Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Chenu was a French Dominican friar, a renowned historian, and a theologian with extraordinary creative insight. He shaped the Dominican study center, Le Saulchoir, as its director and as an influential professor from the late 1920s until he was removed by the Vatican in 1942 (for writing a theological program for the school that sounded much like the future Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World). He influenced two generations of scholars with his rare combination of scientific excellence and pastoral wisdom. Fifty years after Vatican II, historians are still discovering documents and letters that offer important insights into the Council's meaning. This brief journal written by Marie-Dominique Chenu, masterfully edited by Alberto Melloni, is such a document. It reveals the decisive role Chenu played in several initiatives that shaped the Council's character; but, more importantly, it brings to light the dynamic networking of bishops and theologians that lay behind the Council's achievement of so much in so few years. Covering the years 1962-1963, Chenu's Notebook allows readers to feel the drama of the Council's opening period. At the Council, he promoted and drafted its great Message to the World that was the Council's first published statement. In it, many of Chenu's key intuitions became part of an official church statement about its hope for the future: attention to the 'signs of the times', the integration of science and technology into the Church's pastoral message, and commitment to justice and the care of the poor. His Vatican II Notebook is an exciting peek into great moments in a great man's life.

Beyond the Fire and the Rain

By: Wilbert Williams Jr. M.D.

In July 1978, Dr. Wilbert Williams Jr. was standing on a street corner in Brooklyn, New York, afraid for his life. It had been less than three months since he was awarded a medical degree from Albany Medical College in upstate New York; yet there he wasenduring racial slurs from a group of angry white people who hated him simply because of the color of his skin. Even as the police stood guarding him, the group continued to taunt him with the words, He can go back where he came from. In his poignant memoir, Williams narrates the story of how he beat overwhelming odds, as an African American youth growing up in a public housing project in Brooklyn, New York, to eventually become a physician. While chronicling a journey that took him from the streets of New York through the challenges of medical school to the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Croix, he details how he learned to prevail over racism, anxiety, and depression in order to achieve his dream of becoming a doctor. Dr. Williamss inspiring story offers motivation to soar over the challenges of life and reach for the stars.

Civil War Surgeon - Biography of James Langstaff Dunn, MD

By: Paul B. Kerr MD

This book is a Biography of James Langstaff Dunn, MD, Civil War Surgeon and unwavering Patriot, from Medical Student 1846 to War End 1865. A modern doctor, Paul B Kerr, MD, obtained 140 letters Dunn wrote to his dear wife, Temperance, and children, from his College and War years. Dr Kerr interprets the letters as relates to surgery, diseases, tent life, prisons, hospitals and logistics in the light of life and medicine today, and his own experiences in Army Medicine in WW II and Korea. Dr Kerr also discusses the knowledge of anesthesia in the 1800s, and how it evolved during 40 years of his own practice of anesthesia. Dunn was the Surgeon of the 109th PA Volunteers of Infantry for three years, a Batallion that carried many central assignments and battles. Fighting for 1 1/2 years with the Army of the Potomac, his unit did a second 1 1/2 years with the Army of the Tennessee. Dunn describes first-hand the Battles for Gettysburg, Chancellorsville, Chattanooga, Atlanta and the occupancy of Savannah. You won't forget his exhausting personal help for women and babies in the fiery destruction of Columbia, South Carolina. Nor will his description of first entry into Atlanta be forgotten. Dunn personally names Clara Barton "The Angel of the Battlefield." He witnesses the amazing assault on Lookout Mountain, visits relatives in Cincinnati and Nashville. In Washington, he observes President Lincoln and the huge tent city with thousands of marching men there. We have from him a dateline Washington, DC on the very day Lincoln was shot. We meet his boss and friend, General John Geary, who from Mayor of San Francisco and Governor of Kansas, becomes his Commandant, and, after the War, Governor of Pennsylvania. We learn first hand about drunkenness, "Hospital Gangrene;" and Dunn's encounters with slaves, the aristocracy of Virginia and the primitive whites of the Tennessee Mountains. Throughout, Dr Dunn keeps his morals, his devotion to the Union and his disgust with pacifists at home in Pennsylvania and in Congress. He discusses the Conscription Laws and means of substitution. His letters are full of Military Information that in other wars were subject to censorship. His 140 letters are as a "War Correspondent.

