Surprised by Nothing
Kathryn Kyker used to faint at the sight of blood. But after three decades as an ER social worker, blood no longer fazed her-and neither did anything else.Kathryn took her job at a regional Georgia hospital because she was desperate for health insurance. Although she found the work meaningful and became the hospital's first ER social work manager, the high-stakes environment left her unable to cry, hypervigilant about safety, and detached from family and friends.With her inner emotional landscape sabotaged, Kathryn set out on a quest to regain her relationship with curiosity, joy, and the bonds that make us human. The result is a reflective interrogation of the US health care system, a meditation on social work, and a thoughtful inquiry into the emotional responsibilities we have to ourselves-and one another.Full of compassion and humorous insight, Surprised by Nothing is a compelling reminder of how to live a creative and nurturing life, even in the face of the world's random, devastating hardships.A portion of this book's proceeds will be donated to Project HOPE, which supports health care workers and improves access to care around the world.

Multidimensional Diabetes A 360簞 Approach to Understanding & Treatment
Diabetes mellitus, often referred to simply as diabetes, is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. It is a complex, multifactorial condition that impacts various organs and systems. As the global prevalence of diabetes continues to rise dramatically, it has become a significant public health issue affecting millions. The disease is not only associated with serious complications-such as cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, and blindness-but also imposes emotional, financial, and societal burdens.The history of diabetes dates back to ancient times, with early mentions in Egyptian papyri and Hindu scriptures. The term "diabetes" was coined by the Greek physician Aretaeus in the 2nd century, and it was not until the 20th century that insulin was discovered and revolutionized diabetes treatment. Today, diabetes is a leading cause of death and disability. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), as of 2024, over 530 million people globally are affected, with projections indicating a rise to 640 million by 2030. India alone harbors more than 100 million diabetics.
