Download or read book Doctor You written by Jeremy Howick and published by Quercus. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning Oxford University researcher Dr. Jeremy Howick draws on the latest peer-reviewed medical studies to arm readers with scientific evidence that will empower them to make sensible choices about what drugs to take, what drugs to give their children, and when (and when not) to simply let the body do its thing. "READ THIS BREAKTHROUGH BOOK!" --DEEPAK CHOPRA The miracles of modern medicine--and our overreliance on prescription drugs and surgical procedures--have obscured the evolutionary ability of the body to heal itself, as Dr. Jeremy Howick explains in this groundbreaking book. Wealthy countries have become highly dependent on medical intervention: On average, one-fifth of all Americans, half of the elderly British, and two-thirds of older Canadians take at least five prescription drugs per day, their lives a nonstop ritual of pill popping and managing side effects. One in ten people takes antidepressants, and millions of boys who can't sit still in school are prescribed methamphetamines. Skyrocketing global healthcare costs render this overmedication increasingly unaffordable. In Doctor You, Howick explains that the abundance of modern drugs and technologies has blinded us to the fact that the human body produces its own drugs that can treat pain, is capable of curing itself of many physical ailments as well as a surgeon, and can even combat most mild depression as well as any psychologist. Recent clinical trials clearly show that states of mind affect our health: relaxation, positive thinking, and comfortable social environments all provide measurable health benefits--sometimes as effectively as blockbuster drugs. With a methodical and approachable analysis of modern medicine's overuse of pharmaceutical intervention and the scientific evidence for your body's innate power to heal itself, Doctor You will change the way you think about your health, your body, and your approach to medicine.

Download or read book The Real Doctor Will See You Shortly written by Matt McCarthy and published by Crown. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A scorchingly frank look at how doctors are made, bringing readers into the critical care unit to see one burgeoning physician's journey from ineptitude to competence. In medical school, Matt McCarthy dreamed of being a different kind of doctor—the sort of mythical, unflappable physician who could reach unreachable patients. But when a new admission to the critical care unit almost died his first night on call, he found himself scrambling. Visions of mastery quickly gave way to hopes of simply surviving hospital life, where confidence was hard to come by and no amount of med school training could dispel the terror of facing actual patients. This funny, candid memoir of McCarthy’s intern year at a New York hospital provides a scorchingly frank look at how doctors are made, taking readers into patients’ rooms and doctors’ conferences to witness a physician's journey from ineptitude to competence. McCarthy's one stroke of luck paired him with a brilliant second-year adviser he called “Baio” (owing to his resemblance to the Charles in Charge star), who proved to be a remarkable teacher with a wicked sense of humor. McCarthy would learn even more from the people he cared for, including a man named Benny, who was living in the hospital for months at a time awaiting a heart transplant. But no teacher could help McCarthy when an accident put his own health at risk, and showed him all too painfully the thin line between doctor and patient. The Real Doctor Will See You Shortly offers a window on to hospital life that dispenses with sanctimony and self-seriousness while emphasizing the black-comic paradox of becoming a doctor: How do you learn to save lives in a job where there is no practice?

Book excerpt: John Thornton returns home from the war in Iraq, being wounded, suffering post-traumatic stress disorder from his combat experiences and attending the United States Homeland Security School and returns to his job at the Center City, Oklahoma, Police Department as a detective. When a very strange haunting of a local elderly ladies’ home and three suspicious deaths occur in Shaney, Oklahoma, a suburb of Center City, it becomes apparent the current investigation authority of the Center City Police Department cannot solve these cases. John Thornton serves as a liaison between the US Department of Homeland Security and the Center City Police Department and makes a plea to a retired United States senator, Nathaniel Andrews, for help, which brings him, Robbie Jensen (US DHS medical examiner), Sofia Clark (a CIA agent), and Dr. Lisa Wayne (psychiatrist) together to form a specialized US DHS Special Investigations Division into existence to work these cases under the authority of the United States Department of Homeland Security. Although John does not believe in the paranormal, what he experiences firsthand changes his mind. However, even with this group, with the aid of the Oklahoma Paranormal Research Association, the investigations are still very dangerous for all. The tension is high for everyone as the tasks become much more dangerous, both physically and psychologically. The solving of these cases, however, makes the risks all that more important to the US DHS Special Investigations Division team members to save innocent lives.
