Rescuing the Doctor-Patient Relationship
Healthcare in America is ill. Moreover, the bill for this illness is rising and America cannot afford the price! What worsens the situation is error in diagnosis of what is the illness. Attempting to cure without a proper diagnosis, politicians and pundits impose regulations in the name of increasing high value medical care. Forgotten in the discussion are the patient and the doctor caring for that patient. The doctor-patient relationship not only provides the point of medical care but also defines quality of that care. Now economics and regulations are changing that relationship, thus altering the American health system. Saving the American health care system requires restoring centrality of the doctor-patient relationship. To rescue the doctor-patient relationship only occurs by understanding how payment systems, economics, and regulations affect that relationship. This book examines how the doctor-patient relationship has been affected by developments in economics and regulations, then offers solutions to rescue that relationship and restore patient-centric decision-making.

You will find that many of the recommendations in this book are also helpful for other pain related disorders including work and sports injuries. 10 big ideas in this book:1. The mechanism of acute pain is not same as the mechanism of chronic pain.2. Tissue damage typically heals in a particular time-frame. Give it time.3. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.4. Pain really is in the mind, but not in the way you think.5. Pain does not depend on what is happening in the tissues. Pain depends on what the brain thinks is happening in the tissues.6. Patients with musculoskeletal pain and people without musculoskeletal pain often have similar findings on MRI.7. If you hurt your back and get an early MRI, you've reduced your chances of getting better.8. If you think that you will get better, you are halfway to recovery.9. Taking responsibility of your personal health and happiness is not just your duty, but it's your obligation.10. Focus on getting healthy and being happy (flourishing), not the pain.I hope that you find this guide useful in your path to help.

The Dark Side
Andy Thompson's true-to-life, graphic and gripping account of his work as an NHS paramedic in Britain's A&E emergency Ambulance Service will shock you, sadden you, entertain you, and perhaps inspire you. You'll smile at some of Andy's real patient encounters, while others will cause you to wipe a tear. Using official NHS documentation recorded at the time to give precise details of each incident, Andy has held firm to the real-life accounts, even in keeping the dialogue as close as his memory allows to what was really said at the time. It's as if you're there next to him, struggling with the effects of adrenaline and fighting to save life. This is a rare work of medical non-fiction delivered in a way that is factual, informative, but at the same time naturally entertaining and moving, written with candour and humour. And if you have ever thought what it takes to become a paramedic - or any other of the specialist vocations - and that you could never achieve it yourself, Andy's inspiring story of how he went from postman to frontline healthcare professional, fulfilling his dream, will make you think again that anything is possible if you have the desire. Andy says there are no heroics in the book and that he simply did his job, but we are sure The Dark Side will leave you convinced there are true heroes on our streets right here, right now. Saving lives every day, every night and often against all the odds. It might even change your whole perspective on life.
The Dark Side Part 2
Following up on his well-received first book, Andy Thompson provides another captivating, thought-provoking and at times intense glimpse into the daily life of a Paramedic working in the UK's National Health Service. In the style of his first book, Andy recalls each event from the detailed documentation recorded at the time, each account written in a way that puts the reader right there next to him so that you live the events in realtime, hear the dialogue between paramedics, patient, their loved ones and other healthcare professionals as it would have been, and share in Andy's thought processes during each of the ten very different situations he encounters. The term 'The Dark Side' describes the frontline emergency aspect of the Ambulance Service, since paramedics frequently experience sombre situations. In 'The Dark Side, Part 2' you will share in some truly traumatic, tragic and tearful events involving a seemingly vibrant, healthy young patient, a prison inmate, the victims of an horrific car crash, heart attacks, a frightening epileptic fit, the alarming effects of an allergic reaction, and what can happen when under-strain doctors prescribe the wrong medication. But there's still room for lighthearted moments and a taste of the sometimes dark humour that allows paramedics to continually deal with events most of us would find too horrific. The detail in the descriptions of the care given to each patient on-scene by Andy and his colleagues will have you marvelling at the ability of these healthcare professionals to work at such speed of thought, buying enough time to deliver a patient into the specialist hands of hospital care and often full recovery. Of course there are inevitably also those times when tears of hope turn to tears of despair for loved ones. You cannot feel that pain until it happens to you, but this book will bring you mighty close to it at times.

