Pregnancy and Postpartum Considerations for the Veterinary Team
by Emily SinglerPrecautions often apply to pregnancy in any workplace, but being a vet in practice presents additional specific risks. There are concerns and uncertainty about potential hazards, from radiation and inhalant anesthesia exposure, to zoonoses, and the additional mental stress in a profession that already carries high suicide risk. This book reviews considerations for professionals in clinical veterinary medicine (large and small animal) while pregnant and after giving birth. Veterinarian and veterinary writer, consultant, and mentor Dr Emily Singler speaks directly to veterinary team members (veterinarians, technicians, CSRs, assistants, students) who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. She delivers scientific information on the specific risks to the mother and baby that may be encountered during pregnancy while working in veterinary medicine, with some of her own and others’ experiences to add perspective and humor. The book also covers topics related to mental health challenges, announcing a pregnancy and planning for parental leave, navigating the fourth trimester, and returning to work. We hope that having read this book, veterinary professionals – whether pregnant or working with pregnant colleagues – will feel better supported and empowered to make informed decisions.

Prejudice, Identity and Well-Being: Voices of Diversity Among College Students
by Charles T. HillThis essential and timely text looks at the ways in which various identities are socially constructed by students, exploring and comparing multiple dimensions of diverse identities, and the various ways students try to fit in when faced with prejudice and discrimination. Based on more than 20 years of data collected from Multiple Identities Questionnaires, plus Self-Identity papers in the author’s Diverse Identities course, this book gives voice to the diverse and intersectional identities experienced by students at a formative time in their lives. Analyzing data from more than three thousand college students, the book gives a uniquely comprehensive overview of identity formation, stigma, prejudice, and discrimination, which are part of conflict around the world. Author Charles T. Hill asks to what extent the students have experienced prejudice or discrimination regarding each of their identities, their own prejudice and discrimination toward others of each identity, and the importance of each type of identity for their self-concept. Split into three sections: the first part of the book gives an overview of terminologies and theoretical concepts, the second part explores the multiple dimensions of each identity using data from the MIQ interspersed with quotes from Self-Identity papers, and the third part compares and combines the different types of identities. Introduced with a foreword by Professor Emeritus of Africana Studies James M. Jones, the book opens a space to help students and others explore their identities, realize that they are not alone in their struggles with prejudice, and accept themselves with pride in their identities. Featuring highlighted key concepts and self-reflection sections, as well as further reading, measures, and statistical results, this book is essential not only for undergraduate and graduate students in social psychology, health psychology, sociology, ethnic studies, and social work, but also for therapists, parents, teachers and practitioners running Diversity Training Programs for non-students.
Prem: प्रेम
by Dada Bhagwanसच्चा प्रेम हम किसे कहते है? सच्चा प्रेम तो वह होता है जो कभी भी कम या ज़्यादा ना हो और हमेशा एक जैसा बना रहे| हमें लगता है कि हमें हमारे आसपास के सभी लोगो पर बहुत प्रेम है पर जब भी वह हमारे कहे अनुसार कुछ नहीं करते तो हम तुरंत ही बहुत गुस्सा हो जाते है| पूज्य दादाभगवान इसे प्रेम नहीं कहते| वह कहते है कि यह सब तो सिर्फ एक भ्रान्ति ही है| सच्चा प्रेम तो वह होता है जिसमें किसी भी प्रकार कि अपेक्षा नहीं होती और जो सबके साथ हर समय और हर परिस्तिथि में एक जैसा बना रहता है| ऐसा सच्चा प्रेम तो बस एक ज्ञानी ही कर सकते है जिन्हें लोगो में कोई भी भेदभाव मालूम नहीं होता और इसलिए उनका व्यवहार सबके साथ बहुत ही स्नेहपूर्ण होता है| फिर भी हम थोड़ी कोशिश करे तो, ऐसा प्रेम कुछ अंश तक हमारे अंदर भी जगा सकते है| यह सब कैसे संभव है, यह जानने के लिए अवश्य पढ़े यह किताब और अपने जीवन को ‘प्रेममय’ बनाइये|
Prem: પ્રેમ
by Dada Bhagwanપ્રેમથી આખી જિંદગીમાં પત્ની અને સંતાનોની ભૂલ ક્યારેય પણ નહિ દેખાય. પ્રેમમાં કોઈ ભૂલો દેખાતી જ નથી. લોકો એકબીજાની ભૂલો કેમ જુએ છે તે જુઓ, ‘તું આવો છે’ ‘ના, તું આવો છે.’ જગતે પ્રેમનો એક અંશ પણ જોયો નથી. આ બધું મોહ અને આસક્તિ છે. શુદ્ધ પ્રેમ વધતો કે ઘટતો નથી. શુદ્ધ પ્રેમ બિનશરતી હોય છે. પ્રેમમાં કોઈ અપેક્ષા નથી હોતી. પ્રેમ ક્યારેય કોઈ અપેક્ષા રાખતો નથી. જગતના વ્યવહારમાં, ફક્ત પ્રેમ જ બાળકો, કામદારો અને બીજા બધાને જીતી શકે છે. બીજા બધા ઉપાયો અંતે નિરર્થક પુરવાર થશે. તમે છોડ ઉગાડો છો, તેને પણ તમારે પ્રેમથી સિંચન કરવું પડે છે. ફક્ત પાણી નાખીને તેની પર બુમો પાડવાથી નહિ ચાલે. જો પ્રેમથી ઉછેરવામાં આવે, તેની સાથે પ્રેમથી વાતો કરવામાં આવે, તો તે તમને મોટા સુંદર ફૂલો આપશે! તો અનુમાન કરો, મનુષ્યો પર આ પ્રેમ કેટલી મોટી અસર કરી શકે!. જગતે અગાઉ ક્યારેય જોયો, સાંભળ્યો, માન્યો કે અનુભવ્યો નથી તેવો પરમ પ્રેમ આપણે જોઈતો હોય તો પ્રેમની જીવતી મૂર્તિ એવા જ્ઞાની પુરુષની ભક્તિ કરવી જોઈએ. તમારા જીવન ને પ્રેમ અને સુખથી ભરી દેવા વાંચો....

