Download or read book Papa Rats written by Donnie McIlhone and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-03-21 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the tragic death of her ‘beloved’ in an automobile crash in Paris, in which she also nearly died, an unnamed member of the British royalty, referred to only as “Mum,” gives birth to a beautiful baby girl. To keep mother and daughter safe and out of the public eye, her wealthy in-laws take her to Switzerland and then to Egypt, their homeland, to convalesce. Upon their arrival in Alexandria, however, the little girl, her grandmother, and their chauffeur are kidnapped by a group that calls themselves the “Papa Rats.” Rather than a ransom, they demand the opportunity to take photos with mother and daughter, which they plan to sell for a fortune. As it turns out, however, not only have the Papa Rats underestimated their victims, they have also overestimated their own abilities as kidnappers. Their plot quickly unravels in ways that neither they nor the target family expect, leading to an often humorous comedy of errors that spans much of North Africa, the Middle East, and Canada’s Maritimes region.

Download or read book Life on Planet France written by Lisa Anne Unger and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take an Australian family, relocate them to the French Rhone Alps for work with the UN, add a language barrier and a few huge cultural differences and you have a recipe for disaster! Like a French menu “Life on Planet France” comes with a side serving of French school teachers who roll their eyes at you and swear at their students. There is an eccentric landlord who wears a lab coat and safety goggles when mowing the lawn and French Firemen who in a state of drunkenness battle a giant wasp nest. The entree involves French language lessons that are enjoyed as much as Escargots on a child’s dinner plate. The main is a tantalising exchange of rather nasty instances with French Authorities who would rather forgo their steak tartare if eating it means helping a foreigner get a visa. And finally there is dessert; it’s a seductive and aromatic Frenchman who smells and tastes better then a crème brulee or chocolate soufflé. Life on Planet France is a true story of a family living in the French countryside. It is riddled with obstacles that seem infinite and from the beginning it appears that forces beyond their control are determined to destroy the family’s dream of permanently living abroad. Especially when one of them ends up in a Swiss hospital fighting for their life after a serious accident. This travel narrative is enriched with clever antidotes, insightful information and some really entertaining and touching moments.

Download or read book My Heart Is a Drunken Compass written by Domingo Martinez and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-11-18 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his trademark tragic-comical voice and arresting storytelling, Domingo Martinez once again delivers a deeply personal memoir full of wry asides and poignant, thoughtful reflections in his new book My Heart Is a Drunken Compass. His first book shockingly ended with his fiancé Stephanie plummeting off the side of an overpass in Seattle, after having a seizure while driving. He now chronicles this painful episode in his life, with flashbacks to their tenuous romantic relationship, and how her accident and subsequent coma ultimately causes him to unravel emotionally. This pivotal moment, which began with an alarming call in the middle of the night, parallels another gut-wrenching experience from the past when his youngest brother’s life hangs in the balance. Martinez once again brilliantly examines the complicated connections between family, friends, and loved ones. Feeling estranged from his family in Texas over the years, isolated and alone in Seattle, he turns to writing as a therapeutic tool. The underlying themes of addiction and recovery and their powerful impact on family dynamics also emerge within the narrative, as he struggles with his inner demons. These two traumatic life events actually bring Martinez closer to the family that he has in many ways spend years trying to deny, strengthening their bonds and healing old wounds. When Martinez falls apart completely, he finds his family, his redemption, and a new beginning with the love of his life, who encourages him to write his way out of the pain in order to save his own life.

Download or read book A Nurse s Life in War and Peace written by Eleanor Constance Laurence and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1912 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE The charm of these letters, it will at once be found, depends upon their simplicity, their artlessness, their obvious candour. They present a plain, untinted account of a nurse's career, of the difficulties she has to face, and the problems she has to solve. Those who wish to know something of a nurse's life and times will find in this writing a convincing narrative, unemotional and matter-of-fact. This is no small merit, since the record of nursing experiences is apt to be blurred by exaggeration or made nauseous by sickly romance. There is pathos enough in the sick-room and in the presence of death, but those who come in touch with it would do better to hush the knowledge in their hearts, rather than to proclaim it on the house-tops. Apart from this, the world must be a little weary of the astute sick child who lisps melodrama into the ear of the "kind nurse," as well as of the bizarre aphorisms of the dying tramp.

