  Writing to Heal

  Anthony Fleg

  “Disease loves stagnation. Healing requires movement and flow. When I reflect on what Anthony Fleg has taught me, flow and connection ring true. He is an artist in connecting people through his kind heart, infectious positive spirit and beautiful reflections. And through this connection, flow happens.

  The writings in this book are a beautiful example of connecting to the authentic truth that is all around us, even when it is difficult to see during COVID times. It encourages us to pick up a journal and use our own experiences to write, inviting new life into the world.”

  White Hot Light: Twenty-Five Years in Emergency Medicine

  Frank Huyler

  "When Frank Huyler was just starting out in the medical profession in the late 1990s, he published a collection of medical vignettes detailing his encounters in the highly charged world of an emergency room. The Blood of Strangers became an instant classic, praised for Huyler's poetic prose and his ability to probe beneath the surface of his patient encounters-revealing the hard truths of life in the medical field. Now, over twenty years later, Huyler delivers another dispatch from the emergency room trenches, this time from the perspective of the middle of his medical career. With years passed and experience gained, Huyler is able to offer a fuller and more nuanced portrait of what remains an astonishing, affirming, yet increasingly difficult and rapidly changing profession. White Hot Light offers-with narrative power and haunting prose-and unforgettable portrait of a field that illuminates society and its values at its most vulnerable"-- Provided by publisher.

  Dealing with doctors, denial, and death : a guide to living well with serious illness

  Aroop Mangalik

  Often when death is the inevitable and impending outcome of a medical diagnosis, doctors are reluctant to discuss alternatives to treatment, feeding into a culture of denial that can result in expensive, ineffective, and unnecessary over-treatment that may or may not extend life but almost always damages the patient's quality of life. Here, Aroop Mangalik, a seasoned doctor and researcher, looks at the ways in which we are accustomed to treating illness at all costs, even at the expense of the quality of a patient's life. He considers our culture of denial, the medical profession's role in overtreating patients and end-of-life care, and the patient's options and role in these decisions. The goal is to help patients and families make informed decisions that may help the seriously ill live better with their illnesses. This profoundly empowering book will help people make informed decisions about their lives and medical care, especially those who have a life-threatening or life-changing illness themselves or have a family member living with one. Incorporating specific questions for patients to ask their doctors and discuss with their families, Dealing with Doctors, Denial, and Death provides an analysis of the various forces that influence our decision-making. This book also examines the professional, psychological, economic, and social pressures that influence physicians treating seriously ill patients, including those that lead doctors to recommend treatments that may be futile. It concludes with resources that seriously ill patients and their families can call upon to give them support and assist with the logistical, emotional, and spiritual challenges of end-of-life care. -- from dust jacket.

  Therapy for ocular angiogenesis : principles and practice

  Arup Das and Thomas R. Friberg

  "Ocular angiogenesis, or the abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye, is the cause of major neovascular eye diseases. In addition, retinal and choroidal neovascularization are the major causes of vision loss in this country. With the new era of anti-angiogenic therapies already in practice, ophthalmologists have started treating many ocular diseases including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vascular occlusion using anti-angiogenic drugs. This book covers the basic pathophysiology of ocular angiogenesis and strategies for inhibition. The authors discuss the "Principles" of anti-angiogenic therapy, pre-clinical studies, future drugs on the horizon, drug delivery, and the "Practice" of the therapy in many ocular diseases. Vision researchers in both academia and industry, as well as clinician scientists, have contributed chapters on different aspects of the angiogenic process, and clinical strategies to fight it. The book also includes chapters that deal with diabetic macular edema, and various therapeutic options for this condition. A companion website includes the fully searchable text and an image bank"--Provided by publisher.