Preparing for a Better End: Expert Lessons on Death and Dying for You and Your Loved Ones
by Dan MorhaimA vital roadmap to planning your own end-of-life care.While modern Americans strive to control nearly every aspect of their lives, many of us abandon control of life's final passage. But the realities of twenty-first-century medicine will allow most of us to have a say in how, when, and where we die, so we need to make decisions surrounding death, too. Or those decisions may be made for us. Threading compelling real-life stories and practical guidance throughout, this book helps readers navigate end-of-life care for themselves and their loved ones.In this practical guidebook, Dr. Dan Morhaim and Shelley Morhaim offer readers hope, empowerment, and inspiration. What we choose for our end-of-life care, they assert, depends on accurate information and on our personal values. We need these not only to understand new medical advances but also to appreciate the wisdom of humanity's past and present. Dan Morhaim, an emergency medicine physician and former Maryland state legislator, guides readers through the medical, legal, and financial maze of end-of-life care. He details the care choices available to patients and explains why living wills and advance directives are a necessity for every American. He tells readers where to find free and readily available living wills and advance directives and why it is so important for everyone—young and old—to complete them. Meanwhile, Shelley Morhaim draws on her experience as a therapeutic music practitioner for hospice and hospital patients to offer compassion to readers facing hard decisions.The authors reflect on a number of timely topics, including• what doctors—including Dr. Morhaim specifically—want for themselves in terms of end-of-life care• how legislative initiatives on assisted dying vary by state• how to obtain medical orders for life-sustaining treatment (MOLST/POLST)• how to deal with dementia• what to expect from palliative and hospice care• how to cope with pain at the end of life, including with medical cannabis and narcotics• how organ donation and body disposition work• how to communicate individual needs to lawyers, physicians, and family members• how to make decisions when selecting the best care for yourself and othersand more.Organized as a roadmap that people should follow when they plan end-of-life care and contingencies, this book helps readers keep decisions in their own hands and spare their families the uncertainty and trauma of guessing about their end-of-life wishes. Breaking down the barriers to a difficult but essential topic, Preparing for a Better End helps readers open this often-avoided discussion with their loved ones while providing the information and guidance needed to ensure that deeply held values are reflected and honored.Praise for the Author "In The Better End, Dr. Morhaim helps the reader to see that while death does have its sting, it need not be bitter, and each of us can prepare for the end in better ways."—Maya Angelou "Dan Morhaim's message is a must read for anyone who is facing end-of-life crisis issues and concerns, whether it be for themselves or for a family member or loved one. When so many others shun away from the topic, Dan Morhaim addresses the situation with clarity, insight, and sensitivity."—Montel Williams

Heavy-handed government attempts to crack down on pain and anxiety medications have terrorized doctors and pharmacists and left thousands of desperate people in severe pain.Prescription Drug Abuse shows how big the problem is: how it became a problem, what is being done about it, and what readers can do. The book shows the risks, the benefits, and the safe way to use some of modern healthcare's most miraculous medicines.
