Book DescriptionLearn how faith and psychological insight can combine to help Christians overcome physical disabilities! After being diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, Dr. Elaine Leong Eng, author of "Martha, Martha": How Christians Worry, knew she had to make important life changes. This genetic disease would soon cause her eyesight to fail. Her impending blindness meant that she would no longer be able to practice as an obstetrician/gynecologist. Her family life would never be the same, nor would her self-image. A Christian Approach to Overcoming Disability: A Doctor's Story is the poignant and inspiring story of Dr. Eng?s ultimately triumphant struggle with an untreatable illness and a life-changing disability. Once I heard the diagnosis, I knew it was God?s way of granting my prayer to be a full-time mom to my babies. God had prepared my heart to accept this news. This so-called "tragedy" in my life was very much for the good. I had the chance to "see" and...
Book DescriptionThe reality of the words "You have cancer" has the ability to affect every person on the planet. Six million people a year will die after hearing those words and another ten million people every year will hear those words for the first time. No one is immune from this dreaded disease that strikes without discrimination. What you will not hear from the Cancer Establishment is that for over twenty years there has been a small group of renegade scientists and medical physicians controlling cancer without the toxic side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, producing results and remissions that have shocked and surprised the medical world. David James?s new revelatory book A Last Stand, An American Tragedy, crumbles the thirty year wall of mis-information and controversy about a revolutionary cancer treatment developed by Lawrence Burton Ph.D., a maverick, self exiled research scientist from St. Vincent?s Hospital in Manhattan. The author exposes...
Book DescriptionErnest Starling (1866-1927) was pre-eminent in the golden age of British Physiology. His name is usually associated with his Law of the Heart, but his discovery of secretin (the first hormone whose mode of action was explained) and his work on capillaries were more important contributions. He coined the word 'hormone' one hundred years ago. His analysis of capillary function demonstrated that equal and opposite forces move across the capillary wall--an outward (hydrostatic)force and an inward (osmotic) force derived from plasma proteins. Starling was much more than a gifted scientist. He held passionate views on many subjects - education, London University, Germany and the British Government, etc. - and was not slow to vice them. Time has shown most of his views to be right, but their publication may have hampered his worldly success. Working on defense against poison gas during WWI, he crossed swords with the war office. After resigning his commission as...
Book DescriptionKundan Khera?s journey begins on the dusty streets of an impoverished Indian village and leads to recognition as one of the world?s outstanding scientists. His memoirs are painted with tales of grief, tragedy, and brutal hardships on the one hand, and with humanity, friendship, humor, and self-fulfillment on the other. Married at 15, Khera struggles to secure his own and his family?s future, enduring hunger and appalling living and working conditions. Labeled ?insubordinate? by his superior, Khera sadly sees little opportunity for advancement in India. Winning a postdoctoral fellowship at Baylor University in Houston marks the turning point in his career and his life. His move to Canada results in his pioneering research on maternal toxicity and on the toxic effects of drugs and chemicals on human health. His research into MSG, caffeine, Agent Orange, and other chemicals and pesticides set the standard for testing and has been recognized...
Book Description“It comes as a great shock when the active and very articulate man you have shared your life with for sixty odd years has a stroke and loses all his speech.” Mick Sutton knew his wife, but could not speak her name. He could not write his own, could hardly make sense of the hospital menu, let alone read his paper or a book. His frustration was palpable. Then he met Fiona, his Speech Therapist, whose guidance worked wonders. Gradually she built up Mick’s speech and his ability to write grammatically. “I think if I had to describe Mick’s approach to rehabilitation it was that he saw it as a new job,” Fiona explains. “He was very disciplined and motivated, and I have no doubt that his letters and postcards sent to me during a world cruise, reproduced in this volume with very few language or stylistic corrections, will indicate his progress.” The letters and postcards written by Mick while on a world cruise is a saga of...
Book DescriptionThis inspirational autobiography details various influential factors leading up to and fascinating experiences following a traumatic brain injury. From being a comatose 18-year-old college freshman to ultimately attaining his Masters Degree and working professionally as a mental health therapist, the author highlights many of the medical, intellectual, physical, emotional, and societal traumas he withstood which are associated with severe head injury.
Book DescriptionLife is crazy. Your first memories are poverty, alcoholism, race problems, desegregation, war, Watergate and you?re sick, too. Not just sick either, but the kind of ?doctors don?t have a clue? sick. But you soon learn life goes on, with or without you. In this coming of age memoir, Michael A. Page unfolds his story through the written word in a variety of forms and styles. In diary and journal entries, poems, short stories, essays and the occasional words of others he allows the reader to experience ?the ride? and offers the message of hope and the possibility of redemption as he documents his struggles of life with his constant companion: anklyosing spondylitis.
Book Description Is medical education's mission to increase the earning capacity of the profession or is it to improve the public welfare and to advance medical knowledge? To answer this question, the author has let the "great ones" of medicine's past address the reader directly. Flexner divided MDs into two groups: those in academic medicine and those in private practice and concluded that the two groups are inherently at war with one another. And, Flexner observed: without the faculty controllingpatient beds, "the school cannot even organize a clinical faculty in any proper sense of the term." The author humorously discusses problems encountered in pursuing these lofty goals. Stories of growing up in South Alabama--getting a medial education--hospital work--a tour of duty at NIH--and thirty years in the Texas Medical Center spice these fascinating life-experiences.
Book Description As Sweet As It Gets: A Diabetic's Story begins with the onset of diabetes at age eighteen and chronicles the ever-present effects of the condition on ordinary life experiences. Realistic and thought-provoking, this first-person account expresses the emotional and mental effects of the disease, which has impacted every aspect of the author's existence for over 30 years. Robert W. Thompson, Jr. shares his interpersonal relationships such as marriage and fatherhood, and the prematuredeath of four individuals: a brother killed in a car accident at age 22, cousin Greg who suffered from schizophrenia and died at 34, a close friend who succumbed to emphysema, and a former roommate who died during a liver transplant operation. Given their own set of obstacles, choices and life experiences, any reader can relate to Thompson's story of survival.
Book DescriptionSerious illness can be devastating. Imagine what it takes to overcome it - to overcome the devastation to the body, to be robbed of one?s identity, confidence or independence, to face death, to persevere through the horrors requiredto hold it at bay and, finally, to rebuild a life that will never be the same. Now imagine having to do it over and over and over again. That is exactly what Dr. Marie Kirchner Stone had to do, and she shares her experiences in her striking new memoir, "Battling Death: A Different Life." Diagnosed at age twenty with Hodgkin?s Disease, Dr. Stone did not know as she entered treatment that her health would never return to her. Throughout the following forty years, she faced the Hodgkin?s Disease, breast cancer, thyroid cancer, cervical cancer, endometriosis, open-heart surgery, a debilitating stroke and skin cancer; some were the result of her radiation treatments for the Hodgkin?s, others were not. Yet her tale is...