Download or read book Depression a Nurse s Experience written by Veronica Burton and published by Radcliffe Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veronica Burton's first experience of depression came as a teenager. Following a ten year remission, during which she gained her general nursing qualification and completed her Special and Intensive Nursing of the Newborn course, work-related events precipitated a depressive relapse that has lasted to the present day. Since her retirement on medical grounds, she has campaigned against prejudice by nurses toward other nurses - including mental health nurses - who need psychological support of any kind. This book recounts the author's experiences of major depression, hospital admissions and treatments including medication, ECT and 'talking treatments'. It discusses the care given by medical and nursing staff and social and medical prejudices against those with psychiatric illnesses from a medical practitioner's perspective. Like stumbling on a secret room in a familiar building. In illuminating these previously inaccessible corners of her illness experience, she forces me to challenge my own taken-for-granted version of her history. Familiar territory seen from another perspective suddenly seems perturbing. As psychiatrists, too often we are drawn into seeing people through a lens of illness, as if this was their only identity.A Veronica Burton's Psychiatrist Nick Rose in his Postscript

Download or read book Pediatric Sedation Outside of the Operating Room written by Keira P. Mason and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-11 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a major revision, updating, and expansion of the leading single-source volume on pediatric sedation outside of the operating room. Edited and written by an international roster of outstanding experts, it is the only book aimed at the broad range of specialists who deliver pediatric sedation in the non-OR setting. The Second Edition features a significant expansion of contributions from international leaders and individual new chapters on pre-sedation assessment; sedatives’ short- and long-term effects on neurocognition; non-pharmacologic distractions; Michael Jackson’s death and medical ethics; the role of simulation in safety and training; and palliative sedation in terminally ill children. The specialty-specific chapters continue to be geared toward all sedation providers, regardless of where they practice and patient safety is again emphasized. Fundamental chapters provide in-depth reviews of topics which include, among others, physiology and pharmacology. The book presents the latest guidelines across the specialties, both in the United States and abroad and noteworthy, ongoing research endeavors. From reviews of the First Edition: “This meritorious volume is a splendid collection of materials from highly experienced authors...I will make extensive use of this reference as the academic medical center in which I work continues to build sedation practices and assess credentialing/privileging aspects for professionals of all fields.” —Joseph R. Tobin, MD in Journal of the American Medical Association. “Brings together sedation practice from a broad range of specialties into one well-written pediatric text...I will certainly be using this book as a reference text in the future.” — Pediatric Anesthesia. “The first [text] directed at all specialists that treat children who require some sedation...also recognizes the contributions to pediatric sedation of many international societies and governmental organizations...It should be on the shelves of all office-based practices.” —Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology. "With the ever-increasing opportunities to perform various investigations and therapeutic procedures, combined with increasing demands and expectations from children and their parents, the need and demand for safe and effective sedation of paediatric patients outside the operating room is increasing. Against this background, the second edition of ‘Pediatric Sedation Outside the Operating Room’ is a very timely addition to the anaesthesia literature."—British Journal of Anesthesia

Book excerpt: In the gritty world of River City, a new surge of crime threatens to drown the city in darkness. But this time, the corruption runs deeper, infesting the very heart of the justice system itself. Among those standing as the last line of defense are detectives Jordon Smith and Steve Weston, two of the city’s most tenacious and relentless investigators. As they delve into a treacherous labyrinth of crime, they are joined by a new partner, Detective Cindy Bishop, known simply as D. With a natural instinct for uncovering criminals and an unyielding courage that constantly puts her own life on the line, D proves to be a formidable if not fragile addition to the team. However, this crusade for justice is far from a simple battle against villains. The lines between their professional and personal lives blur, entangling the detectives in a web of emotions. As they confront the usual drug lords, kidnappers, and ruthless murderers, they must also grapple with their own feelings for each other and the haunting questions within themselves. In this pulse-pounding novel, trust is betrayed, alliances are tested, and hearts are laid bare. Will the determination of these seasoned investigators be enough to cleanse the city of its festering crime, or will the darkness seep into their souls, consuming them from within? River City’s fate hangs in the balance, and only the most resilient and resolute will emerge unscathed.

Download or read book From Silence to Voice written by Bernice Buresh and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-03 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To get the resources and respect they need, nurses have long had to be advocates for themselves and their profession, not just for their patients. For a decade, From Silence to Voice has provided nurses with the tools they need to explain the breath and complexity of nursing work. Bernice Buresh and Suzanne Gordon have helped nurses around the world speak up and convey to the public that nursing is more than dedication and caring-it demands specialized knowledge, expertise across a range of medical technologies, and decision-making about life-and-death issues. "Nurses and nursing organizations," they write, "must go out and tell the public what nurses really do so that patients can actually get the benefit of their expert care." The comprehensively revised and updated third edition of From Silence to Voice will help nurses construct messages using a range of traditional and new social media that accurately describe the true nature of their work. Because nurses are busy, the communication techniques in this book are designed to integrate naturally into nurses' everyday lives and to complement nurses' work with patients and families.
