A real emergency : stories from the ambulance / by Sokol, Joanna,author.;
Includes bibliographical references.Introspective, richly layered, and surprisingly hopeful, A Real Emergency is a love letter from a paramedic to the best and worst parts of her career. For fifteen years, Joanna Sokol filled private notebooks with her confusion, humor, and anger toward the strange world of emergency street medicine. As her career on the ambulance progressed, she found herself taking notes on scraps of paper, the backs of gloves, and in the margins of EKG printouts. She listened to her patients' stories, left food out for their pets, and turned off the stove under their oxtail stews. Once, she read half a poem left in a dead woman's typewriter. She learned about the history that brought ambulances into their current role as the caretakers of society's forgotten and spoke to her colleagues about their own experiences and perspectives. Those reflections are collected here, in a series of raw, powerful essays about the state modern healthcare. Sokol's life as a paramedic took her to three different counties: the casinos and trailer parks of the Nevada desert, the cozy beach town of Santa Cruz, and, eventually, the crowded tenements of San Francisco's Tenderloin district. There are no clear villains or heroes in Sokol's world, only a group of patients and medics who are doing their best in a deeply broken system. Combining impactful research, compassionate reflections on her most memorable patients, and the strong voices of her fellow paramedics, Sokol takes readers deep into the everyday reality of 911 first responders, offering insight, empathy, and a reminder of both the power and limitations of care.

The microbiome master key : harness your microbes to unlock whole-body health and lifelong vitality / by Finlay, B. Brett,author.; Finlay, Jessica M.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Hand sanitizer. Social distancing. Antibiotics. Even before the COVID pandemic, fending off germs has long been considered one of the cornerstones of good health. But what if better health actually went hand-in-hand with embracing the invisible microbes living on, in, and all around us? Our bodies are teeming with microbes. They impact everything from sleep, cognition, mood, heart health, and energy to likelihood of developing dementia, diabetes and some cancers. As groundbreaking new studies are showing, taking care of the microbiome -- inside and out -- can help improve day-to-day health and even help prevent or reverse some of the most common age-related diseases. In this eye-opening and evidence-based book, father-daughter team Dr. Brett Finlay (a microbiologist) and Dr. Jessica Finlay (a specialist in aging) break down what the latest research says about how the microbiome affects not just gut health, but all aspects of physical and mental well-being -- and what readers can do about it.

Bitter paradise : a Dr. Zol Szabo medical mystery / by Pennie, Ross,1952-author.;
"After weeks of torture at the hands of Syria's secret police, the bombing of his villa in the ancient city of Aleppo, and the murder of his daughter, trauma surgeon Dr. Hosam Khousa flees his fractured homeland with his wife and son. They make their way to Canada as refugees, where Hosam is forced to trade his prestigious scalpel for a barber's humble clippers. Though he aches to regain his once-prominent surgical career, cutting hair in Hamilton, Ontario, seems a safe way to make a living, until a fellow Syrian is slashed to death in the barbershop. The ensuing gangland vendetta entangles Hosam and threatens his family. At the same time, epidemic investigators Dr. Zol Szabo and Natasha Sharma are battling an outbreak of vaccine-resistant polio that has struck the city with terrifying fury. When Hosam visits a friend clinging to life in the intensive care unit, he spots something that might help the investigation but will ruin his chance of retaking his place in the operating theater. The Great White North is not the sanctuary he expected, but it's a bitter paradise he must learn to navigate."-- Provided by publisher.

Tommy Douglas and the quest for medicare in Canada / by Marchildon, Gregory P.,1956-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."How and why was universal health coverage implemented so early in a poverty-stricken province in Canada? Why was its design so faithfully replicated in the national standards that ultimately shaped Medicare across the rest of Canada? Seeking to answer these questions, Tommy Douglas and the Quest for Medicare in Canada explores the history of universal health care through the life of Canadian politician Tommy Douglas, identifying the pivotal moments and decisions that led to the establishment of Medicare in Canada. The book traces the origins of Medicare back to the 1930s Depression and its devastating impact on the Prairie populations. Marchildon examines how Tommy Douglas and a new generation of reformers, radicalized by the Depression, prioritized socialized health care. The book reveals how, as the provincial party leader, Douglas leveraged support from both local and external allies to rapidly implement universal hospital insurance and lay the groundwork for a new health system. Despite strong opposition from physician and business lobbies, Douglas continued to pressure the government for federal cost-sharing of universal health coverage. Drawing on archival sources including speeches, television broadcasts, and cabinet documents, Tommy Douglas and the Quest for Medicare in Canada illuminates how Douglas's vision, leadership, and coalition-building among unions were crucial to the successful establishment of Medicare in Canada"--
