This book examines the phenomenon of physician-authors. Focusing on the books that contemporary doctors write--the stories that they tell--with contributors critically engaging their work. A selection of original chapters from leading scholars in medical and health humanities analyze the literary output of doctors, including Oliver Sacks, Danielle Ofri, Atul Gawande, Louise Aronson, Siddhartha Mukherjee, and Abraham Verghese. Discussing issues of moral meaning in the works of contemporary doctor-writers, from memoir to poetry, this collection reflects some of the diversity of medicine today. A key reference for all students and scholars of medical and health humanities, the book will be especially useful for those interested in the relationship between literature and practising medicine.

Wednesday's Child, the autobiography of a retired Cardiologist, spans seven decades and is written in three parts: Youth, Manhood, and Old Age. The story is inductively reasoned, intentionally irreverent, and purposefully iconoclastic. It is an intimate vignette of incidents, personal and medical anecdotes, facts, and opinions. Family and personal relationships are laid bare as the author also describes his own flaws and shortcomings. Much like Aesop's Fables, the author seeks to find a kernel of universal truth in a litany of brief anecdotal episodes, some of which are humorous, unusual, entertaining, sordid, or salacious. Part One, Youth, describes the author's social and ancestral roots, then follows him through the late nineteen 1960s, up to and including Medical School in 1969. He explores the difficulties inherent in the culture-clash marriage of his parents; an impoverished Texas farm girl and a first-generation New York Italian dentist who met during World War II. Family conflicts are laid bare within the framework of navigating a public-school education. Part Two, Manhood, describes five years of postgraduate medical training in Internal Medicine and Cardiology at a New York City hospital adjacent to the Harlem ghetto during the crime ridden years 1970s. This was the era of pansexual 'free love' that ushered in the homosexual AIDs epidemic, the Disco craze, and excessive drug use. The author describes the difficulties of starting a Cardiology practice in the posh New York Long Island Hamptons. He becomes affiliated with the local police, a CIA operative, a loan shark and a spate of eclectic patients, friends, and celebrities. As a medical manager he must deal with several dysfunctional physicians and hospital politics. Part Three, Old Age, includes a brief clinical tenure in Tennessee, personal burnout, dealing with aging parents, Alzheimer's Disease, and then retirement, followed by working for several volunteer services. This is woven into the author's opinions on selected social and political issues that plague the United States, worldwide racial, religious, and cultural bias, global warming, and finally-our planets future and its place in the universe.

Medical practitioners are key actors in many well-known works of fiction and literature, presenting a vital insight into the social, medical, scientific and ethical concerns of their authors and readers. However, medical professionals are often left little time to explore such cultural perceptions of their profession, and by extension themselves, despite the extent to which the views of their patients and society have been - and still are - shaped by them. Doctors in Fiction explores and analyzes representations of medical practitioners in fiction, encompassing classic and contemporary literature, popular fiction, and authors from many nations and traditions. These include among others: Albert Camus A* Anton Checkhov A* Robertson Davies A* Graham Greene A* George Eliot A* Ian McEwan A* F. Scott Fitzgerald A* Jaroroslav Hasek A* Henrik Ibsen A* John Irving A* Patrick O'Brien A* Boris Pasternak A* Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn This book will be of interest to those with an interest in the medical humanities, and to students of cultural history and literature. It will also be of particular interest to medical practitioners of all kinds who enjoy literature and wish to understand and reflect upon wider perceptions of their profession.

An eminent surgeon, who has written books on the history of medicine and cartography, profiles physicians past and present who have also published works in the humanities. Throughout history doctors have felt the need to express themselves in prose and poetry, often on subjects far removed from their medical interests. Renowned surgeon Seymour I. Schwartz felt this same compulsion to write and eventually decided to investigate other authors with a background in medicine. The result is this informative and entertaining compilation of biographical profiles spanning the Middle Ages to the present era. In many cases, literary fame has eclipsed memory of these authors' medical expertise: Most people today talk about Maimonides, Rabelais, Locke, Schiller, Keats, Conan Doyle, and Chekhov because of their literary works, not because they practiced medicine. But the lesser-known individuals are just as interesting in many ways: such people as Cadwallader Colden, the loyalist lieutenant governor of New York during the American Revolution, who wrote the first English history of the Iroquois; Margaret Georgina Todd, author of popular novels in the Victorian era, which promoted the idea of women in medicine; and Rudolph John Chauncey Fisher, who was not only a physician, researcher, and radiologist, but played a role in the Harlem Renaissance as an orator, musician, musical arranger, and literary figure. Concluding with profiles of contemporary doctors who are also respected authors, this diverse collection shows that, despite increasing specialization, medicine and the humanities continue to complement each other to enrich our lives.

Graduate medical education (GME) is a continually evolving, highly dynamic area within the complex fabric of the modern health-care environment. Given the rapidly changing regulatory, financial, scientific and technical aspects of GME, many institutions and programs face daily challenges of "keeping up" with the most recent developments within this ever-more-sophisticated operational environment. Organizational excellence is a requirement for the seamless functioning of GME programs, especially when one consider the multiple disciplines and stakeholders involved. The goal of the current book cycle, titled Contemporary Topics in Graduate Medical Education, beginning with this inaugural tome, is to provide GME professionals with a practical and readily applicable set of reference materials. More than 20 distinguished authors from some of the top teaching institutions in the US, touch upon some of the most relevant, contemporary, and at times controversial topics, including provider burnout, gender equality issues, trainee wellness, scholarly activities and requirements, and many other theoretical and practical considerations. We hope that the reader will find this book to be a valuable and high quality resource of a broad range of GME-related topics. It is the Editors' goal to create a multi-tome platform that will become the definitive go-to reference for professionals navigating the complex landscape of modern graduate medical education.

It encourages reflection on one's goals, recognizing the fleeting nature of fame and external validation. Finding meaning through service to patients and society is presented as more rewarding than personal glory.

The text stresses the need to act with justice, truthfulness and integrity, avoiding hypocrisy and self-centeredness. It advocates introspection and self-mastery as ways to handle stress and gain emotional resilience. Overall, the book adapts Marcus Aurelius' Stoic philosophy to offer timeless wisdom and principles for finding fulfillment, growth and balance in medical practice.

The legendary Encyclopedia of Medicine is a dizzying collection of maladies: an amnesia that causes everyone you've ever met to forget you exist, while you remain perfectly, painfully aware of your history. A wound that grows with each dark thought or evil deed you commit but shrinks with every act of kindness. A disease that causes your body to imitate death, stopping your heart, cooling your blood. Will the fit pass before they bury you--or after? The Afflictions is a magical compendium of pseudo-diseases, an encyclopedia of archaic medicine written by a contemporary physician and scientist. Little by little, these bizarre and mystical afflictions frame an eternal struggle: between human desire and the limits of bodily existence. First published in English in the United States, The Afflictions has since been published in Argentina, Italy, and India. This second U.S. edition features the original illustrations created by Pia Valentinis for the Italian language edition.
