has practiced sports medicine, teaching his patients why certain treatments are used, and what they need to do, is always stressed. His teaching started with patients, but has involved both the national and international worlds of podiatry. He has given over 200 lectures around the world, written 40 plus articles, has a blog and YouTube channel, but his patient's needs and injuries have always come first. He considers his simple approach to most injuries probably boring to some podiatrists, but the patients have truly benefited. The approach that is emphasized in the book is to immediately create a healing environment, gradually get stronger, and gradually return to your previous activities. The book also emphasizes finding the cause or causes of the injury or it may eventually come back. The subtleties of the individual injury can be in the patient's presentation, how they respond to various treatments, and making changes appropriately when the treatment at times stalls.
