Drawing on his work as a primary care physician and a behavioral scientist, Michael Stein artfully examines the often conflicting goals of patients and their doctors. In those differences, Stein recognizes that kindness should not be a patient's forbidden or unrealistic expectation. This book leaves us with new knowledge of and insights into what we might hope for, and what might go wrong, or right, in the most intimate clinical moments.

Lindsey Fitzharris' Buch "Der Horror der frühen Medizin" war ein internationaler Erfolg, wurde in 15 Sprachen übersetzt und stand 19 Wochen lang auf der SPIEGEL-Bestsellerliste. Mit ihrem neuen Hörbuch entführt uns die Autorin zu den grausigen Anfänge der Schönheitschirurgie: Als Harold Gillies die Verheerungen des Ersten Weltkriegs mit eigenen Augen sieht, ist er schockiert. Zu viele junge Männer werden nach nur einem falschen Augenblick ihrem Schicksal überlassen: für immer entstellt, für immer Monster in den Augen der Gesellschaft.

Story0
From a plague in Athens during the Peloponnesian War in 430 BCE, to another in 540 that wiped out half the population of the Roman empire, down through the Black Death in the Middle Ages and on through the 1918 flu epidemic (which killed between 50 and 100 million people) and this century's deadly SARS outbreak, plagues have been a much more relentless fact of life than many realize. The legacy of epidemics, Brian Michael Jenkins observes, is not only one of lives lost but of devastated economies and social disorder, all of which have severe political repercussions.

La letra de médico tiene fama de ser algo que no se entiende, pero este audiolibro es todo lo contrario. Carlos Presman escribió una memoria profesional amena, fascinante, que estaba faltando. Así lo demuestran más de veinte ediciones y veinte mil ejemplares vendidos. La edición completa de esta obra se divide en "Historias personales", "Cuentos clínicos" e "Historias a su salud". Con relatos breves y muy buena pluma, Presman nos pasea por los desafíos de la relación médico-paciente.

Puede ser la de un investigador excéntrico que resultó ser un genio, un momento decisivo en la historia geopolítica, un nuevo avance tecnológico o un inesperado pero afortunado efecto secundario descubierto en un ensayo clínico. A través de datos curiosos, anécdotas poco conocidas y personajes un tanto extravagantes, Thomas Hager propone un recorrido por las diez drogas más significativas de la historia a la vez que muestra la evolución de nuestra cultura y práctica de la medicina.

Munken Gherardo var sidst i 1348 helt alene tilbage i det kloster i Sydfrankrig, som han året før havde delt med sin prior og 34 ordensbrødre. Som i langt de fleste klostre efterlevede munkene nemlig reglen om at tage sig af syge og døende. De var derfor særlig sårbare over for den smitsomme pest, der i 1347 kom til Europa om bord på italienske handelsskibe. Lige før pesten ramte, havde Europa en befolkning på omkring 75 millioner. Fem år efter var tallet 40 millioner.

One hundred years after a milestone medical discovery, Insulin: The Crooked Timber tells the story of how insulin was transformed from what one clinician called "thick brown muck" into the very first drug to be produced using genetic engineering, one which would earn the founders of the US biotech company Genentech a small fortune. Taking the listener on a fascinating journey, starting with the discovery of insulin in the 1920s through to the present day, the book reveals a story of monstrous egos, toxic career rivalries, and a few unsung heroes.
