Mange års frustrationer over den udvikling det offentlige sundhedsvæsen har gennemgået, blev fundamentet for overlæge i ortopædkirurgi, Steffen Jacobsens erindringsbog “Hvis De lige vil sidde helt stille, frue, dr. Jacobsen er ny på afdelingen”. Gennem selvoplevede anekdoter serverer overlægen et morsomt og til tider tragikomisk indblik i et sundhedsvæsen, der beskæftiger sig mere med regneark end med dets patienter.Det er tydeligt at mærke, at Steffen Jacobsen er en erfaren samfundsdebattør, og den debatterende forfatter og erfarne læge lægger ikke fingre imellem, når han leverer sin knivskarpe analyse af de danske sygehuse. Bogen er ikke bare god underholdning, den er fyldt med tankevækkende beretninger om et system, vi selv er med til at fastholde, og den kan klassificeres som vaskeægte samfundssatire.
Jane McLelland blev hårdt ramt af livmoderhalskræft og herefter af spredning til lungekræft stadie 4. Hun gennemgik adskillige konventionelle tilbud, men først da hun satte sig ind i kroppens evne til at bekæmpe kræft og fandt ud og gik i gang med en udsultnings diæt bestående af kosttilskud og en række ældre medicintyper lykkede det hende at blive kræftfri. Hun beretter om den modstand hun mødte fra det officielle sundhedsvæsen, som i stedet for at hjælpe hende modarbejdede hende. Men 15 år efter den første kræftdiagnose, er hun stadig her stadigvæk. Bogen fortæller og beskriver teoretisk, hvordan og hvad man selv skal gøre, hvis man vil tage sagen i egen hånd. Det gælderom at stoppe mulighederne for, at kræftcellerne kan overleve i kroppen. Der er vejledninger i, hvordan man kan bruge hendes metoder. Hun bruger både konventionelle og komplementære tiltag. Specielt inddrager hun kombinationer af medicin, der allerede er opfundet og godkendt til en anden sygdom. De kaldes Repurposed Drugs/ off label (genanvendt medicin) og undersøgelser har godtgjort, at de har kræfthæmmende virkning. Så de burde inddrages i kampen mod en kræftsygdom.
Heidi Honig Springs liv ændrer sig på et splitsekund, da hun på en løbetur bliver kørt ned af en højresvingsbilist. Hun overlever mirakuløst, og kæmper sig tilbage til livet i løbet af et langt hospitalsophold. Fortællinger fra stue 62 er Heidis hudløst ærlige, hjerteskærende og galgenhumoristiske beretning om at være patient i det danske hospitalsvæsen. Der er både stor taknemmelighed og inderlig ros, men også kritik – fx, når man som patient oplever at blive trængt i baggrunden af ressourcer, kultur og organisering, og når relationskompetencen hos de professionelle til tider lader noget tilbage at ønske. Bogen giver også læseren et billede af, hvad det vil sige at miste sit liv og sin værdighed – og alligevel kæmpe for at leve og finde håb i en håbløs situation. Der er noget at lære for os alle – sundhedspersonale, patienter, pårørende og alle andre, der interesserer sig for det enkelte menneskes erfaringer med identitetstab, sorg, krise og veje til bedring.
A moving, evocative account of a rural GP in a remote rural location.
NY DANSK LÆREBOGINTENSIVTERAPIBogen giver en evidensbaseret, praktisk anvendelig og sammenhængende indføring i observation, diagnostik, behandling og pleje af patienter i alle aldersgrupper med potentielt reversible svigt af et eller flere vitale organsystemer.Over 55 kapitler dækker bogen bredt det komplekse arbejdsfelt, og indholdet er organiseret efter fem temaer:DEL 1: Organisation, indlæggelse og kommunikationDEL 2: Vurdering og understøttende behandlingDEL 3: Tilstande på intensivafdelingDEL 4: Palliation, organdonation og følger efter intensivterapiDEL 5: Sygepleje og genoptræningBogen henvender sig primært til læger under speciallægeuddannelse i anæstesiologi, men læger fra andre specialer med interesse for intensivterapi, speciallæger på intensiv og anæstesiologiske afdelinger samt sygeplejersker under specialuddannelse i intensivsygepleje vil også finde indholdet relevant.

