Weight Bias in Health Education
Weight stigma is so pervasive in our culture that it is often unnoticed, along with the harm that it causes. Health care is rife with anti-fat bias and discrimination against fat people, which compromises care and influences the training of new practitioners.
Notes On... Caring
NOTES ON... CARING Discover the connection between care and healing with this transformative book Care is often regarded as fundamental to the nursing profession, almost synonymous. The relationship between care and nursing is presented as though no further explanation is required, no theorisation of what it means to care, and no elaboration of the role played by care in nursing as a profession and a practice. Given the agreed-upon centrality of care to nursing, there is an urgent need for a work analysing this key relationship and what it can mean for nursing professionals. Notes On... Caring meets this need with a clear, concise discussion of caring in the healthcare context. Beginning from the premise that care is essential to fostering the health and healing of others, it sets out to clarify the subject and articulate an ethic of care that can be cultivated in nursing and medical practice. With the COVID-19 pandemic placing nursing care more than ever at the forefront of public health, there has never been a better time to understand what it means for nurses to care. This book is ideal for all nurses, midwives, and other medical professionals or students.
Learning to Play God
Do you know what your doctor really thinks or how your doctor really feels about medicine and about you? The seeds lie in the critical first few years of a medical education, and Dr. Robert Marion, director of the Center for Congenital Disorders at the Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, draws from his own experiences as student, intern, and resident to provide some surprising -- and sobering -- answers. In the course of twenty gripping, illuminating, and extraordinarily candid stories, Dr. Marion reveals the dehumanizing, slightly insane, and often brutal process of medical training. You will experience not only the intense pressure and chronic exhaustion of the doctor-to-be, but also the price the patient must often pay. While each story stands alone as an adventure in medicine, taken together they are a call to change. With profound eloquence and compassion, Dr. Marion explores ways in which to assure that humanity and idealism survive the grueling and destructive path to technical competency.
Belly Dancing and Beating the Odds
When 32-year-old Yvette Cowles contracted breast cancer she was determined it would not get in the way of her belly dancing dreams. Spirited and light-hearted, "Belly Dancing and Beating the Odds" is the true story of one woman's quest to be the best breastless belly dancer in the business... Whilst most people see little to smile about when they hear the word "cancer", for Yvette it was just another opportunity to find the silver lining. From realising the positives in a breast-free existence (think Audrey Hepburn physique and the uses of aero-dynamism when sales shopping), transforming her hospital cubicle into a sequinned boudoir and entertaining the nurses with her inflatable male companion, Yvette is determined not to let it get her down. Told with warmth and lively good humour, Yvette's short story will move and inspire you - and might even persuade you to dig out your dancing shoes. www.harpertrue.co.uk

Digital Media and Participatory Cultures of Health and Illness
This book explores how the complex scenario of platforms, practices and content in the contemporary digital landscape is shaping participatory cultures of health and illness. The everyday use of digital and social media platforms has major implications for the production, seeking and sharing of health information, and raises important questions about health peer support, power relations, trust, privacy and knowledge. To address these questions, this book navigates contemporary forms of participation that develop through mundane digital practices, like tweeting about the latest pandemic news or keeping track of our daily runs with Fitbit or Strava. In doing so, it explores both radical activist practices and more ordinary forms of participation that can gradually lead to social and/or cultural changes in how we understand and experience health and illness. While drawing upon digital media studies and the sociology of health and illness, this book offers theoretical and methodological insights from a decade of empirical research of health-related digital practices that span from digital health advocacy to illness-focused social media uses. Accessible and engaging, this book is ideal for scholars and students interested in digital media, digital activism, health advocacy and digital health.

God Whispered, "I've Got This."
God Whispered "I've Got This" is a documentary of my real-life faith journey, where I tell my story as a caregiver. I share personal struggles when, at times, our lives were hanging on by a thread. Each time we thought we had risen to meet the challenge, we faced a new health battle just around the corner.I speak to the many emotions I experienced as a caregiver while watching my loved one heroically fight each battle with determination and relentless gratitude. He always focused on the positive side of things, and although they were hard to find in many instances, he never stopped looking. Sometimes I struggled and doubted, but in my darkest hours, I gently heard God whisper, "I've got this." I describe my personal faith journey, sharing both the good and bad days. But thankfully, God sustained me throughout each and every struggle. He gave me my gift of caregiving and brought me through the valleys to the mountain top where He revealed the beauty and absolute peace of the final sunset.

Disease Eradication in the 21st Century
Experts explore the biological, social, and economic complexities of eradicating disease. Disease eradication represents the ultimate in global equity and the definitive outcome of good public health practice. Thirty years ago, the elimination of smallpox defined disease eradication as a monumental global achievement with lasting benefits for society. Today, the global commitment to eradicate polio and guinea worm and heightened interest in the potential eradication of other infectious diseases, including measles/rubella, lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, and malaria, dominate public health concerns. But what does it take to eradicate a disease? This book takes a fresh look at the evolving concepts of disease eradication, influenced by scientific advances, field experience, societal issues, and economic realities. A diverse group of experts from around the world, representing a range of disciplines, examines the biological, social, political, and economic complexities of eradicating a disease. The book details lessons learned from the initiatives against polio, measles/rubella, and onchocerciasis. Further chapters examine ethical issues, the investment case, governance models, organizational and institutional arrangements, political and social factors, feasibility of eradication goals, priority setting, and the integration of disease eradication programs with existing health systems.

Beyond the Walls
The American healthcare system is failing us. It is a frustratingly complex, opaque, and unaffordable system that results in suboptimal care and a deterioration of the welfare of the majority of American families. The experience of the past few decades and the recent ravaging pandemic has shown us that doing more of the same is not going to deliver us from this dilemma. But there is hope. There is a way to create a more accessible, consumer-friendly, safer, and affordable system of care for all of us.In Beyond the Walls, Dr. Neuwirth, a physician, healthcare executive, and innovator distills, in understandable language, the learnings from years of in-depth research into the megatrends and market disruptors that are shaping the present and immediate future of American healthcare. Through the stories of those behind the movement, he uncovers the forces that are driving better health outcomes, more personalized care, greater equity, and lower costs.Unlike many other books in this genre, the focus is on what's right in American healthcare rather than on what's wrong. It is practical, actionable and rooted in a realistic understanding of the industry's challenges and opportunities. It's an inspiring and instructive read on the courageous leaders that are dismantling the barriers to innovation in healthcare delivery.This book reads like a collection of heroic journeys. These stories encourage and embolden us not to be held hostage by the mindset, behaviors, and inertia of the past. They are intended to ignite the creativity, integrity, and courage of more leaders to go beyond the walls and leverage their own potential to contribute to a more humane future for American healthcare. This is a "must-read" for anyone who wants better healthcare and better health.
