My contribution will be the image I created while thinking about what the book should look like--the inner square was co-created with another person. This book can be summarized with three words: *corruption* killed health; *transparency* can heal us; and only we, the *patients* (or ...             Bls for Healthcare Providers2 reviews American Heart Association, 2006 I may buy several for my sisters and mother, not in the medical field. I am keeping this one for myself. Such a great informative book. I will be getting another as a gift for my aging mother.

Many of the entries are by leading practitioners, researchers, and theorists in the field. Unless you have read through and studied this book, you simply are not educated in this topic.             Dr. Bob's Guide to Stop ADHD in 18 Days43 reviews Robert DeMaria Drugless Healthcare Solutions, 2005 Dr. Bob's advice: dead on. When I first saw this book I thought... "18 days? Yeah, right." But I thought I didn't have anything to lose but a few dollars so I got it. We had tried all kinds of diets, vitamins, meds. Things would get better but not be entirely "back to normal". I read through Dr. Bob's book, took notes, implemented some of the thoughts... I read the entry of one of the readers below that talked about the ...             Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You To Know About2379 reviews Kevin Trudeau Alliance Publishing, 2005 Not for the wimpy mided Kevin Trudeau may well be as much all about the money as he blames the whole world, have crime records, and more. Yet, people still have to listen to him. Most people in America are very negligent about their obesity and diet despite the epidemics of cancer and more diseases. Everybody has known at least a person with a severe disease, such as diabetes, we all know that the canned and boxed food ...             Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance80 reviews Atul Gawande Picador, 2008 Another Great Look Inside the Medical Profession I thought Atul Gawande's last book, Complications, was one of the best books written on the medical profession in a long while. In it, Gawande showed a deep respect and sympathy for patients while trying to be clear about what would help the medical establishment do a better job from a doctor's point of view. In this book, he covers some of the same ground but, as his title implies, here he is ...             If Disney Ran Your Hospital: 9 1/2 Things You Would Do Differently14 reviews Fred Lee Second River Healthcare, 2004 The Best Book on the Disney Approach...Period "But I'm not in the hospital business." Neither am I. But I am a Disney Institute alumnus and an avid practitioner of the Disney Approach to People Management, Quality Service, and Loyalty; and I've found "If Disney Ran Your Hospital" more helpful than anything else in print. I think you will, too. Here's why. A number of books explain the principles and practices that drive Disney. Most are ...             Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare: A Guide to Best Practice2 reviews Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2004 Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare: A Guide to Best Practice This is an excellent resource for nurses in all clinical settings who are interested in providing evidence-based care... makes the research process user-friendly especially for first-timers.             Healthcare, Guaranteed: A Simple, Secure Solution for America5 reviews Ezekiel Emanuel PublicAffairs, 2008 Healthcare Reform, Understood If the United States hasn't passed the threshold of interest in health care reform, it must be darn close.

Program: Pre-transport / Post-resuscitation Stabilization Care Of Sick Infants: Guidelines ...4 reviews Kristine A. Karlsen S.T.A.R.T Learning Corporation, 2006 Excellent Resource The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program provides an excellent overall view to not only stabilizing infants for transport, but caring for them on an everyday basis. STABLE works as an excellent adjuct to NRP, but is NOT a replacement for NRP. I highly recommend this book for anyone involved in the care of neonates - especially those in rural hospitals who rarely deal with ill neonates. As a nurse in a ...             Mastering Healthcare Terminology, Second Edition3 reviews Betsy J. Shiland Mosby, 2006 good book This was a very informative book.

Covers theory and principles and ethical decision-making in the first several chapters and the major issues in health care in the remaining chapters. The writers don't bog down in discussing these issues as do some current texts in bioethics. Very readable. Does not have cases so if one uses this for instruction a book with a collection of ...             Quantum Leadership: A Resource for Healthcare Innovation, Second Edition1 review Tim Porter-O'Grady, Kathy Malloch Jones & Bartlett Publishers, 2007 fast and 5 star I purchased a used book and the book arrived in 3 working days and to all appearances, brand new             Handbook of Emergency Cardiovascular Care 2008: For Healthcare Providers (AHA Handbook of Emergency ...4 reviews American Heart Association, 2008 Handy for Residency This Handbook contains in synopsis form most of the information included in the basic ACLS course, including all of the main algorithms.

While there are some good books out there, there is NOTHING I've come across that is as complete as this reference book (4th Edition, 2007).

Starts with the alphabet and "mucho gusto", runs through common verbs, conjugation and vocabulary used in a medical setting. ...             Introduction to Health Services5 reviews Stephen J. Williams, Paul R. Torrens Delmar Cengage Learning, 2007 Excellent introductory overview to the US health system.

Nance Second River Healthcare Press, 2008 This book is a tour de force, and no one but John Nance could have written it. He, alone, masters in one mind the fields of aviation, health care safety, medical malpractice law, organizational sociology, media communication, and, as if that were not enough, the art of fine writing. Only he could have made sophisticated, scientifically disciplined instruction about the nature and roots of safety into a page-turner.