Det er ikke altid nemt at kommunikere med en patient, heller ikke for erfarne praktiserende læger. Som læge skal du ikke blot have blik for patienten som menneske, men også være bevidst om hvordan din egen position som læge og sundhedsprofessionel påvirker og former patient-mødet. Som medicinstuderende og nyuddannet læge kan det første patientmøde være omgærdet af tvivl og usikkerhed. Derfor har vi skrevet denne bog som en guide og håndsrækning til dig.Bogen er bygget op omkring seks kapitler, som centrerer sig om både patienten, lægens roller samt om det sundhedsvæsen, som danner rammerne for læge-patientkontakten. Du vil blive præsenteret for forskellige perspektiver på etik, den svære patientsamtale, samarbejde på tværs af sundhedsvæsenet, pårørendeinddragelse mv. Bogen indeholder også bredere, samfundsrelevante perspektiver på digitalisering, sundhedsadfærd, udbrændthed, sundhedssystemets struktur mv. Den indeholder både historiske oprids, teoretiske begreber og praktiske redskaber.
Louise Hansen er bogens praktiserende læge, hun har mange patienter, men ikke tid nok.Danskerne er efterhånden gode til at blive gamle, high five, men det øger presset på sundhedsvæsenet. Derfor skal vi blive bedre til at udnytte teknologi til at løfte opgaver fra lægen over på patienten selv.Hvad hvis vi bad fremtidens patient om selv at undersøge sin urin for bakterier, pode for halsbetændelse, måle blodtryk, hjerterytme og iltning af blodet? Ville det betyde dårligere behandling? Nej, tværtimod.Smartphones, apps, puls-ure og kunstig intelligens er fremtidens nyttige værktøjer i lægetasken – og de kan forbedre behandlingen, befolkningssundheden og lægens arbejdsvilkår. De to læger Andreas Pihl og Michael Hejmadi giver et underholdende kig ind i den almene lægepraksis, hvor både sundhedsvæsenet og den praktiserende læge er sat skakmat af dumme systemer og forældede organisationer.

"This haunting and propulsive debut follows a journalist's years-long investigation into his father's old classmate: former high school valedictorian Paul Volkman, who once seemed destined for greatness after earning his MD and his PhD from the prestigious University of Chicago, but is now serving four consecutive life sentences at a federal prison in Arizona. Volkman was the central figure in a massive "pill mill" scheme in southern Ohio. His pain clinics accepted only cash, employed armed guards, and dispensed a torrent of opioid painkillers and other controlled substances. For nearly three years, Volkman remained in business despite raids by law enforcement and complaints from patients' family members. Prosecutors would ultimately link him to the overdose deaths of 13 patients, though investigators explored his ties to at least 20 other deaths. This book is based on 12 years of correspondence and interviews with Volkman."--Provided by publisher.

The clinician-patient relationship is an unapologetic reminder that clinical practice is an applied science, and that clinical knowledge only becomes useful through human interaction and application. Through dialog, the relationship serves as a powerful conduit for information flow. This text, utilizing stories of successes and failures I have journaled over 44-years practicing medicine, argues that there is hidden knowledge important to patient care beyond technology's reach that can only be gained through mutual trust, rapport and the right questions asked. But there are many external factors that constrain and strain the clinician-patient relationship. Institutional and cultural restrictions foisted upon medical practice are laden with bureaucratic, political, and economic demands which impinge upon time spent with the patient. Correcting the situation is challenging because many of the causative factors are of a societal nature and not within one individual's influence. But nurturing the clinician-patient relationship and harvesting information from patients' stories that may explain conflict, impasse, resistance to plan of care and lifestyle changes is well within our scope and is in fact necessary for good care. As such, it is the clinician's job to develop skills for impasse resolution and interview techniques to explore the personal, family and cultural relational dynamics and nuances of meaning, lying within the illness narrative. While physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and others are well-trained to take inventory of the body's biological systems, practitioners often lack the skill set to ask "the right questions" for exploring psychosocial systems, and therein lies the pedagogic vacuum to be filled. It is the purpose of this text to introduce a meaning-based problem-solving approach, The Circle of Change, as a pragmatic map and compass for gathering and processing patients' narratives to uncover meaning and care for
