An Irish Country Welcome
An Irish Country Welcome is a charming entry in Patrick Taylor's internationally bestselling Irish Country series. In the close-knit Northern Irish village of Ballybucklebo, it's said that a new baby brings its own welcome. Young doctor Barry Laverty and his wife Sue are anxiously awaiting their first child, but as the community itself prepares to welcome a new decade, the closing months of the 1960s bring more than a televised moon landing to Barry, his friends, his neighbors, and his patients, including a number of sticky questions. A fledgling doctor joins the practice as a trainee, but will the very upper-class Sebastian Carson be a good fit for the rough and tumble of Irish country life? And as sectarian tensions rise elsewhere in Ulster, can a Protestant man marry the Catholic woman he dearly loves, despite his father's opposition? And who exactly is going to win the award for the best dandelion wine at this year's Harvest Festival? But while Barry and Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly and their fellow physicians deal with everything from brain surgery to a tractor accident to a difficult pregnancy, there's still time to share the comforting joys and pleasures of this very special place: fly-fishing, boat races, and even the town's very first talent competition! Welcome back to Ballybucklebo, as vividly brought to life by a master storyteller.

Don’t Blame the Rats
Don't Blame the Rats is based on the life of Dr. Anthony Paul Sterling. Part true and part fiction, the author's story represents a compilation of his vivid imagination, gift of language, and desire to stir the inspiration of those who read his short stories and other explorations.He says, "The characters are mine and mine alone. The child is my granddaughter. I wanted her to be recognized in my writings."His book covers his life in New York City from 1955 to the present day, as well as his experiences in Vietnam.As for the rats: "On the outside Detective Adam was smiling but on the inside, he was down: he knew some facts that were very disheartening: all female and male prostitutes in New York City were HIV positive; few people could afford treatment; many of these people left the city and traveled over many states and foreign countries. He also knew that a single female rat can deliver 15,000 babies in litters in a single year, which meant billions world-wide. Imagine AIDS being carried and spread everywhere on the globe! He notified his superiors, then called the ASPCA, CDC, Board of Health and friends at Columbia University. The bottom line was: we need animals for testing and treatment." About the Author: Anthony Paul Sterling, M.D., Ph.D., says he "was born in a ghetto in New York City. I studied hard and became an orthopedic surgeon." Now retired and living in Florida, he was inspired to write this book by his granddaughter (because of the way she speaks to animals). Besides writing, he is an aficionado of competitive martial arts.

Breathing Liquid
What if you were offered your dream job but only temporarily? What if there were no clear path for afterwards? Would you take the leap? Breathing Liquid is based on the true events that led to Dr. Jay Greenspan being faced with this very situation. Throughout his career, Jay never worried about having a clear plan, and while many of his decisions became successes, he also suffered setbacks that would have left others afraid to step out of their comfort zones. Despite the devastating loss of pediatric patients, missed promotions, personal complications, and peer criticism, he remained positive, kind-hearted, and mission focused. These experiences helped prepare him for his dream job but none more so than the Standards of Behavior he learned from his mentor, Mark. Breathing Liquid follows Jay as he is shown how to define the innate traits that have brought him success and establish proven behaviors that allow him to keep saying yes when others say no.
Match
What do politics, living donor kidney transplants, and the current opioid crisis all have in common? Sarah Golden and Jackie Larsen, best friends since nursing school, could never have imagined that they'd end up as amateur sleuths searching to find a killer--for the second time! Jackie, a stay-at-home mom with marriage troubles, is racing the clock to get her young son, Wyatt, a living kidney donor to avoid the ravages of dialysis. Sarah, who has been living her career in the fast-paced world of organ transplantation, is helping expedite Wyatt's kidney transplant. Then a much-despised hospital colleague turns up dead of an opiate overdose--despite the fact that she'd never used drugs--and Sarah smells foul play. Her curiosity and tenacity pull Jackie, once again, into a life-and-death adventure that neither woman could have expected. Armed with smarts, tenacity, big hearts, and their raucous senses of humor, the pair gets the help of a few colorful friends to pursue the killer and take on the mission in the only style they both know how: straight on and arm-in-arm as the friends they've always been.
Round the Red Lamp
Round the Red Lamp. Being Facts and Fancies of Medical Life (Arthur Conan Doyle)Round the Red Lamp. Being Facts and Fancies of Medical Life is a volume collecting 15 short stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle. These are medical and fantasy stories. The idea has been suggested to Conan Doyle by Jerome K. Jerome two years before when he was editor of The Idler. The red lamp was the usual sign of the general practitioner in England wrote Conan Doyle in the preface.Preface[Being an extract from a long and animated correspondence with a friend in America.]I quite recognise the force of your objection that an invalid or a woman in weak health would get no good from stories which attempt to treat some features of medical life with a certain amount of realism. If you deal with this life at all, however, and if you are anxious to make your doctors something more than marionettes, it is quite essential that you should paint the darker side, since it is that which is principally presented to the surgeon or physician. He sees many beautiful things, it is true, fortitude and heroism, love and self-sacrifice but they are all called forth (as our nobler qualities are always called forth) by bitter sorrow and trial. One cannot write of medical life and be merry over it.Then why write of it, you may ask?If a subject is painful why treat it at all? I answer that it is the province of fiction to treat painful things as well as cheerful ones. The story which wiles away a weary hour fulfils an obviously good purpose, but not more so, I hold, than that which helps to emphasise the graver side of life. A tale which may startle the reader out of his usual grooves of thought, and shocks him into seriousness, plays the part of the alterative and tonic in medicine, bitter to the taste but bracing in the result. There are a few stories in this little collection which might have such an effect, and I have so far shared in your feeling that I have reserved them from serial publication. In book-form the reader can see that they are medical stories, and can, if he or she be so minded, avoid them. - Yours very truly, A. CONAN DOYLE.P.S. - You ask about the Red Lamp. It is the usual sign of the general practitioner in England.
Presumed Consent
Organ procurement is a world-wide concern. There exist insufficient donors, and thousands who could be saved are dying daily. One potential solution is "presumed consent," which stipulates that upon death, the deceased is presumed to have given consent to have his viable organs donated to a person in need. A provocative and relevant topic cloaked within an adventure, Presumed Consent leads investment advisor Jon Levine, physician Alyssa Martin, and FBI agent Matthew Johnson to become ensnared in a series of adventures which embroil them in the issue. The three travel first to a Chilean offshore island where a reclusive American-trained transplantologist operates, then to several dialysis centers in Florida, and finally to an obscure transplant hospital in Bolivia. Unexpectedly, Levine and Johnson are offered the opportunity to play golf with the President, as a result of which both are appointed Presidential Advisors.
