Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many patients leave the doctor’s office feeling frustrated and rushed, with unanswered questions. It’s a common concern—that by expediting a patient’s visit, doctors may miss important information for the sake of brevity. And for patients seeking to discuss alternative therapies outside of conventional medicine, they especially need time to discuss and confirm the truth of their personal research. In The Unfettered Urologist, readers will learn and benefit from the opinions, intuition, and common sense of Martha B. Boone, M.D. —a urologist with over thirty years of working experience and fifteen years of collegiate study. Those seeking detailed insight into the world of urology will learn what Dr. Boone always wanted to tell her patients, but could never pack into a fifteen minute office visit. The Unfettered Urologist explains: Common urology problems and options for readers to start treatment at home, with the confidence of an experienced specialist Inside information not available in medical texts or medical websites Important questions to facilitate office visits when needed When to save healthcare dollars for prevention and treatment (prior to seeing a doctor) The inner workings of the medical profession and thus be able to better utilize the system True stories of medical scenarios and real-life cases Healing techniques outside of conventional medicine that have worked in conjunction with traditional medicine In some cases, how to avoid invasive procedures Entertaining, informative, and packed with unexpected insight, The Unfettered Urologist leads readers through the health care system with humor and candor.

Mehr als die Hälfte der Männer dieses Landes sind irgendwann in ihrem Leben von einer erektilen Dysfunktion betroffen. Zu viele Männer werden mit Prostatakrebs diagnostiziert oder haben Probleme beim Wasserlassen. Frauen stehen ihnen mit ihren hartnäckigen Problemen, sexuell erregt zu werden, einen Orgasmus zu bekommen, oder dem Umgang mit Schmerzen beim Sex, in nichts nach. Wirft man das Ganze in einen Topf, erhält man Lustlosigkeit.Kommt dann noch eine defekte "Sanitäreinrichtung" wie Inkontinenz bei beiden Geschlechtern hinzu, dann verspürst man erst recht das Bedürfnis, gleichzeitig lachen und weinen zu müssen. Allerdings würde ich davon abraten, da man sonst anfängt zu tropfen!Obwohl es da nichts zum Lachen gibt, wird das Gespräch über Urologie das unterhaltsamste sein, was man mit seinen engsten Freunden je geführt hat. Fügt man dieses Buch hinzu, sind Lacher vorprogrammiert, während man gleichzeitig die Antworten darauf erhält, was da unten vor sich geht. Finde die Antworten darauf, wie man seine Sanitäreinrichtung wieder in Gang bringt und seine Lebensqualität zurückgewinnt.Unabhängig von der eigenen sexuellen Orientierung konzentriert sich dieses Buch auf die Funktion von Penen und Vaginen und wie diese die Lebensqualität beeinflussen können. Am Ende sind wir uns alle durch unsere Sanitäreinrichtungen und alles, was damit einhergeht, ähnlich. Es gehört zum gesunden Menschenverstand, dass man die Wahrheit über die menschliche Sanitäreinrichtung kennt. Die Urologie ist eine grundlegende Mahnung, dass man stets bemüht sein sollte, zu allen Menschen freundlich zu sein, egal wie unterschiedlich man zu sein glaubt. Urologische Probleme sind Regler der menschlichen Rasse.Seit fast 20 Jahren ist die Autorin mit ihrem Ehemann, dem rekonstruktiven Urologen, dem "Penisdoktor", verheiratet. Er hat eine der meistbesuchten Arztpraxen der Stadt. Für sie war es also ein Klacks, eine Liste der Top 10 häufigsten urologischen Probleme bei Männern und Frauen aufzustellen. Als Ehefrau des Penisdoktors übersetzt die Autorin auf einfühlsame und humorvolle Weise medizinisch urologische Situationen. Dieses Buch ist einfühlsam genug für jeden Mann zum Lesen, lustig genug für jede Frau zum Genießen und lehrreich genug, um jedem Bekannten ein Exemplar zu schenken.

