Pear shaped : the life story of your uterus / by Bongers, Marlies,author.; Klunder, Gijs,illustrator.; Tetley-Paul, Alice,translator.; Zweden, Corien van,author.; translation of:Bongers, Marlies.Biografie van de baarmoeder.English.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."It gives life to humankind, billions of people have one, and yet the uterus is still mysterious to many. And talking about it can feel taboo. But when you don't talk about it, you don't discover what's normal and what's not -- or what questions to ask at the doctor's office. The reality? This versatile, pear-shaped organ is worthy of everyone's attention. In Pear Shaped, a gynecologist and a science communicator join forces to tell the life story of your uterus. Did you know that the uterus is a muscle? Or that it can stretch to the size of a watermelon? In Pear Shaped, the authors reveal surprising facts about the uterus, alongside practical, helpful information including: A detailed anatomy of the uterus with illustrations. An overview of its many functions. Complications that can impact fertility, childbearing, birth, and menstruation. Tips for advocating for yourself at the doctor's office. Descriptions and images of what the uterus looks like (including the fact that it doesn't always look the same for everyone). Real case studies from the author's gynecological practice. Information about menstruation, contraception, abortion, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. As Pear Shaped shows, the uterus is truly fascinating. But it also can be a source of serious concern for many. Pear Shaped also discusses various problems and diseases that arise in the uterus -- including endometriosis, PCOS, fibroids, and unwanted pregnancy -- and how everyday people work with their doctors to find a solution that works for them"--

An Irish country welcome / by Taylor, Patrick,1941-author.;
In the close-knit Northern Irish village of Ballybucklebo, it's said that a new baby brings its own welcome. Young doctor Barry Laverty and his wife Sue are anxiously awaiting their first child, but as the community itself prepares to welcome a new decade, the closing months of the 1960s bring more than a televised moon landing to Barry, his friends, his neighbors, and his patients, including a number of sticky questions. A fledgling doctor joins the practice as a trainee, but will the very upper-class Sebastian Carson be a good fit for the rough and tumble of Irish country life? And as sectarian tensions rise elsewhere in Ulster, can a Protestant man marry the Catholic woman he dearly loves, despite his father's opposition? And who exactly is going to win the award for the best dandelion wine at this year's Harvest Festival? But while Barry and Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly and their fellow physicians deal with everything from brain surgery to a tractor accident to a difficult pregnancy, there's still time to share the comforting joys and pleasures of this very special place: fly-fishing, boat races, and even the town's very first talent competition!

Forbidden knowledge : a self-advocate's guide to managing your prescription drugs / by Young, Terence H.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."When it comes to drug safety, Big Pharma holds all the power, and it's time for patients to take it back. Tens of millions of patients in North America take prescription drugs, but the safety of these drugs is often based on medical myths. We are led to believe that if a medication isn't safe, the government would never let it on the market and that doctors would never prescribe a drug that isn't proven effective. Who controls these narratives? And do they always have the best interests of patients in mind? In an in-depth study of the enormous influence the pharmaceutical industry has over our health, drug safety advocate Terence Young explores how those with the most to gain financially are also those who wield all the power in healthcare--and withhold the knowledge that is critical to the safety of patients. Forbidden Knowledge reveals the truths you need to know about prescription drugs and what to do about it. It empowers patients to partner with their doctor to talk openly and plainly about medications to help avoid serious adverse drug reactions. This is your survival guide to Big Pharma"--
