Download or read book Heart A History written by Sandeep Jauhar and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling author of Intern and Doctored tells the story of the thing that makes us tick For centuries, the human heart seemed beyond our understanding: an inscrutable shuddering mass that was somehow the driver of emotion and the seat of the soul. As the cardiologist and bestselling author Sandeep Jauhar shows in Heart: A History, it was only recently that we demolished age-old taboos and devised the transformative procedures that have changed the way we live. Deftly alternating between key historical episodes and his own work, Jauhar tells the colorful and little-known story of the doctors who risked their careers and the patients who risked their lives to know and heal our most vital organ. He introduces us to Daniel Hale Williams, the African American doctor who performed the world’s first open heart surgery in Gilded Age Chicago. We meet C. Walton Lillehei, who connected a patient’s circulatory system to a healthy donor’s, paving the way for the heart-lung machine. And we encounter Wilson Greatbatch, who saved millions by inventing the pacemaker—by accident. Jauhar deftly braids these tales of discovery, hubris, and sorrow with moving accounts of his family’s history of heart ailments and the patients he’s treated over many years. He also confronts the limits of medical technology, arguing that future progress will depend more on how we choose to live than on the devices we invent. Affecting, engaging, and beautifully written, Heart: A History takes the full measure of the only organ that can move itself.

Download or read book A Strong and Steady Pulse written by Gregory D Chapman and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A seasoned cardiologist shares his experiences, opinions, and recommendations about heart disease and other cardiac problems A Strong and Steady Pulse: Stories from a Cardiologist provides an insider’s perspective on the field of cardiovascular medicine told through vignettes and insights drawn from Gregory D. Chapman’s three decades as a cardiologist and professor of medicine. In twenty-six bite-sized chapters based on real-life patients and experiences, Chapman provides an overview of contemporary cardiovascular diseases and treatments, illuminating the art and science of medical practice for lay audiences and professionals alike. With A Strong and Steady Pulse, Chapman provides medical students and general readers with a better understanding of cardiac disease and its contributing factors in modern life, and he also provides insights on the diagnostic process, medical decision making, and patient care. Each chapter presents a patient and their initial appearance, described in clear detail as Chapman gently walks us through his evaluation and the steps he and his associates take to determine the underlying problem. Chapman’s stories are about real people dealing with life and death situations—including the physicians, nurses, medical students, and other team members who try to save lives in emergent, confusing conditions. The sometimes hard-won solutions to these medical challenges combine new technology and cutting-edge research together with insights drawn from Chapman’s past experiences as an intern and resident in Manhattan during the AIDS epidemic, as a postdoctoral fellow at Duke University in the 1990s, and in practice in Nashville, Tennessee, and Birmingham, Alabama. Conditions addressed include the recognition and management of heart attack, heart failure, arrhythmia, valvular heart disease, cardiac transplantation, broken heart syndrome, hypertension, and the depression some people experience after a heart attack, as well as related topics like statin drugs, the Apple Watch ECG feature, and oral anticoagulants. Finally, the emergence of the COVID-19 virus and its disruption of normal hospital routines as the pandemic unfolded is addressed in an epilogue.

Download or read book You re Doing Great And Other Lies Alcohol Told Me written by Dustin Dunbar and published by LifeTree Media. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything you know about alcohol is a lie. Dustin Dunbar had it all. A beautiful wife, two sweet baby girls, a degree in psychology, and properties around the world—the building blocks of a nascent real estate empire. All the while, he happily believed every lie alcohol told him: “Real men drink.” “One drink won’t kill you.” “You’re the life of the party.” “You can’t stop.” He believed these lies and many others until it was too late. Because of his addiction, he risked everything he valued most and nearly lost everyone he cared for—until he started to figure out that most of what we experience with alcohol is completely fabricated, a big lie packaged with bright lights and big names to distract us from the truth. Dunbar calls this non-reality “the alcohol matrix,” and it took him years to break out of it and finally start enjoying a life free of alcohol addiction. Just as Holly Whitaker offered women a radical path to sobriety in her New York Times bestselling Quit Like a Woman, Dunbar combines his own experiences with his extensive background in psychology to expose the lies we all too willingly accept about alcohol and interrogates the part culture plays in reinforcing these lies, particularly for men—and shows readers how they too can break free from alcohol addiction. An inspiring, hilarious, and much-needed approach to addiction and self-acceptance, You’re Doing Great!: Debunks the myth that alcohol washes away the pain.Explains the toll alcohol takes on our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.Illustrates the steps to deal with our problems head-on.Exposes the practices used by advertisers and marketers to entrap us to drink.Proves that AA isn’t the only option for battling alcohol addiction.Teaches readers to activate skills of self-empowerment.Shows us how to enjoy an alcohol-free consciousness and an exciting new chapter in our lives. Filled with entertaining true-life tales, hard-earned wisdom, and easy-to-follow advice for recognizing the truth about alcohol, You’re Doing Great! is a powerful invitation to discover the real you that thrives on the other side of addiction.