A Guide to the Formulation of Plans and Goals in Occupational Therapy
This practical guide for occupational therapists introduces a tried and tested method for moving from assessment to intervention, by formulating plans and measurable goals using the influential Model of Human occupation (MOHO).
And a Seed was Planted ...’ Occupation based approaches for social inclusion
Occupational therapy originated in social reform, but early in its history became allied with medicine, a biomedical perspective and a focus on individual health. Over the last two decades the profession has recognised the value of the work of its pioneers and argued for principles such as occupational justice and the right to health-promoting occupations, social inclusion, and for forms of involvement based in the community which centre around people doings things together for social change. In 'And a seed was planted...' Occupation based approaches for social inclusion the Editors have set out to show how these ideas are being put into practice internationally.Contributors to the book come from across the world, including Europe, North and South America, India and Nepal, Southeast Asia, Japan, Africa and Australasia. Most chapters are written by multiple authors from different positions and perspectives. They report a range of innovative practices for social inclusion based around themes including: Creating inclusive and sustainable communitiesSocial inclusion through occupation with refugeesSocial enterprise and occupational therapyThe transformative potential of urban gardeningEnabling citizen-researcher participationSocial participation of older personsFormal and informal learning for social inclusion Theoretical views and shifting perspectives is the first volume of the three part set. Contributors draw on ideas such as critical theories and citizenship which until recently have been unfamiliar territory for occupational therapists, as well as exploring perspectives of practice from the global South, the viewpoints of service users, and expanding institutional and community practices. Critical Studies in Occupational Therapy and Occupational ScienceThis book set is the second in the series. The first was Meaningful Living through Occupation: A guide to every-day life by Moses N. Ikiugu and Nick Pollard.

AVD - The Anti-Viral Diet
Essential Reading for Everyone who wants to Learn about the Potential of Dietary Ingredients to Protect Us from Viruses and Viral Illnesses - including Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Academic author Edouard d'Araille ('Adapa's Ascent', 'The Life of Thought', 'In the Temple of Dreams') here presents his proposal for an 'Anti-Viral Diet', which he describes as "a diet whose primary purpose is to counteract viral threats and to maximize the ability of our immune systems to fight off both viruses and viral diseases". Based upon findings from over fifty years of scientific research into the effects of certain naturally occurring chemicals on viruses and the human immune system, 'AVD' identifies 52 ingredients that might play an effective role in an 'Anti-Viral Diet'. In some cases, the ingredients proposed appear to have a direct effect on viruses; while in other instances, research indicates that they enhance the responses of our immune systems - which is also likely to provide us with better protection from viruses. This is the 'COVID-19 Edition' of AVD, therefore an extra focus of attention is committed to drawing from the results of recent research into natural compounds which have shown most promise in counteracting the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and in some cases potentially aiding treatment of COVID-19 itself. 'AVD' is divided into three stages that progressively present information about natural anti-viral agents and how they might best serve us in a diet: Part 1 discusses the impact of Coronaviruses and shares the views of numerous scientists in regard to the usage of natural chemicals in order to develop treatment options and protect against these and other viruses. Part 2 provides some core knowledge about the anti-viral and immuno-modulatory properties of fifty-two natural ingredients - all found in or as food - in each case indicating which viruses they have been shown to act against or how the immune system is enhanced by them. Exclusive online research dossiers are web-linked to each of these chapters, which altogether contain over 1000 links to experiments, studies, reviews, trials, analyses and other research papers - evidence that goes to support the inclusion of each component. Finally, Part 3 explains in outline the idea of a preliminary 'Anti-Viral Diet' with which to incorporate some of the ingredients from Part 2 into one's own daily dietary intake. The current edition of 'AVD' includes 104 Colour Photographs and over 120 Scientific References within the volume itself. - 'AVD' is Volume 1 of the new 'HEALTH' Series from The Academy of the Third Millennium(TM) (A3M) and LIVING TIME(TM) Books. The 'Academy Edition' of this work is available separately. ['AVD: The Anti-Viral Diet' Copyright (c) 2020 Edouard d'Araille.

Principles and Applications of Up-Converting Phosphor Technology
This book presents an overview of up-converting phosphor (UCP), including UCP preparation, development of the rapid detection strips and UCP industrialization. It also discusses the wide clinical applications of this technology, such as in food poisoning, infectious diseases, drug-abuse and disaster rescue, where rapid point-of-care testing is often critical. Conventional testing methods are mainly based on gold immunochromatography, which relies heavily on results being read with the naked eye. However, up-converting phosphor technology (UPT) employs UCP particles as labels for rapid target detection. Unlike other conventional fluorescence techniques, UCP is excited by infrared light and emitted visible light. This anti-stokes phenomenon provides this special label with significant advantages, including zero background detection, high resistance to environmental influences (e.g. pH, salts, sample contamination), high sensitivity and quantitative detection.Systematically summarizing UCP technology and its wide applications, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and technicians in the field.
