The Lost Art of Healing

Practicing Compassion in Medicine

By: Bernard Lown

The real crisis in medicine today is not about economics, insurance, or managed care--it's about the loss of the fundamental human relationship between doctor and patient. In this wise and passionate book, one of our most eminent physicians reacquaints us with a classic notion often overlooked in modern medicine: health care with a human face, in which the time-honored art of healing guides doctors in their approach to patient care and their use of medical technology. Drawing on four decades of practice as a cardiologist and a vast knowledge of literature and medical history, Dr. Lown probes the heart and soul of the doctor-patient relationship. Insightful and accessible to all, The Lost Art of Healing describes how true healers use sympathetic listening and touch to hone their diagnostic skills, how language affects the perception of illness, how doctors and patients can cultivate a relationship of trust, and how patients can obtain the most complete and beneficial care through a combination of healing techniques and conventional practices. As Dr. Lown explains, the art of healing does not mean abandoning the spectacular advances of modern science, but rather incorporating them into a sensitive, humane, enlightened approach to medical care. With its urgent message and poignant, fascinating vignettes, The Lost Art of Healing is a book of vital, universal importance.

Your Doctor Can't Make You Healthy

Evidence-Based Insights Into Protecting Your Health and Preventing the Major Lifestyle Killers of Modern Man

By: Bernard E. Bulwer

MOST PEOPLE KILL THEMSELVES...knowingly or unknowingly. They are seduced into believing that doctors and scientists can always fix their medical problems, and the medical community at large has encourage the belief that there will be "a pill for every ill." INTELLIGENT PEOPLE KNOW BETTER. It is time to stop chasing after quick fixes and take a serious look at the evidence. The diseases that kill 70 percent of Americans--cardiovascular diseases (heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, type II diabetes, and some cancers--are preventable, controllable, and sometimes reversible by changing the way we eat and live. While we should salute all medical and scientific research and recognize the roles that genes play, what really matters is your lifestyle--those things you choose or choose not to do. this book is an honest (no hypes or false promises), up-to-date, and scientifically-balanced look at why and how to look after yourself. It imparts insights and lays out a provocative approach on how to stay health or regain lost health. What reputable people have said about this book. This is undoubtedly a very well-produced book, full of useful important information. It is an extremely important book to have written. ---Esmond Harmsworth, Sazhary Schuster Harmsworth Literary Agency (Boston, Your material is so interesting that I couldn't put the book down. I have perhaps two dozen books on health ...I read here and there in these b books. But they are not as comprehensive, persuasive, or as readable as your book, and I have NEVER read any of them from cover to cover. ---Professor Marian Ortolf-Bagley, Ph.D. Professor Design, Emeritus, University of Minnesota. Besides being an obviously astute clinician, Dr. Bulwer is carrying out a systematic program for cardiovascular, nutritional and diabetes education which would serve as a model in our own medical environment. He is dedicated advocate of prevention and education as the most powerful agents of public health. ---David, Singer, M.D. Harvard Medical School Harvard Medical School Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates, Teacher of the Year 1998

Clinical Cardiology: Current Practice Guidelines

By: Demosthenes G. Katritsis,Bernard J. Gersh,A. John Camm

Clinical Cardiology: Current Practice Guidelines Updated Edition is an essential tool for the busy clinician, offering succinct yet detailed access to the most recent trial and guideline data supporting practice and patient management in cardiology. ESC and ACC/AHA guidelines are continually updated and often overlap in their advice, making it difficult for the cardiologist to obtain a clear picture of the right way to diagnose and treat disease according to the latest evidence base. Written by leading authorities in the field, this book, together with its regularly-updated online version, provides a unique solution. The authors have scrutinized all available guidelines and research from both ACC/AHA and ESC on every clinical issue. The result is a rigorous examination of the implications of published guidance, illustrated by more than 600 easy-to-follow tables and 200 full-colour images, which reinforce key points and clarify difficult concepts. 87 comprehensive chapters explore the definition, epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of cardiac disease. Two new chapters examine the univentricular heart and venous thrombembolism. Each chapter encompasses the latest published research, followed by discussions of possible presentations and investigations, offering detailed insights for clinicians into best practice for diagnosis and treatment. Providing at-a-glance access to the best guidance in cardiology, this book offers a diagnosis and management toolkit which no practising cardiologist can afford to be without.

The Arlesey Fossil Diggings

By: Bernard O'Connor

In the 1840s a bed of 'coprolites', thought by some to be fossilised dinosaur droppings, was discovered in the Cambridgeshire fens. Rich in phosphate it was much in demand by the nation's manure manufacturers. By the mid-1860s it was being dug up across much of central Bedfordshire. This book investigates the social, economic and archaeological impact of the fossil diggings in Arlesey, a small, rural community north of Hitchin.
