A quest against all odds to change the hidebound American healthcare system, the priceless and hear-earned leadership lessons gained along the way, and a prescription for the future.In Here Be Dragons, Web Golinkin shares his leadership experience in helping to "retailize" the healthcare industry. Today, millions of people benefit from accessible, affordable healthcare at walk-in clinics close to their homes that are open seven days a week, providing high-quality basic healthcare at reasonable prices. In 2020-21, almost everyone in the United States benefited from the access to COVID-19 testing and vaccinations that these clinics provided.But retail clinics did not emerge without a fight, as they faced strong opposition from the medical establishment, overly restrictive government regulations, and skeptical third-party payers, not to mention consumers who were conditioned to believe that quality healthcare could only be delivered in in an office or a hospital on someone else's schedule and without having any idea of its cost.Here Be Dragons is the true story of what happens when you are bold enough to try to effect significant change in a hidebound, multi-trillion-dollar industry. The fact that retail-based and urgent care clinics are now a permanent part of the healthcare landscape is evidence of success, but getting to this point for one of their earliest and leading movers has been a wild and frequently rough ride that challenged all the passion, endurance and street-smarts that Web could muster at every step along the way.

Living with a complex, chronic health condition like type 1 diabetes (T1D) is complicated, expensive, and burdensome. Most people live long, happy, healthy, and satisfying lives with T1D, yet there is a large body of evidence that mental health concerns and behavioral challenges are common, and interfere with self-management, quality of life, and health. At the same time, there are not enough professionals who have knowledge of the complex interplays between diabetes and psychosocial factors to meet the needs of the large and growing population of people with T1D, and their families. To help address this gap, the Type 1 Diabetes Mental Health Workbook was created to provide a concise, practical resource for mental health clinicians and therapists to use in their care of young people with T1D. The workbook is divided into eight sections: Overview of T1DLanguage and communication about T1DChallenges associated with a new T1D diagnosisApproaches to addressing T1D self-management challengesEmotions associated with T1DMood concerns and T1DT1D-related worries and anxietyAdditional considerations

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter who first exposed the roots of the opioid epidemic and the secretive world of the Sackler family behind Purdue Pharma, Pain Killer is the celebrated landmark story of corporate greed and government negligence that inspired an upcoming Netflix series. "Groundbreaking . . . Pain Killer is the shocking account of the origins of today's opioid epidemic, the creators of this plague, and the way to help stop it."-Sam Quinones, author of Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic Between 1999 and 2017, an estimated 250,000 Americans died from overdoses involving prescription painkillers, a plague ignited by Purdue Pharma's aggressive marketing of OxyContin. Families, working class and wealthy, have been torn apart, businesses destroyed, and public officials pushed to the brink. Meanwhile, the drugmaker's owners, Raymond and Mortimer Sackler, whose names adorn museums worldwide, made enormous fortunes from the commercial success of OxyContin. In Pain Killer, Barry Meier tells the story of how Purdue turned OxyContin into a billion-dollar blockbuster. Powerful narcotic painkillers, or opioids, were once used as drugs of last resort for pain sufferers. But Purdue launched an unprecedented marketing campaign claiming that the drug's long-acting formulation made it safer to use than traditional painkillers for many types of pain. That illusion was quickly shattered as drug abusers learned that crushing an Oxy could release its narcotic payload all at once. Even in its prescribed form, Oxy proved fiercely addictive. As OxyContin's use and abuse grew, Purdue concealed what it knew from regulators, doctors, and patients. Here are the people who profited from the crisis and those who paid the price, those who plotted in boardrooms and those who tried to sound alarm bells. A country doctor in rural Virginia, Art Van Zee, took on Purdue and warned officials about OxyContin abuse. An ebullient high school cheerleader, Lindsey Myers, was reduced to stealing from her parents to feed her escalating Oxy habit. A hard-charging DEA official, Laura Nagel, tried to hold Purdue executives to account. In Pain Killer, Barry Meier breaks new ground in his decades-long investigation into the opioid epidemic. He takes readers inside Purdue to show how long the company withheld information about the abuse of OxyContin and gives a shocking account of the Justice Department's failure to alter the trajectory of the opioid epidemic and protect thousands of lives. Equal parts crime thriller, medical detective story, and business exposé, Pain Killer is a hard-hitting look at how a supposed wonder drug became the gateway drug to a national tragedy.

Includes strategies to improve natural immunity and build inner strength Ever since the SARS-CoV-2 virus appeared in November 2019, the world has been imprisoned in political and medical tyranny. Our constitutional rights were confiscated, unlawful lockdowns were imposed and lives and livelihoods were lost. Logic and reason were trashed and replaced with mandates and madness. Politicians, public health officers and hospital administrators became 'medical experts' while physicians trained to treat patients were gagged and told to follow orders, or lose their jobs. Dissent was labelled as misinformation, conspiracy theory and dangerous lies.COVID-19 is no ordinary pandemic where millions of people drop dead in the street from infection. Instead, a mythical bogyman was released to spread a false narrative and terrorise people with fear. The plan is to usher in a new-world 'utopian' normal. In this updated edition, Margaret Stevenson explains how people have been threatened and coerced to follow a political line. How the global elite are leading us to a dystopian future where humanity will be enslaved and controlled in a matrix of fear. Margaret shows how, with determination and a few strategies, we can break free from this mental prison and design our own future-one of peace, hope, freedom and abundance.
