Medical History Education for Health Practitioners

By: Lisett Lovett,Alannah Tomkins

Twenty-first century medicine is just the current stage of a never-ending journey of tremendous complexity. Those of us who are fortunate enough to practise in this day and age do so in ways that are themselves the results of huge changes over many centuries - advances in areas such as medication and surgical and imaging techniques and developments in our understanding of the human body and its attendant threats through genetics. Add to that list the huge social and societal changes in public health, attitudes to illness and changes in ethical viewpoints, and we find ourselves at the current forefront of medical evolution but nowhere near the end of this particular journey.' From the Foreword by Paul Lazarus This fascinating book brings to life the history of medicine in Britain since 1600. Throughout the historical account the authors cover mainstream clinical issues but also make reference to the importance of literature and art, presenting a wide-ranging view of the past. It also incorporates milestones in other cultures and epochs, where appropriate, for a balanced overview. The concise, self-contained sections are a joy to read and can be easily dipped into. The majority of chapters include suggested questions for students, assisting group discussion. It is ideal for medical and healthcare course organisers, lecturers and tutors who require a rapid resource of information in their subject area - be it cardiovascular disease, emergency medicine or child protection - to provide context, interest and entertainment for their students. It is also highly recommended as the basis for a programme of seminars on the history of medicine.

The Search

Finding My Inner Parent, Finding Holistic Happiness

By: Alannah Dore

Motivated by the need for her children to have a healthy, stable, parent, author Alannah Dore broke through the despair of post-natal depression and the collapse of her immune system to find healing and ongoing empowerment through self-parenting on all levels. Now she recounts her journey in The Search, sharing the three habits that led her from symptoms of physical, emotional, and mental pain to holistic happiness. To succeed, it was critical for her to determine exactly what choices she needed to make in her own life. Her first momentous, life-changing choice was made when she was collapsed on her living room floor. She had just received the devastating news from her doctors that she would never get better. Even so, she was determined to find a way to improve her physical and emotional health, a decision that lead her to develop a personalized, nurturing and healing collection of strategies, that became a self-parenting system. Alannah explains that in order to achieve Holistic Happiness or true overall happiness, we must learn to care for ourselves emotionally and physically, in the same way we would effectively care for a child. The Search shares her foundation techniques for self-parenting, demonstrating how we can create miracles for health, better relationships, better parenting, and healing in order to triumph with humour and gentleness.

Finding My Inner Parent, Finding Holistic Happiness

By: Alannah Breen Dore

We all experience grief, loss and deep disappointment but what matters most is how we choose to respond when challenged: do we give up or go searching? What if you could use your pain to create something wonderful? This is the question explored through this story of one woman's journey of discovery as she overcame seemingly impossible odds to find holistic wellbeing. With three well recognised holistic elements - mind, body and spirit - Alannah Dore embraces a crucial gap in holistic healing: the emotions. This story speaks to our common struggles in life - loving relationships, parenting and how to find peace and purpose within ourselves. Like a friend, Alannah takes the reader's hand, sharing her truth and providing practical strategies to leverage for your own journey towards joyful living and emotional wellbeing. Read it in a few hours (though you will likely want to return to it again and again) or gift it to someone who needs some inspiration.

Medical Misadventure in an Age of Professionalisation, 1780-1890

By: Alannah Tomkins

This book looks at medical professionalisation from a new perspective, one of failure rather than success. It questions the existing picture of broad and rising medical prosperity across the nineteenth century to consider the men who did not keep up with professionalising trends. It unpicks the life stories of men who could not make ends meet or who could not sustain a professional persona of disinterested expertise, either because they could not overcome public accusations of misconduct or because they struggled privately with stress. In doing so it uncovers the trials of the medical marketplace and the pressures of medical masculinity. All professionalising groups risked falling short of rising expectations, but for doctors these expectations were inflected in some occupationally specific ways.
