The Rhetoric of Medicine

Lessons on Professionalism from Ancient Greece

By: Dr Nigel Nicholson,Dr Nathan Selden

The Rhetoric of Medicine explores problems that confront medical professionals today by first examining similar problems that confronted physicians in ancient Greece. This framework provides illuminating entry points into challenges faced by the practice of medicine, enabling readers to understand more clearly their shape and operation in the modern context-as well as their possible solutions. Topics covered include: larger cultural ideas about the body; tension between professional values and working for money; effective collaboration and competition with alternative healthcare providers; restrictions on political involvement that are part of a physician's identity; maintaining a space for professional autonomy and judgment; mentoring that is effective but not exclusive; and physicians' recognition of themselves as patients as well as professionals. A unique collaboration between a classicist and a neurosurgeon, The Rhetoric of Medicine is a call to interrogate the narratives and ideas that shape medical care and to revise and replace those that do not serve patient health.

Turnabout

By: Dr. Bobby D. Waddell

“A person who is not afraid to cry in the place of prayer, or a person who is not afraid to laugh in the place of prayer is a person uninhibited in the place of prayer.” Although Elbert and Irene Waddell experienced a host of challenges in their childhood, they overcame their circumstances to become a power couple for God. Elbert came from a long line of alcoholics; Irene was born into poverty, lost her father at an early age, and lived a hard childhood. In Turnabout, author Dr. Bobby D. Waddell, Elbert’s and Irene’s son, describes how his parents faced many rough years early in their marriage. He tells how God stepped into their lives and created a turnabout change that allowed them to become a positive spiritual influence to their family, their pastorate, and the many other people who came to know them. Turnabout narrates the story of a plain, simple, small-town couple who traveled a unique journey in their ministry for Christ, sharing how their actions and presence in life demonstrated what being a Christian is all about.

Wyndham Lewis and the Cultures of Modernity

By: Dr Nathan Waddell,Ms Alice Reeve-Tucker,Professor Andrzej Gasiorek

Making a strong case for a revaluation of Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957), this collection argues that significant aspects of Lewis's writing, painting, and thinking have not yet received the attention they deserve. The contributors explore Lewis's contributions to the production and circulation of modernism and assess the links between Lewis's writing and painting and the work of other key contemporary figures, to position Lewis not only as one of the first twentieth-century cultural critics but also as one who anticipated the work of the Frankfurt School and other social theorists. Familiar topics and themes such as Vorticism receive fresh appraisals, and Lewis's significance as a philosopher-critic, novelist, and artist becomes fully realized in the context of his associations with important figures such as John Rodker, Charlie Chaplin, Evelyn Waugh, Naomi Mitchison, and Rebecca West. Lewis emerges as a figure whose writings on politics, corporate patronage, shell shock, anthropology, art, and cinema extend their influence into the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
