Download or read book Complications written by Atul Gawande and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant and courageous doctor reveals, in gripping accounts of true cases, the power and limits of modern medicine. Sometimes in medicine the only way to know what is truly going on in a patient is to operate, to look inside with one's own eyes. This book is exploratory surgery on medicine itself, laying bare a science not in its idealized form but as it actually is -- complicated, perplexing, and profoundly human. Atul Gawande offers an unflinching view from the scalpel's edge, where science is ambiguous, information is limited, the stakes are high, yet decisions must be made. In dramatic and revealing stories of patients and doctors, he explores how deadly mistakes occur and why good surgeons go bad. He also shows us what happens when medicine comes up against the inexplicable: an architect with incapacitating back pain for which there is no physical cause; a young woman with nausea that won't go away; a television newscaster whose blushing is so severe that she cannot do her job. Gawande offers a richly detailed portrait of the people and the science, even as he tackles the paradoxes and imperfections inherent in caring for human lives. At once tough-minded and humane, Complications is a new kind of medical writing, nuanced and lucid, unafraid to confront the conflicts and uncertainties that lie at the heart of modern medicine, yet always alive to the possibilities of wisdom in this extraordinary endeavor. Complications is a 2002 National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction.
Download or read book The Diversity Promise written by Michael W. Mulholland and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The surgical treatment of human disease is inherently complex. Patients present with symptoms or disabilities that may relate to a variety of underlying causes. In evaluating those symptoms, modern medicine provides multiple diagnostic modalities that may be applied but in proper sequence and economically. Once a diagnosis is secured, treatment recommendations may include both surgical and nonsurgical therapies. In turn, when operative treatment is recommended, a variety of approaches--open, laparoscopic, robotic--are available, each with its particular efficacy, risk, and cost. In addition, surgical patients are inherently variable. Each patient has a unique set of comorbidities and an individual biological milieu. Each requires personalized treatment. These are the complexities that surgeons confront every day, and for which creativity and diversity of thought are essential. Exciting new research demonstrates that problems characterized by complexity and high variability are best solved by teams intentionally constructed to maximize diversity. The premise of The Diversity Promise: Success in Academic Surgery and Medicine Through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is that demonstrable advantages come from the intentional mixture of talented people in a stimulating environment. Maximizing performance depends upon teamwork but teams constructed and enabled in a specific way. To be truly impactful, team members must be both talented and diverse. People have differing life experiences based upon age, race, gender, religious belief, and myriad other factors. These experiences, in turn, produce differing perspectives that create a strong competitive advantage for diverse teams."-- From preface.

The role of research is addressed in minichapters, ranging from being sure a given treatment is valid to understanding the molecular and genetic basis of disease. Lastly, the singular importance of improving the future of medicine by an understanding of what mentorship truly is, represents the core of the author's existence. Those reading this book will depart with a sense of what contemporary life of a busy academic surgeon is all about.

Download or read book Evidence Based Surgery written by Achilles Thoma and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-20 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book specifically is to teach surgeons (academic or community), surgical fellows and surgical residents regardless of the surgical specialty, the skills to appraise what they read in the surgical literature. Surgeons need to be able to understand what they read before applying the conclusions of a surgical article to their practice. As most surgeons do not have the extra training in health research methodology, understanding how the research was done, how to interpret the results and finally deciding to apply them to the patient level is indeed a difficult task. Chapters explain the methodological issues pertaining to the various study designs reported in the surgical literature. Most chapters begin with a clinical scenario with uncertain course of action with which most surgeons are struggling. Readers are taught how to search the literature for the best evidence that will answer the surgical problem under discussion. An identified article that seems relevant to the problem you are investigating can be appraised by addressing 3 key questions: 1). Is the study I am reading valid? 2). What are the results of this study? 3). Can I apply these results to my patients? While the primary goal of Evidence-Based Surgery is to teach surgeons how to appraise the surgical literature, an added benefit is that the concepts explained here may help research-minded surgeons produce higher quality research.
Download or read book My Life As a Surgeon written by Miguel Cuesta and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Index of Sciences Ltd asked me to write my professional biography, I first thought the idea was a little arrogant and exaggerated. Reflection on that made me realize that it did not need to be about me as much as about the fascinating life I had as a surgeon and the exhilaration of practicing with others with who I was privileged to be involved. I thought, 'Maybe I can shed some light on the standards of excellence involved in being a surgeon.' Currently, I am an Emeritus Professor in Gastrointestinal Surgery, and as an academic surgeon working at the VUmc in Amsterdam, I have been involved my whole working life doing three things: treating surgical patients, implementing treatments for digestive diseases in minimally invasive surgery, and looking for evidence that Minimally Invasive Gastrointestinal Surgery is superior or at least not inferior to the conventional open approaches. Now, these tasks belong to the position of being a surgeon, so what could be relevant for others beyond just telling what simply being a surgeon is? So my first question was: 'What can I share with those people who are not involved in medicine or surgery so that they could consider my biography to be interesting and relevant? My first feeling about this was negative because writing implies being able to convey knowledge in a fine and instructive way. Luckily, the redaction assistant Mr. Art Culton explained to me that writing a surgeon's biography would be very interesting for many people, not only for other surgeons and I could be assured that I would be aided with the writing. That helped me to decide to do the biography and I became convinced that focussing on some challenging aspects of my professional life would sufficiently interest a broad public and add to the luster of the profession of the surgeon. So, I have tried to portray aspects of my professional life as a surgeon in 20 chapters; starting from the beginning of my career to after my retirement in 2014. I explain in a sequential way how the life of a surgeon developed in a specific direction to finalize, as in my case, as an academic surgeon.
