Proper Doctoring: A Book for Patients and Their Doctors


Description

"People come to us for help. They come for health and strength." With these simple words David Mendel begins "Proper Doctoring," a book about what it means (and takes) to be a good doctor, and for that reason very much a book for patients as well as doctors--which is to say a book for everyone. In crisp, clear prose, he introduces readers to the craft of medicine and shows how to practice it. Discussing matters ranging from the most basic--how doctors should dress and how they should speak to patients--to the taking of medical histories, the etiquette of examinations, and the difficulties of diagnosis, Mendel moves on to consider how the doctor can best serve patients who suffer from prolonged illness or face death. Throughout he keeps in sight the fundamental moral fact that the relationship between doctor and patient is a human one before it is a professional one. As he writes with characteristic concision, "The trained and experienced doctor puts himself, or his nearest and dearest, in the patient's position, and asks himself what he would do if he were advising himself or his family. No other advice is acceptable; no other is justifiable." "Proper Doctoring" is a book that is admirably direct, as well as wise, witty, deeply humane, and, frankly, indispensable.

It has been three months since Captain Lee Harden found the survivors at Camp Ryder. With winter looming, Lee is on the verge of establishing Camp Ryder as a hub of safety and stability in the region. But not everyone agrees with Lee's mission...or his methods. Growing tensions between camp leadership are coming to a head, and as Lee struggles amid the dissention and controversy, new revelations about the infected threaten to destroy everything he has worked for. Alister Clark, Australia's most prodigious rosarian, bred roses to establish new, improved, hardier varieties that would flourish in the Australian climate, and grow better in Australian soils. He aimed to produce roses that would extend their flowering beyond a season: ideally to bear blossoms all year round. This book is a celebration of the 65 women to whom Alister Clark chose to dedicate Glenara Seedling roses. There is a story Homework for Grown-ups: Everything You Learnt at School... and Promptly Forgot pdf behind each rose. The authors are noted for their detective work in finding 'lost' Alister Clark roses. With the thread of Clark's forty-year rose-breeding program linking the women together, the book presents biographical sketches of each woman rose namesake, and provides contemporary rose-grower's notes on each woman's rose.