An American Doctor's Life Divinely Orchestrated

By: Leslie R. Webber M.D.

This is the story of LESLIE WEBBER, a retired physician with interesting adversities, from the depression years to the 90s. The writing was mostly for family, but at this time I have been encouraged to publish it. The most of the material is from memory, but augmented by letters written over a 35 year period, which my mother had saved. I was a letter writer from the time I left home at age 15 until my mothers death. I was not aware she had saved them all until they were discovered after her death in a closet. My mother and grandmother were instrumental in my success by their persistent prayers in my behalf. From my perspective, coincidence, does not answer many details of my story as well as divine intervention. Windows seemed to open in reasonable times when doors were closed. The reader can make up his or her own mind.

Doctor in a Dress, the Life and Times of Bonnie Jean Blacklock, MD

By: Bonnie Jean Blacklock,MD Bonnie Blacklock

As a little girl, Bonnie played with pill bugs and lizards instead of dolls. She became a doctor in 1963, graduating with two other "girl doctors" and 127 men; breaking ground for women physicians who followed in her footsteps and still fight for equality in the workplace - and this while raising a family. It's a story of exhilaration, hope, tragedy, and resolution that will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between. "I didn't get into medical school the first time I applied. I was appalled when the dean looked me straight in the eye and said, 'Mrs. Blacklock, if we accept you, we'll be taking that position away from a man who has a family to support.' I left in a huff, making it clear I didn't see his point." Doctor in a Dress is an inspiring memoir about life as it was lived in America during the last 90 years or so. In clear and authentic prose Mom celebrates the achievements of herself and her family as they meet the great and small challenges of life. This will play in Peoria as well as deep in the heart of Texas Dennis Littrell I met Bonnie and her remarkable husband, David Sr., sixteen years ago when I became employed with the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitation Services in Austin, Texas. Although I admired the Blacklocks and considered them friends, I was unaware of Bonnie s and David s history until I read an early version of her memoir. The devastating incident that left David partially paralyzed would have destroyed a lesser man and woman. After the difficult times of David s initial recovery, Bonnie enrolled in medical school with the idea that she might have to become the chief provider. Bonnie s work ethic kept her going until her retirement from family practice at age 70, and retirement from administrative medicine at the young age of 91 a remarkable achievement. I was moved by Bonnie s story, and I admire the strength of both her and David Sr. Kelvin Samaratunga, MD MS FRCS FRCSE, neurological surgeon

Zebra

It's Not All Black and White in the Physical Or Spiritual Worlds

By: Michael Kram MD

PHYSICIAN SAVES HIS OWN LIFE CRITIQUES FUTURE DIRECTION OF HEALTHCARE... Zebra: It's Not All Black and White in the Physical or Spiritual Worlds is a compelling medical mystery memoir, seen through the eyes of a successful religiously observant physician who became the patient. He was labeled as a Zebra, a fascinoma, and had to search for his own diagnosis. As he tells of his gripping journey through his life-threatening medical crisis, the author provides the reader with a long, hard look into our broken health care system. The strong undercurrents of emunah (faith and belief in a higher purpose) working hand in hand with perseverance and advocacy will resonate with all readers. Feel the anguish and emotional turmoil as Dr. Kram's chronological metamorphosis unfolds from busy gastroenterologist caring for others to stressed and sometimes overwhelmed Zebra coping with life's difficult vicissitudes. People of all faiths will find this book a source of comfort and will walk away with wise counsel in dealing with their own crises as they follow the author through his epic journey. Well written and researched, this timely book will have readers nodding their heads in agreement with many of the anecdotes along the author's roller coaster of events. As a physician, professor, congregational rabbi, former hospital CEO, and medical school Associate Dean, I strongly recommend Zebra to health care workers, patients and people of all stripes and religions.

