Notes From the Sick Room
by Steve FinbowNotes from the Sick Room is an investigation into the connections between physical illness and creativity. Although there are a number of books investigating mental illness and creativity, there are very few that concentrate on physical illness - cancer, HIV, tuberculosis and disabilities caused by accidents. Incapacity provides time for contemplation and creativity yet pain and discomfort detract from inspiration. Serious illness confronts the individual with the reality of death, the complacency of being is jolted by the shock of non-being. Does one record these incidences or ignore "art" in order to survive?
Notes On Nightingale
by Sioban Nelson Anne Marie RaffertyFlorence Nightingale remains an inspiration to nurses around the world for her pioneering work treating wounded British soldiers during the Crimean War; authorship of Notes on Nursing, the foundational text for nursing practice; establishment of the world's first nursing school; and advocacy for the hygienic treatment of patients and sanitary design of hospitals. In Notes on Nightingale, nursing historians and scholars offer their valuable reflections on Nightingale and analysis of her role in the profession a century after her death on 13 August 1910 and 150 years since the Nightingale School of Nursing (now the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery at King's College, London) opened its doors to probationers at St Thomas' Hospital. There is a great deal of controversy about Nightingale-opinions about her life and work range from blind worship to blanket denunciation. The question of Nightingale and her place in nursing history and in contemporary nursing discourse is a topic of continuing interest for nursing students, teachers, and professional associations. This book offers new scholarship on Nightingale's work in the Crimea and the British colonies and her connection to the emerging science of statistics, as well as valuable reevaluations of her evolving legacy and the surrounding myths, symbolism, and misconceptions.
Notes On... Caring (Notes On (Nursing))
by David StanleyNOTES ON… CARING Discover the connection between care and healing with this transformative book Care is often regarded as fundamental to the nursing profession, almost synonymous. The relationship between care and nursing is presented as though no further explanation is required, no theorisation of what it means to care, and no elaboration of the role played by care in nursing as a profession and a practice. Given the agreed-upon centrality of care to nursing, there is an urgent need for a work analysing this key relationship and what it can mean for nursing professionals. Notes On… Caring meets this need with a clear, concise discussion of caring in the healthcare context. Beginning from the premise that care is essential to fostering the health and healing of others, it sets out to clarify the subject and articulate an ethic of care that can be cultivated in nursing and medical practice. With the COVID-19 pandemic placing nursing care more than ever at the forefront of public health, there has never been a better time to understand what it means for nurses to care. This book is ideal for all nurses, midwives, and other medical professionals or students.

Notes of a Radiology Watcher
by Stephen R. BakerThe Radiology Department is a pivotal part of any acute and/or comprehensive health care facility. The radiologist can no longer just "hide out" there. Matters of imaging are often public concerns, larger in scope than just the scheduling and managing of a series of image tests. Rather radiology is expensive, often intrusive and in some areas earnestly and endlessly controversial. A radiologist must be attuned to these often confounding contingencies. Two recent developments in the monitoring of education of radiologists can be impacted by the content of this book. For trainees in Radiology, and for that matter, for all trainees in every medical specialty in the U. S. , a new accreditation system (NAS) has been put into place under the impetus and aegis of the ACGME, the Accreditation Committee for Graduate Medical Education, the body responsible for graduate medical evaluation and oversight in the U. S. Among its many innovations, the NAS curriculum is concerned with knowledge acquired about social and economic issues pertinent to each specialty. It is also focused on improving communication skills and about enhancing quality and safety. In the elaboration of "milestones" for residency education in these issues are codified into focused initiatives that must be addressed by each trainee as he or she advances in capability and seniority within the training interval.

Notes on Hospitals: Being Two Papers Read Before The National Association For The Promotion Of Social Science, At Liverpool, In October 1858
by Florence NightingaleThe founder of modern nursing expressed her revolutionary ideas of hospital reform in these two essays, published in 1859 and presented the previous year at the Social Science Congress. During the Crimean War, Florence Nightingale achieved renown as The Lady with the Lamp, the tireless caretaker of wounded soldiers. Afterward, Nightingale searched Europe for innovations to help the army improve its hospital care. This report of her findings and suggestions had a profound effect on the medical community and reestablished the author as an international healthcare authority.Despite the advances in medical knowledge since Nightingale's era, her common-sense approach continues to form a solid foundation for nursing. In these essays she voices the importance of hygiene―fresh air and water, cleanliness, proper drainage, and ample light―as well as ongoing consideration for patients' feelings. Nightingale's ability to effectively articulate her ideas impressed her contemporaries and continues to influence modern readers. This volume serves as a companion to Nightingale's classic of nursing literature, Notes on Nursing: What It Is, and What It Is Not.

