So you chose to become a nurse. Why? Most people answer that question with a cliché "I want to help people." Maybe that's the same answer you just gave. That's not the wrong answer, yet it's also not the whole picture. Though good intentions are commendable, grand hopes of changing the world are far removed from the daily reality of nursing. And what it means to change the world is a lot less glamorous than you might like to think. Kim R. Edwards has spent forty years of her life as a nurse. She was a nurse's aide for four years, a student nurse for two years, and on staff at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare for 34 years. Her long-term experience as a nurse has inspired her to share her personal ups and downs in hopes that they will encourage, validate, and teach you throughout your own journey as a nurse. This book of heartfelt stories from the countless hours Kim has spent at her patients' bedside will teach you: How to cope with the challenges you will face when working with seasoned nurses How to be a valuable team player That you are human--and that's okay How to learn from your mistakes and cope with heartbreak If you're nervous, excited, and a little terrified to begin your nursing career, read Behind My Stethoscope to laugh, cry, and learn invaluable lessons straight from the heart of a nurse with over four decades of experience walking that path ahead of you.

Book Description
Over the years, what does a Family Doctor hear? He may hear the fresh and strong heartbeats of a newborn baby just entering a complex and challenging world. She may hear the fading, weakening heartbeats of a tired Hospice patient. These Family Doctors will do so using the time-honored medical device known as a stethoscope. Even without using the stethoscope they will hear stories from their patients, some stories clinical and worried, others quiet and hidden. The stories may be about their patients' pains and losses, or about their joys and triumphs. They may be about their fears and weaknesses, or about their courage and strengths. They are usually quiet stories, lives beyond the headlines, the town gossip, even beyond Facebook. The stories are heard if the Family Doctor listens closely. These are the stories beyond the stethoscope, relayed here, in free-verse, as homage to those quiet and fascinating lives.

Book Description
“Wise and witty.”―Publishers Weekly “A charming story well told.”―Kirkus Reviews “Smart, funny, charming . . . full of astute insights into the way Italy works.”―Alexander Stille “A wonderfully fun read.”―Dr. Robert Sapolsky "As funny as it is poignant. A must read for anyone who thinks they understand medicine, Italy, or humanity.”―Barbie Latza Nadeau After completing her medical training in New York, Susan Levenstein set off for a one year adventure in Rome. Forty years later, she is still practicing medicine in the Eternal City. In Dottoressa: An American Doctor in Rome Levenstein writes, with love and exasperation, about navigating her career through the renowned Italian tangle of brilliance and ineptitude, sexism and tolerance, rigidity and chaos. Part memoir―starting with her epic quest for an Italian medical license―and part portrait of Italy from a unique point of view, Dottoressa is packed with vignettes that illuminate the national differences in character, lifestyle, health, and health care between her two countries. Levenstein, who has been called “the wittiest internist on earth,” covers everything from hookup culture to neighborhood madmen, Italian hands-off medical training, bidets, the ironies of expatriation, and why Italians always pay their doctor’s bills.

Book Description
A profound insight into the state of our health care system, the wellbeing of patients and that of their doctors.Our health care system is struggling. We live in an era of factory style medicine; spiralling costs; complex and chronic conditions; and doctors at the heart of it under pressure as never before. Witnessing worrying burnout in her doctor husband, Lucy Mayes went on a quest to find out what is really going on behind the scenes in medicine. Lucy asked doctors on the front lines how they make meaning in their work, what quality medicine looks like to them, and what their hopes are for the future of medicine. What emerged were consistent messages about elements of practice that the culture and systems of medicine still struggle to understand and support: the power of humanism; compassion; time; listening; the therapeutic relationship; and mind-body plus other whole-person understandings of health and healing. Beyond the Stethoscope will leave readers shocked, moved and inspired by the human story and wisdom of those who sit before them in that most intimate and ancient of humanist exchanges: that of the doctor and patient.