New Orleans, 1982. Voodoo spells, prostitutes, prisoners, and veterans who are adamant about the size of their manhood—it’s all just another day at Charity Hospital, also known as The Big Free. It’s a medical free-for-all with the toughest trauma surgery in America, and Elizabeth—fresh from medical school in Charleston, wearing pearls and pink plaid socks—is one of the first women to work there. Half of the doctors who start the surgery program never finish. Nothing in her proper Southern upbringing prepared Elizabeth for the gritty and gruesome world she now experiences on a daily basis. And even if she’s tougher than anyone first expected, the question remains . . . will she make the cut? Full of drama, humor, and New Orleans flavor, The Big Free is a young doctor’s coming of age story as only a true medical insider can tell it.

Download or read book The Emperor of All Maladies written by Siddhartha Mukherjee and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-08-09 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS, this New York Times bestseller is “an extraordinary achievement” (The New Yorker)—a magnificent, profoundly humane “biography” of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years. The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against cancer.” The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist. Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.

Download or read book My Body Politic written by Simi Linton and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2015-01-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I read My Body Politic with admiration, sometimes for the pain that all but wept on the page, again for sheer exuberant friendships, for self-discovery, political imagination, and pluck. . . . Wonderful! In a dark time, a gift of hope. -Daniel Berrigan, S.J. "The struggles, joys, and political awakening of a firecracker of a narrator. . . . Linton has succeeded in creating a life both rich and enviable. With her crackle, irreverence, and intelligence, it's clear that the author would never be willing to settle. . . . Wholly enjoyable." -Kirkus Reviews "Linton is a passionate guide to a world many outsiders, and even insiders, find difficult to navigate. . . . In this volume, she recounts her personal odyssey, from flower child . . . to disability-rights/human rights activist." -Publishers Weekly "Witty, original, and political without being politically correct, introducing us to a cast of funny, brave, remarkable characters (including the professional dancer with one leg) who have changed the way that 'walkies' understand disability. By the time Linton tells you about the first time she was dancing in her wheelchair, you will feel like dancing, too." ---Carol Tavris, author of Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion "This astonishing book has perfect pitch. It is filled with wit and passion. Linton shows us how she learned to 'absorb disability,' and to pilot a new and interesting body. With verve and wonder, she discovers her body's pleasures, hungers, surprises, hurts, strengths, limits, and uses." -Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, author of Extraordinary Bodies: Figuring Physical Disability in American Culture and Literature "An extraordinarily readable account of life in the fast lane... a brilliant autobiography and a great read." -Sander L. Gilman, author of Fat Boys: A Slim Book While hitchhiking from Boston to Washington, D.C., in 1971 to protest the war in Vietnam, Simi Linton was involved in a car accident that paralyzed her legs and took the lives of her young husband and her best friend. Her memoir begins with her struggle to regain physical and emotional strength and to resume her life in the world. Then Linton takes us on the road she traveled (with stops in Berkeley, Paris, Havana) and back to her home in Manhattan, as she learns what it means to be a disabled person in America. Linton eventually completed a Ph.D., remarried, and began teaching at Hunter College. Along the way she became deeply committed to the disability rights movement and to the people she joined forces with. The stories in My Body Politic are populated with richly drawn portraits of Linton's disabled comrades, people of conviction and lusty exuberance who dance, play-and organize--with passion and commitment. My Body Politic begins in the midst of the turmoil over Vietnam and concludes with a meditation on the U.S. involvement in the current war in Iraq and the war's wounded veterans. While a memoir of the author's gradual political awakening, My Body Politic is filled with adventure, celebration, and rock and roll-Salvador Dali, James Brown, and Jimi Hendrix all make cameo appearances. Linton weaves a tale that shows disability to be an ordinary part of the twists and turns of life and, simultaneously, a unique vantage point on the world.
