Quacks: Two Years as a Patient in a Veterans Affairs Nursing Home

By: Fred Dungan

A while back, I made the mistake of walking into the VA hospital in Loma Linda, California, to get a right knee implant. How was I supposed to know the surgeon was lying about his rate of success? He lost my upper partial dental plate, the titanium prothesis became infected, and my right knee is now frozen in a bent position. I can't stand up, I'm not comfortable lying down, I'm horribly scarred, I can't drive, and I'm stuck in a rickety wheelchair that desperately needs a front end alignment. They addicted me to morphine and sent me home to die. God help me before I'm dead and gone. Quacks is about negligence, malpractice, and abuse in VA nursing homes. Read it to find out how to change the VA system for the better.

Crossroads to Eden

A Novel

By: Fred M. Frohock

Paul Lorca, an American professor of cultural anthropology, is living in London during a sabbatical. One evening, while walking through crowded Leicester Square, he and his thirteen-year-old daughter, Sandra, lose each other. After a frantic search, he finds her. But during the course of the next several weeks, he comes to believe that it is not his daughter he has found, but someone or something else. What if it were possible to clone a beloved deceased family member and an historical figure from 2000 years ago? A privately-funded underground medical research team in New York City works to clone a messiah with DNA extracted from the Shroud of Turin. Stacey Manning, a brilliant young biochemist, is invited to join the team. She accepts because she wants to clone her sister, recently killed in a tragic auto accident. In Miami, terrorists are targeting Cuban-Americans. A group forms to oppose this threat, but what are the consequences for the lawyer who volunteers to undertake the role of avenger? Crossroads to Eden is a fast-paced ensemble novel of extraordinary characters and their journeys into the unexplored regions of alien possession, reproductive cloning guided by the miracles of contemporary science, and efforts to cope with domestic terrorism.

The Struggle for Public Health

Seven People Who Saved the Lives of Millions and Transformed the Way We Live

By: Fred C. Pampel

The fascinating stories of public health innovators who overcame immense obstacles to improve the health of millions. In the nineteenth century, the scourge of deadly infectious diseases permanently receded for the first time in human history while longevity steadily improved. This progress was due in large part to advances in the public health field, including improved sanitation and cleaner water. Progress in health and longevity continued through the twentieth century, again thanks in part to public health advances in safer food, access to nursing care, an understanding of health disparities, reduced tobacco use, and a global network for vaccine distribution. In The Struggle for Public Health, Fred C. Pampel shares the stories of public health innovators who, over a period of 150 years, helped save lives and change the way we live. These engaging stories feature scientific discoveries, strong personalities, and new forms of social behavior. But these changes did not come without struggle: public health advances met vigorous resistance from vested interests in the status quo, attachment to deeply embedded but false beliefs, and the sheer difficulty of creating large-scale changes in public behavior. This well-researched and historically grounded volume chronicles the fascinating lives of seven advocates for public health progress, including a London bureaucrat who devoted his life to cleaning up filthy streets and neighborhoods, an activist nurse who provided first-rate care and health guidance to newly arrived immigrants, and the organizational genius who overcame limited funding, bureaucratic inertia, and political infighting to deliver vaccines across the world. It features public health innovations developed by Edwin Chadwick, John Snow, Harvey Wiley, Lillian Wald, W.E.B. Du Bois, Richard Doll, and D. A. Henderson. The inspiring stories in The Struggle for Public Health offer insights on past advances and the potential for future solutions that could save lives and improve the quality of life for millions of people.

Blind Justice

By: Fred Horrell

Raymond Royal lost his desire to live when he returned home to find his wife and daughter murdered. He quickly learned the only viable suspect was himself, with no other persons of interest. Months later, he suffered severe burns to his legs from a mysterious courthouse fire. He endured constant pain, refused to eat, was uncooperative, and wanted to die. In the hospital, Ray encountered a brown-eyed nurse, learning she had lost a loved one to violence months before he did. They became very close. Sharing their faith in God. When a Justice Department agent informed Royal that the police would never investigate those responsible for the murders of his family, he offered an opportunity to track down those liable. Ray’s Special Forces experience provided an excellent disguise to destroy an expanding drug ring that had ordered the hit on his family. Can their growing relationship and their faith withstand the perils and challenges of Royal’s quest for Blind Justice? Will the brown-eyed nurse accept his dispensing of Justice? Would he still love her if she revealed her hidden secrets and confessed her past? Their Faith will be tested in a roller coaster of trials, emotions, and deceit.

By: Maria Tcherni-Buzzeo,Fred Pyrczak

Evaluating Research in Academic Journals is a guide for students learning how to evaluate reports of empirical research published in academic journals.

Common-sense models for evaluation, combined with a lack of jargon make it possible for students to start evaluating research articles in the first week of class, making this the ideal textbook for instructors and students across a range of disciplines. New to this edition: A new chapter on Types of Research Coverage of the new realities of online survey methods and research using big data A new appendix on Emerging Issues in Survey Research More emphasis and information on qualitative, case studies, and action research Expanded discussion of research ethics, including additional research-ethics-oriented guidelines, and new appendices devoted to noteworthy cases of research ethics breaches.

Craven Fortune

The well-trained servants glided about the dining-room in the noiseless fashion peculiar to their class. It was a large perfectly-appointed room, filled with priceless pictures, bronzes and old furniture, and the arrangement of the electric light was a dream. For Stephen Morrison had been wise in his day and generation. A money-maker of the new type, he had no time to become a collector. He had engaged a clever artist who was a connoisseur in such matters, and had given him a blank cheque to furnish his house at Middlesworth. When money and taste go together there is only one result possible, and this result Morrison had obtained. Men of large estate and ancient pedigree envied Morrison his house...

The Tuskegee Syphilis Study

The Real Story and Beyond

By: Fred D. Gray

In 1932, the U.S. Public Health Service recruited 623 African American men from Macon County, Alabama, for a study of "the effects of untreated syphilis in the Negro male." For the next 40 years--even after the development of penicillin, the cure for syphilis--these men were denied medical care for this potentially fatal disease. The Tuskegee Syphilis Study was exposed in 1972, and in 1975 the government settled a lawsuit but stopped short of admitting wrongdoing. In 1997, President Bill Clinton welcomed five of the Study survivors to the White House and, on behalf of the nation, officially apologized for an experiment he described as wrongful and racist. In this book, the attorney for the men describes the background of the Study, the investigation and the lawsuit, the events leading up to the Presidential apology, and the ongoing efforts to see that out of this painful and tragic episode of American history comes lasting good.

Blind Zeus

By: Fred Horrell

What would happen if the President and First Lady secretly snuck away on a weekend fishing trip to East Tennessee? Six Secret Service agents accompanied them for protection and planned to return early Monday morning. It would have been perfect except for Mother Nature's unexpected catastrophe. After watching five out of six of their Secret Service agents fall to their death with the collapsing bridge, they find themselves thrust into an impossible situation. Should the President and First Lady hide their identities from those helping to save their remaining agent? While Nurse Shelby Ford tends to the injured Brandon Dyson, they embark on a roller-coaster ride of mixed emotions, ranging from contempt to hate to eventually even love. President Bentley and the First Lady Susan are isolated from the rest of the world, trapped in a rural community. No electricity. No cell phone service. Limited fresh water and food. Will their Christian faith remain intact as a multitude of circumstances threaten to overwhelm everyone? Others had to be searching for America's first family? But where are they? How long would they remain in Ragland Bottom hiding their true identities?
