Download or read book Medical Axioms written by Mark B. Reid and published by Primedia E-Launch LLC. This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His is the first edition collected tweets of Mark B. Reid, MD, @medicalaxioms. This project began in 2010 as place to share pithy quotes from famous old dead doctors. After running out of good content, I was forced to start making my own. Through the last 7 years, we've engaged in a jolly dialogue on the social media on topics ranging from common diagnostic mistakes to why it's good for a doctor to have a dog. While all the content is mine, it's richness comes as a result of the exchange between me and many other smart medical types on social media. This collection offers an inside look at medical education for students and residents and the observations of a doctor in practice for 20+ years. The statements within are not medical advice and should not be used to practice medicine, make medical decisions, or judge physicians or other healthcare workers. No axiom is true in all circumstances. Medicine is by it's very nature non-binary--there is seldom one right answer for a given situation. The treatment that is good for one patient may easily kill another. Thus the practice of medicine should be left to trained experts who combine book learning, current medical literature, years of supervised training and personal experience to engage in a complicated but maximally effective practice based on medical judgment. It is far easier to judge a single medical decision than to practice good medicine, day in and day out, for years. As you read you will find contradictory statements--sometimes two aphorism directly oppose one another. This is the practice of medicine. We must sometimes hold two contradictory statements in the mind at the same time, hanging on to two competing hypotheses until one or the other becomes more correct. I hope you enjoy these aphorisms but if you find one you don't like or you think you could write better, by all means do so! The instructions are contained within to send me edits and your own aphorisms. It's my intention that reading this book would be an active, not passive, process. It should get you thinking about the rules you use in your practice and their exceptions. I hope it makes you think about how you were taught and what you learned and how you teach others. It is intended to be interactive and I hope you don't agree with everything you read. There is much more style than evidence in a day of seeing patients.

Download or read book Medical Stigmata written by Kirk A. Johnson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book observes the idea of race as a false representation for the cause of disease. Race-based medicine, an emerging field in pharmacology, aims to create a specialty market based on racial groups. Within this market, the drug BiDil set a precedent in this area of medicine targeting African Americans as its first racial group. Consequently, selecting African Americans as a “starter group” led to ethical questions regarding the motive behind race-based medicine within the context of the larger treatment of blacks in American medical history. This book therefore links medicine and American eugenics, examines race-based medicine’s influence on the perception of the black body, traces the influence of BiDil’s approval on the resurgence of race-based medicine, and assesses the black church’s response to race-based medicine using black liberation theology as a means to social justice.

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.

This book was released on 2011-01-27 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential Medical Facts presents selected literature-based information clinicians need to know to provide informed patient care and avoid medical misadventures.

Of course, keeping up to date on current medical knowledge and being curious about the implications of published research conclusions not only help assure superior clinical performance; they also bolster the preparation for board examinations. Robert B. Taylor, MD is the author and editor of more than two dozen medical books and several hundred published articles, as well a veteran of both rural private practice and chairmanship of a medical school clinical department. Essential Medical Facts is written for clinicians in all specialties, at all stages of professional life.

Download or read book The Amazing Language of Medicine written by Robert B. Taylor and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the intriguing and often colorful stories of the medical words we use. The origins of clinical and scientific terms can be found in Greek and Latin myths, in places such as jungles of Uganda and the islands of the Aegean Sea, in the names of medicine’s giants such as Hippocrates and Osler, and in some truly unlikely sources. In this book you will learn the answers to questions such as: • What disease was named for an American space flight? • Do you know the echoic word for elephantine rumbling of the bowels? • What drug name was determined by drawing chemists’ notes out of a hat? • What are surfer’s eye, clam digger’s itch, and hide porter’s disease? This book can give you new insights into the terms we use every day in the clinic, hospital, and laboratory. Knowing a word’s history assists in understanding not only what it means, but also some of the connotative subtleties of terms used in diagnosis and treatment. The Amazing Language of Medicine is intended for the enrichment of physicians, other health professionals, students, and anyone involved in clinical care and medical science.
