Download or read book Nurse Jack written by Jack S Houston and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-06 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through these true stories, I wanted to tell a reality that is not often told, or realized by the general public. Nursing is a very demanding job, no matter what field you work in. Most nurses are hard-working, conscientious, and display empathy when most people would not be able to. Sadly, some nurses are not up to the task, I must admit, which often results in negligence. Often people - our patients - suffer because of this. This book tells several true stories about nurses and doctors alike who have sex with their patients, and each other. Also, it talks about rape, and how hospital staff have covered it up. I have written about drug and alcohol abuse on the job. Even cases where nurses deprived their own patients of narcotics, or pain killers, only to ingest them themselves, and give their patients a placebo. Some stories outline how nursing staff are so very often injured and knowingly placed in danger. Often both the doctor and management could have easily intervened to help avoid these incidents. Sadly, I talk about the many child molesters and rapists who are let out to roam the streets, against the nursing staff's wishes. These same patients reoffend regularly. The general public should know what really goes on as there are many horrible things that happen due to negligence or greed. It is important to make note of these realities. The majority of staff I have worked with have impressed me on countless occasions with their empathy, dedication, and self-sacrifice to help their patients. Like most things in life, it only takes a few bad apples to spoil everything. "If you're a fan of ER or Grey's Anatomy, you'll want to read this book."

Download or read book Jacks written by Trevor Rudolph Higgenbotham and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicine and medical research continue to grow rapidly in complexity alongside the changes in healthcare policy, discoveries, and the regulation and economics of the same. In the midst of these sea changes, patients and their families navigate (or negotiate) the reshaped landscape called the academic medical center or the teaching hospital. These changes create confusion and anxiety for patients and families in crises as the prospects of illness, death, and loss compete against and strain their coping abilities. A man they call Jacks helps patients and families navigate the maze. Jacks serves as a chaplain, and these are some of the stories he lives with the people God places in his care. As one who journeys alongside patients and their loved ones, Jacks embraces and struggles with the questions felt by so many but openly discussed by so few. He authentically strains to understand the circumstances in which people find themselves, without judgment, while controlling his own emotions to the things he witnesses. Jacks does not pretend to have the answers. Jacks understands one thing: compassion can bridge the divides created by crisis.

Download or read book Welcome Back Jack written by Liam Sweeny and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jack was six years old, his parents were brutally slain by a serial killer. The police later found drifter Clyde Colsen driving a stolen car, his clothes soaked in blood. He was tried, convicted and executed. Jack grew up knowing the police got their man. Now a decorated homicide detective in New Rhodes, Jack arrives at the third crime scene of the "South End Killer" murders and finds his name. He will soon find out something else: thirty years ago, they got the wrong guy. And now the right guy's come back to pay Jack and New Rhodes his bloody respects. As Jack struggles to stay on the case, his cat-and-mouse game with the killer makes him wonder if he's the cat or the mouse. His family and everyone in his life is fair game. As the killer escalates and threatens the entire city, Jack has a question he must answer in his desperation: can he stop the monster without becoming one? Praise for WELCOME BACK, JACK ... "I've been following Liam Sweeny's writing career for several years. He started out pretty good and now -- with WELCOME BACK, JACK -- he's become smokin' good! I predict this novel will propel him to the highest ranks of novelists writing police procedurals. That may look like I'm climbing out on a limb and if so, it's an extremely stout and solid limb. This ranks with the best of the genre and Sweeny is poised to become a writer of the highest rank. Remember his name -- you're going to be seeing it a lot." -- Les Edgerton, The Genuine, Imitation, Plastic Kidnapping, The Rapist, The Bitch and others "A new dark, very dark star has appeared in the noir spectrum and what a star it is. WELCOME BACK, JACK is the real deal, as down and deliciously dirty as it gets but with a wonderful fresh style and artistry that is as compelling as it is addictive. This is one hell of a start to what promises to be a unique series." -- Ken Bruen, author of the Jack Taylor series "When a triple homicide in New Rhodes bears worrisome similarities to one from police officer, Jack LeClere's, childhood, nothing can stop him from following the sinewy clues to their horrific conclusion. As long as writers like Liam Sweeny can work the police procedural to such great affect, readers will follow Jack back to the gritty streets of New Rhodes gladly. Sweeny's writes beautifully and WELCOME BACK, JACK is full of memorable characters. Claustrophobics beware!" -- Patricia Abbot, author of Concrete Angel "Equal parts police procedural and psycho-thriller, Liam Sweeny reinvents a genre with WELCOME BACK, JACK. When serial killing gets personal, Jack LeClere is dragged underground into the past. Literally. With crisp, taut dialogue, fast-paced action, and more plot twists than the subterranean tunnels Jack must navigate to earn redemption, Sweeny taps into modern-day, urban paranoia, mining the best of Ellroy, Cain, and Westlake. Sweeny pays homage while tearing up some serious new ground." -- Joe Clifford, author of Lamentation and December Boys "Do yourself a favor: Before you start reading WELCOME BACK, JACK, clear your schedule. You're not going to be able to stop until you've seen it through to the explosive finale." -- Rob Hart, author of New Yorked
Download or read book Inside the Black Room written by Jack A. Vernon and published by . This book was released on 2023-06-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1950s, a new word 'brainwashing' entered the English language. Although its meaning was ambiguous and continued to evolve, it captured both concerns about the uses of psychology in warfare and the imagination of the general public through popular cinema (popular example would be The Manchurian Candidate in 1962) through the years as to how possible it really was to "brainwash" an individual. For many experts, the Cold War brainwashing scare offered an opportunity to engage the public with contemporary psychological theory and research. Originally published in 1963, Inside the Black Room covers a series of experiments specifically dealing with sensory deprivation and its effect on the human subjects involved in the studies. The goal of these studies was to provide practical information on the effects of long-term sensory deprivation on the human condition. At that time at the beginning of the 'space race' it was unknown what impact space travel and long period of solitary confinement would have on the human psyche. A fascinating study that shows through unique experiments how malleable the human psyche is and effect methods like sensory deprivation can have on manipulating that psyche.
