All Bleeding Stops: Life and Death in the Trauma Unit

For all the awe-inspiring medical stories we might hear and the hospital dramas that dominate the ratings on television, most of us have no conception of the daily Herculean efforts of trauma surgeons. A good trauma surgeon must be a conductor presiding over an orchestra of healthcare providers as their patients cling to life by a thread. They are also a steely quarterback who can’t be rattled when they throw an interception—lingering on a past failure would only ruin their ability to care for the next patient, and the next. They have an encyclopedic knowledge of medical science and are practiced in the art of instinctively reacting to whatever emergency comes flying at them on a stretcher, in addition to doing anything they can to comfort patients’ distraught families and friends. All Bleeding Stops gives listeners an intimate look at what goes on inside a trauma center, highlighting injuries sustained in car crashes, shootings, and stabbings—basically anything bleeding, obstructed, or perforated. Having lived and breathed trauma for four decades, Dr. Cohn is an ideal guide to demystify the role of the trauma surgeon and their place in a hospital. The behind-the-scenes look he provides is infused with sobering tales from his career as a military surgeon and in trauma centers across the country as well as his descriptions of high-profile medical stories.

Fauci: The Bernie Madoff of Science and the HIV Ponzi Scheme that Concealed the Chronic Fatigue Synd

This was the first book, the very first, to issue a warning about the biggest crisis in science and public health. The author began sounding the alarm as a newspaper publisher in the 80s. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. brought the book to the world's attention when he recommended it to his 600,000 followers on his Instagram account in April, 2020. America is now listening. This little book is a chapter from The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up Volume Two, a book that combines the history of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome with a trenchant political analysis of the science and scientists that got everything terribly wrong. ,In his bestseller, The Real Anthony Fauci, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called Charles Ortleb, 'Dr. Fauci's perennial Boswell.' As the publisher and editor-in-chief of New York Native, he was the first person to devote a newspaper to the coverage of AIDS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and the careers of Robert Gallo and Anthony Fauci. Randy Shilts praised his newspaper's pioneering AIDS reporting in And the Band Played On. In Rolling Stone, David Black said New York Native deserved a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the epidemic. This book is the first book to conceptualize the medical and scientific corruption of the last four decades as a medical and scientific Ponzi scheme. It is a radical new way of looking at medical and scientific fraud that has been promoted and enabled for decades. These are ten elements that the author has identified in a medical and scientific Ponzi scheme that have hidden the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic:

[Spanish] - Medicina Tradicional China

En la civilización antigua china, la astronomía, matemáticas, agricultura y medicina fueron las cuatro ciencias avanzadas. Entre ellas, 1a medicina es la única que no ha sido reemplazada nunca por la ciencia occidental y aún desempeña un papel importante en la protección de la salud del pueblo chino. ¿Cómo la medicina tradicional china, un sistema clásico de medicina sin conexión alguna con la ciencia moderna, aún puede existir a pesar de que la ciencia moderna puede cubrir fundamentalmente las necesidades de la atención médica? ¿Es la medicina tradicional china una ciencia o simplemente una colección de experiencias? ¿Tiene todavía posibilidad y espacio para desarrollarse ulteriormente a lo largo de su propia órbita? ¿Existe alguna posibilidad de que pueda ser reemplazada por la medicina moderna? Estas son las preguntas que se hacen con frecuencia.

[Spanish] - Biografías breves - Sigmund Freud

La obra y la vida de Sigmund Freud siguen dando tela para cortar. Fue tanto su impacto en la cultura occidental (y más allá) como variadas son las controversias alrededor de su legado. El fundador del psicoanálisis colocó al inconsciente en el centro de la escena. Con ese punto de partida armó teorías que modificaban las maneras de entender la psiquis, la familia, la sociedad y el arte. Miles de terapeutas se siguen formando en base a sus enseñanzas, mientras que otras corrientes lo critican fuertemente. La biografía de Freud ayuda a comprender cómo fue su trayectoria y qué objetivos perseguía con el psicoanálisis. Explica en buena medida las complejas relaciones que mantuvo con pacientes, colegas y otras personas cercanas. Nos muestra cómo interactuaba su pensamiento con la época de guerras y transformaciones en la que le tocó vivir. Este audiolibro está narrado en español neutro - -

Candace Pert: Genius, Greed, and Madness in the World of Science

The story of maverick scientist Candace Pert, whose groundbreaking research introduced the world to the mind-body connection, opioid receptors, and peptide T, and her fight for recognition in a toxic healthcare system. Candace Pert stood at the dawn of three revolutions: the women's movement, integrative health, and psychopharmacology. A scientific prodigy, she was 30 years ahead of her time, preaching a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to healthcare and medicine long before yoga hit the mainstream and "wellness" took root in our vernacular. Her bestselling book Molecules of Emotion made her the mother of the Mind/Body Revolution, launching a paradigm shift in medicine. Deepak Chopra credits her with creating his career, and he said as much in his eulogy at her funeral. Candace began her career as an unbridled maverick. In 1972, as a 26-year-old graduate student at Johns Hopkins, she discovered the opiate receptor, revolutionizing her field and enabling pharmacologists to design new classifications of drugs from Prozac to Viagra to Percocet and OxyContin. The tragic irony of her breakthrough, touted as the first step to end heroin addiction, is that it helped spawn a virulent epidemic of drug dependence. Facing the largest public health crisis of the 21st century, Candace was incensed that the Hippocratic oath-"first, do no harm"-would succumb to greed, and as witness to this abuse of power, she was one of few scientists courageous enough to protest. Later, as Chief of Brain Biochemistry at the National Institutes of Health, Candace created Peptide T, the non-toxic treatment for HIV featured in Dallas BuyersClub. As the AIDS pandemic raged, triggering panic across Reagan-era America, the U.S. government poured massive amounts of money into finding a cure, sparking a battle among scientists for funding and power. Bested by rivals with competing drugs yet desperate to help, Candace went rogue, becoming a lynchpin in the black market for Peptide T. After a scandalous departure from her tenured position at the NIH, Candace launched a series of private companies with Michael Ruff, her second husband and collaborator. Naïve to the world of business, she was manipulated by investors keen to wrest control of her discoveries. But Candace too became tainted, believing that her noble ends would justify devious means. Like a mythic hero, she succumbed to a fatal flaw, and her greatest strengths-singularity of purpose and blind faith in her own virtuosity-would prove to be her undoing.

Chasing the Intact Mind: How the Severely Autistic and Intellectually Disabled Were Excluded from th

The concept of the intact mind, first described in a 2006 memoir, refers to the idea that inside every autistic child is an intelligent, typical child waiting to be liberated by the right diet, the right treatment intervention, the right combination of supports and accommodations. The sentiment itself is not new. Though the idea gives hope to parents devastated by a child's diagnosis, Amy Lutz argues that it has also contributed to widespread dismantling of services badly needed by severely disabled children and their families. In Chasing the Intact Mind, Lutz traces the history of the intact mind concept, explaining how it influences current policy and practice affecting those with autism. Lutz provides a historical analysis of the intact mind narrative and describes how the concept-originally unique to autism-has come to inform current debates at the heart of intellectual and developmental disability practice and policy in the United States. Lutz argues that focusing on the intact mind and marginalizing those with severe disability reproduces historic patterns of discrimination that yoked human worth to intelligence, and that it is only by making space for the impaired mind that we will be able to resolve these ongoing clashes-as well as even larger questions of personhood, dependency, and care.