Notfallsanitäter als neuer Beruf im Rettungsdienst: Ein Überblick über Entwicklungen und Tendenzen (essentials)
by Pierre PfütschPierre Pfütsch zeigt, dass mit dem Notfallsanitätergesetz aus dem Jahr 2014 die berufliche Tätigkeit im Rettungsdienst stark aufgewertet wurde. Den Berufsangehörigen wurde eine dreijährige Ausbildung, die Möglichkeit zur akademischen Bildung und sogar die Ausübung bestimmter heilkundlicher Maßnahmen zugestanden. Nach Ansicht des Autors wird seitdem die Frage nach Delegation bzw. Substitution ärztlicher Leistungen verhandelt. Zu Beginn waren Rettungssanitäter zum überwiegenden Teil ehrenamtliche Mitarbeiter, die kaum mehr als eine Erste-Hilfe-Ausbildung besaßen und lediglich für den Transport zuständig waren. Aufgrund des medizinischen Fortschritts und der steigenden Unfallzahlen im Straßenverkehr setzte Ende der 1960er-Jahre eine Professionalisierung dieses Berufsfeldes ein. Treffen Notfallsanitäter vor dem Notarzt am Unfallort ein und müssen bei lebensbedrohlichen Zuständen tätig werden, begeben sie sich in eine juristische Grauzone, die einige Unsicherheiten mit sich bringt.Der Autor: Dr. Pierre Pfütsch ist Historiker und wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Institut für Geschichte der Medizin der Robert Bosch Stiftung in Stuttgart und forscht dort zur deutsch-deutschen Zeitgeschichte von Gesundheitsberufen.

Nothing About Us Without Us
by James I. CharltonJames Charlton has produced a ringing indictment of disability oppression, which, he says, is rooted in degradation, dependency, and powerlessness and is experienced in some form by five hundred million persons throughout the world who have physical, sensory, cognitive, or developmental disabilities. Nothing About Us Without Us is the first book in the literature on disability to provide a theoretical overview of disability oppression that shows its similarities to, and differences from, racism, sexism, and colonialism. Charlton's analysis is illuminated by interviews he conducted over a ten-year period with disability rights activists throughout the Third World, Europe, and the United States. Charlton finds an antidote for dependency and powerlessness in the resistance to disability oppression that is emerging worldwide. His interviews contain striking stories of self-reliance and empowerment evoking the new consciousness of disability rights activists. As a latecomer among the world's liberation movements, the disability rights movement will gain visibility and momentum from Charlton's elucidation of its history and its political philosophy of self-determination, which is captured in the title of his book. Nothing About Us Without Us expresses the conviction of people with disabilities that they know what is best for them. Charlton's combination of personal involvement and theoretical awareness assures greater understanding of the disability rights movement.
Nothing General About It: How Love (and Lithium) Saved Me On and Off General Hospital
by Maurice Benard Susan BlackThe General Hospital star recounts his emotional journey in this instant bestseller, a story of success, show business, family, and mental health.New York Times–bestselling author and Emmy Award–winning actor Maurice Benard is best known for his twenty-five years of playing Michael “Sonny” Corinthos, Jr., on ABC’s hit daytime television show General Hospital. The rakish mobster is beloved and feared, perhaps in equal measure, but what many viewers don’t know is that for decades, Benard lived in true fear of a much greater threat: himself.In Nothing General About It, Benard relays the challenges of growing up in a small town with undiagnosed bipolar disorder, and his struggle to keep his demons at bay while pursuing a career as an actor. From childhood to the outset of his career—and while building his family—he was pushed to the very boundaries of despair, struggling with the stigma of having a mental illness he felt he couldn’t share with the world. In his first memoir, Benard delves into the most challenging parts of his life, including his tenuous childhood relationship with his father, secretly managing manic episodes on the set of General Hospital, and fending off the terrifying setbacks he experienced when he went off his meds.An advocate for mental health awareness, Benard now uses his platform to show all those who are struggling that there is light to be found. Nothing General About It is more than a story of adversity—it’s a love story, a case study in perseverance and candor, and a reminder that bravery is achieved by embracing who you truly are.
