Download or read book I Don t Know What It Is But I Don t Think It s Serious written by Tim Crossley and published by Royal College of General Practitioners. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Don’t Know What It Is but I Don’t Think It’s Serious provides a broad analysis of the issues behind medical confidence and decision making. It looks at how the GP role is seen and the status that backs it, and explores the issues patients and others bring to the consultation. The book also covers: • practical communication skills around the issue of uncertainty, such as teasing out reasons for attendance and reassurance techniques • sharing the burden with patients • dealing with things that have gone wrong • using the same skills we acquire for good consulting to become better organised and more effective • informing our personal development plans. The book does not solve all a GP’s problems. It seeks to understand the ones that undermine us and help us to cope, to enjoy and to look forward to the uncertainty of whatever is going to happen tomorrow. The book supports the need for using communication skills training as the basis for both registrar and ongoing medical education, trying to make these seem solutions rather than problems. All chapters are lightly referenced and have a conclusion, with anecdotal text boxes peppered amongst the text to ease the strain of reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as he encountered murder while off duty in Blood upon the Snow, detective Mark East once again finds his vacation interrupted by a mystery. Perhaps it was a mistake to return to the same small town. On his last visit, the streets of Crestwood lay buried in snow. This time, blazing heat overwhelms the sleepy resort community. In the cool of evening, locals and summer visitors gather for a church supper. Afterward, one guest fails to return to the hotel, but East refuses to take an interest, reasoning that an attractive young woman might have any number of more interesting prospects. But everyone insists that it's not like Mary Cassidy to suddenly disappear, citing her pleasant ladylike behavior and her kindness to a motherless child. As East's host, Sheriff Perley Wilcox, uncovers further details about the missing woman, the detective gradually becomes more and more drawn into the case until his concern is captured by a grotesque discovery in the town's well. The suspense builds as East investigates Mary's background and learns that the retiring gentlewoman wasn't at all what she seemed to be — and that time is running out for the next victim!

Download or read book Conversations with Colum McCann written by Earl G. Ingersoll and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conversations with Colum McCann brings together eighteen interviews with a world-renowned fiction writer. Ranging from his 1994 literary debut, Fishing the Sloe-Black River, to a previously unpublished interview conducted in 2016, these interviews represent the development as well as the continuation of McCann's interests. The number and length of the later conversations attest to his star-power. Let the Great World Spin earned him the National Book Award and promises to become a major motion picture. His most recent novel, TransAtlantic, has awed readers with its dynamic yoking of the 1845-46 visit of Frederick Douglass to Ireland, the 1919 first nonstop transatlantic flight of Alcock and Brown, and Senator George Mitchell's 1998 efforts to achieve a peace accord in Northern Ireland. An extensive interview by scholar Cécile Maudet is included here, as is an interview by John Cusatis, who wrote Understanding Colum McCann, the first extensive critical analysis of McCann's work. An author who actually enjoys talking about his work, McCann (b. 1965) offers insights into his method of writing, what he hopes to achieve, as well as the challenge of writing each novel to go beyond his accomplishments in the novel before. Readers will note how many of his responses include stories in which he himself is the object of the humor and how often his remarks reveal insights into his character as a man who sees the grittiness of the urban landscape but never loses faith in the strength of ordinary people and their capacity to prevail.
Download or read book The Imperfect Proposal written by Annie Dyer and published by Annie Dyer. This book was released on with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being caught in a cupboard in a compromising position with my latest hook up by my new colleague isn’t a great introduction. The worse thing, that new colleague - she’s my estranged wife who’s been MIA for more than a decade. Throw in the fact that neither of our families knew we were married in the first place and it’s safe to say, events maybe aren’t going as smoothly as planned. Thea and I married ten years ago in Vegas, the day we both qualified as doctors. I knew plenty about her: the way she kissed, how she liked her coffee and the best way to make her see stars. What I didn’t know was that she was the daughter of a Lord, was ridiculously wealthy and she’d signed up to Doctors Without Borders. The morning after our wedding, she was gone. For a decade, all I’ve had are postcards, sent to wherever I’ve been working, with no return address. Those, and a heart that no matter how good a doctor I am, I just can’t fix. Now Thea’s back in London. And she wants to be back in my bed. Our first proposal wasn’t perfect. Would the second lead to the same fate?