Tales of a Country Obstetrician

Unforgettable Stories about Practicing Medicine in Alabama

By: Daniel M. Avery MD

Daniel M. Avery has been fascinated with the human body ever since he was young, so it was natural that he should grow up to become a successful doctor. As a funeral director, he had his first opportunity to learn about anatomy, disease processes, and trauma. He even witnessed the medical examiner performing autopsies in the morgue. Once he became a doctor, his adventures were more interesting-although there are decisions he regrets. For instance, he would have never called the university to tow away an illegally parked recreation vehicle if he had known it belonged to the dean of the medical school. In spite of the seriousness of the medical profession, he enjoyed his share of light moments as well. When a female resident delivered a baby and got blood all over her, she asked if she could borrow a pair of underwear. "We wear different sizes, and I only have one pair," Dr. Avery replied. All physicians have at one time or another wished they had written down the highlights of their careers. Dr. Avery does so with no regrets, examining the challenges, adventures, and funny moments that have defined his life as an Alabama doctor in "Tales of a Country Obstetrician.

Paging Dr. A: Continuing Stories from a Country Doctor

By: M. D. Jimmie Ashcraft

In 1904 a famous and legendary physician named Sir William Osler counseled doctors to "Live a simple and temperate life, that you may give all your powers to your profession. Medicine is a jealous mistress; she will be satisfied with no less." Unlike this famous advice, most physicians do not live a simple life. The demands by patients, hospitals, communities, political groups, and others for a doctor's time can be extraordinary. As a young boy Dr. Osler's mistress seduced me, and I have had a lifelong affair with her. The book's title, Paging Dr. A, relates to the many ways I was summoned or contacted over the years. A phone ringing, or a pager beeping, or a nurse having a hunch about a patient, or a sheriff coming to my home in the middle of the night all requested my help. I learned that someone waving at me in a crowd, a pat on my back, or a note written on a scrap of paper could also be asking for my assistance with a medical problem or to give a presentation to educate others. With time and experience, I learned that a person's appearance and body language often communicated a better medical history than the spoken word. This retrospective presents more true stories about my journey through fifty years of medicine. Some stories have extended notes inserted into the text to give the reader clarity about certain topics. Some stories contain "Food For Thought" topics. Like the stories in my other books, Reflections of a Country Doctor, The Next Prescription, and Side Effects, some are silly, some are sad, some will make you happy, and some might make you mad. I hope you enjoy this portion of my life's journey in medicine. Doctor Ashcraft is a retired rural family physician and educator. He and his wife Kay live in Billings, Montana. They spend their time with their growing family, traveling, volunteering, and pursuing hobbies. They have three grown children and seven grandchildren.

The One-Eyed Surgeon with Only One Thumb

Adventures with My Dad, Harry C. Barber, MD, FACS

By: John C. Barber, M.d.,Md Faao Barber

This book tells of the life of an extraordinary physician who overcame a teenage hunting accident in which he lost his left thumb and left eye. Through hard work and diligence, he became an excellent surgeon and medical leader in Central Illinois. The highlight of his career was the two years during World War II that he spent above the Arctic Circle repairing injured soldiers. After the war, he returned to Bloomington-Normal, Illinois, to become a leader in the medical community. He was from the era of five-dollar office visits and eight-dollar house calls although he was quick to reduce his fees and care for the indigent. He loved to tell stories, so many of his favorite stories are retold in this book.

Reflections on a Bountiful Life

By: Alexander Kalenak,Alexander Kalenak M D

Something More" by Alexander Kalenak, M.D. is a remarkable personal history of a WW II childhood, a pioneering career in sports medicine, and a life seeking the true meanings of medical care and spiritual faith. "On my way to the training room where players were suiting up for the game, I would stop to think about what kinds of emergencies I might have to deal with. I would think about neck injuries, head injuries, broken legs, dislocated hips and what would have to be done quickly. I knew that for the next six or seven hours, I would be in a world of semi-controlled chaos, and I wanted to be sure I was in a frame of mind to deal with any major crisis in front of a hundred thousand people. I would pray that there would be no serious injuries, but if there were, that I would be able to apply my knowledge and my skills to take care of the players. This was my mental preparation for the game." "Throughout my life I have been certain that the central thing we have been put upon earth to do is to develop and nurture relationships. If you nurture relationships, many rewards will come to you. It's just that simple.
