Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories Musings of a Hospital Surgeon It is nearly fifty years - to be quite accurate, fortyseven years, six months - since I entered as a student at one of our large London Hospitals. From that day to this, I have practically led a hospital life. I am an Honours Graduate of the University of London, and a Fellow of a Royal College and a Fellow of a Royal Society. I have taught students; and examined in more than one British University, and in more than one degree-granting college. I have been President of one Royal Medical Society, and of two other Medical Societies. I have been a Manager of one large General Hospital; and am, at the present time, a Governor of another. I give this record of my past career as an introduction to what I venture to hope will be accepted with all the greater credence and with all the more thoughtful consideration, I trust, it will thereby merit.

Book excerpt: A doctor's memoir in the best tradition of William Carlos Williams, Marc Flitter recreates the life-or-death drama of brain surgery as he has practiced it for more than twenty years, filling an imaginary hospital wing with the true stories of the patients and colleagues whose fates will haunt him forever. "His prose is as elegant and delicate as his surgery, and his characters come to life as those from the best short stories do, and yet their power derives from our realization that these are actual people whose lives have transformed the physician who encountered them" (The New York Times Book Review).
Download or read book Admissions written by Henry Marsh and published by Thomas Dunne Books. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2017 National Book Critics Circle (NBCC) Finalist, International Bestseller, and a Kirkus Best Nonfiction Book of 2017! “Marsh has retired, which means he’s taking a thorough inventory of his life. His reflections and recollections make Admissions an even more introspective memoir than his first, if such a thing is possible.” —The New York Times "Consistently entertaining...Honesty is abundantly apparent here--a quality as rare and commendable in elite surgeons as one suspects it is in memoirists." —The Guardian "Disarmingly frank storytelling...his reflections on death and dying equal those in Atul Gawande's excellent Being Mortal." —The Economist Henry Marsh has spent a lifetime operating on the surgical frontline. There have been exhilarating highs and devastating lows, but his love for the practice of neurosurgery has never wavered. Following the publication of his celebrated New York Times bestseller Do No Harm, Marsh retired from his full-time job in England to work pro bono in Ukraine and Nepal. In Admissions he describes the difficulties of working in these troubled, impoverished countries and the further insights it has given him into the practice of medicine. Marsh also faces up to the burden of responsibility that can come with trying to reduce human suffering. Unearthing memories of his early days as a medical student, and the experiences that shaped him as a young surgeon, he explores the difficulties of a profession that deals in probabilities rather than certainties, and where the overwhelming urge to prolong life can come at a tragic cost for patients and those who love them. Reflecting on what forty years of handling the human brain has taught him, Marsh finds a different purpose in life as he approaches the end of his professional career and a fresh understanding of what matters to us all in the end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking back, I can recall many memories from my careers. Early training led to the experience necessary to follow two careers, aviation and medicine. Being a Navy pilot was a good background to prepare me for the practice of surgery. Both require precision and accuracy. The passage of time has dramatically changed the practice of medicine and surgery. I was privileged to see some of the changes from the eyes of a surgeon practicing in a small town. Fifty years ago a doctor had to depend on his training and expertise to diagnose and treat illnesses. Todayas physicians also have the benefit of excellent technological advances to improve patient care. This book includes descriptions of some of these advances. It presents interesting experiences in the operating room and emergency room, as well as the trials and tribulations of starting my surgical practice. I share some thoughts on medical ethics, malpractice, and health care.

Written by "vintage" Minnesotans from The Guided Autobiography and poetry classes at Whitney Senior Center, their stories and poems are a collection of life's journey and the many paths taken. Inside, you'll find writing submissions that explore: Paths into creative writing Trails and tracks in nature Pathways of family members Passages through life's journey This anthology will make you think, laugh, and cry at the peculiar human condition we all find ourselves living. So, pour a mug of tea or coffee—maybe settle in with a glass of wine—and savor the diverse flavors of each writer's journey.
