Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Rugby the teddy bear gets chewed up by his family's new puppy, he needs help from a big team of healthcare heroes. Find out what each hero does at Fuzzer's Hospital to help Rugby get home safe and healthy! Mission Statement Our goal when creating Hospital Heroes: Rugby's Medical Adventure was to teach about lesser-known medical professions in a fun way. Some of the included professions are Occupational Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology, Dietetics, Respiratory Therapy, and Mental Health Counselor. The book promotes LGBTQ+ positivity and representation of diversity in healthcare. As Four-Star General Charles Q. Brown Jr. said in his interview with NPR, "You only aspire to what you've been exposed to. Sometimes we might self-eliminate just because we don't think we're qualified." It is extremely important for all children to see people who look like them represented as professionals with rewarding careers across all sectors. We desperately need more diversity in medicine. To accomplish more diversity in medical teams, we need to start with creating a safe, supportive workplace and professional culture. We hope that one day the children who read Hospital Heroes: Rugby's Medical Adventure will step into their clinical rotations 18+ years from now and feel confident that they are safe, equipped to help patients, and feel like they are exactly where they belong.

Download or read book Island Practice written by Pam Belluck and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2013-06-25 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a Foreword by Nathaniel Philbrick, author of the bestseller In the Heart of the Sea If you need an appendectomy, he can do it with a stone scalpel he carved himself. If you have a condition nobody can diagnose -- "creeping eruption" perhaps -- he can identify what it is, and treat it. A baby with toe-tourniquet syndrome, a human leg that's washed ashore, a horse with Lyme disease, a narcoleptic falling face-first in the street, a hermit living underground -- hardly anything is off-limits for Dr. Timothy J. Lepore. This is the spirited, true story of a colorful, contrarian doctor on the world-famous island of Nantucket. Thirty miles out to sea, in a strikingly offbeat place known for wealthy summer people but also home to independent-minded, idiosyncratic year-rounders, Lepore holds the life of the island, often quite literally, in his hands. He's surgeon, medical examiner, football team doctor, tick expert, unofficial psychologist, accidental homicide detective, occasional veterinarian. When crisis strikes, he's deeply involved. He's treated Jimmy Buffett, Chris Matthews, and various Kennedy relatives, but he makes house calls for anyone and lets people pay him nothing -- or anything: oatmeal raisin cookies, a weather-beaten .44 Magnum, a picture of a Nepalese shaman. Lepore can be controversial and contradictory, espousing conservative views while performing abortions and giving patients marijuana cookies. He has unusual hobbies: he's a gun fanatic, roadkill collector, and concocter of pastimes like knitting dog-hair sweaters. Ultimately, Island Practice is about a doctor utterly essential to a community at a time when medicine is increasingly money-driven and impersonal. Can he remain a maverick even as a healthcare chain subsumes his hospital? Every community has -- or, some would say, needs -- a Doctor Lepore, and his island's drive to retain individuality in a cookie-cutter world is echoed across the country.
Download or read book So There I Was written by Rob Gordon and published by Author House. This book was released on 2010-03-11 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of my all-time favorite stories from working with patients as a medical professional over the past seventeen years. I have witnessed and been a part of some amazing experiences ranging from hilarious to shocking to just plain disgusting. I've told these stories many times at family gatherings, parties, and in conversations with friends. After much encouragement, I took the time to write them down before they became distant memories. Each chapter of this book is dedicated to a specific incident, which should give the reader an inside look into the often entertaining world of a health care provider. The names, of course, have been changed to protect the innocent, but I didn't leave out or alter any of the colorful details.
