Traumjob Oder Albtraum - Chefarzt M/W : Ein Rat- Und Perspektivgeber (9783662497784)

Chefärztin und Chefarzt kann einer der am meisten zufriedenstellenden und zugleich anspruchsvollsten Berufe sein. Neben der fachlichen Expertise soll der Chefarzt (w/m) über soziale und kommunikative Kompetenz, Führungsstärke und Organisationsgeschick verfügen, um sein Team als Vorbild der Abteilung sicher und konsequent zu führen. Heute wird unter der zunehmenden Kommerzialisierung der Krankenhäuser wirtschaftliches Denken vorausgesetzt. Dies bringt Ärzte oft in ein Dilemma zwischen anreizfreier Indikationsstellung im Patienteninteresse und vorgegebenen ökonomischen Zwängen. Wie sollten sich Chefärzte (w/m) verhalten, wie ist die Zerrissenheit zwischen Patienten- und Mitarbeiterfürsorge einerseits und Wirtschaftlichkeit andererseits zu lösen? Hierzu will das Buch durch eine multiperspektivische Sichtweise erfahrener Kliniker und namhafter Autoren aus den Bereichen Ethik, Recht, Coaching und Verwaltung Antworten geben. Deshalb ist es nicht nur für Ärzte auf dem Weg zur und solche in Le...

Salvage (9781490339054)

When Salvageman Ed saves Ella Rodriguez from spider-drones on the pleasure planet of Sinclair's Landfall, he has no idea what he's letting himself in for. Ella is not at all what she seems, as he's soon about to find out. What follows, as the spider-drones and the Hayakawa Organisation chase Ed, Ella and engineer Karrie light-years across space, is a fast-paced adventure with Ed learning more about Ella - and about himself - than he ever expected. The Salvageman Ed series of linked stories - four of which appear here for the first time - combine action, humour and pathos, from the master of character-based adventure science fiction. "Eric Brown's modest, slightly retro, extremely charming and very human voice has been a distinctive, indeed unique, presence in British SF for many years. Here he offers another interlinked selection of stories which, as is typical of Eric Brown, manage to be small scale, close-up, and completely free of heroic posturing, in spite o...

No Apparent Distress Lib/E : A Doctor's Coming-Of-Age on the Front Lines of American Medicine (9781538414118)

A brutally frank memoir about doctors and patients in a health care system that puts the poor at risk In medical charts, the term N.A.D. (No Apparent Distress) is used for patients who appear stable. The phrase also aptly describes America's medical system when it comes to treating the underprivileged. Medical students learn on the bodies of the poor-and the poor suffer from their mistakes. Rachel Pearson confronted these harsh realities when she started medical school in Galveston, Texas. Pearson, herself from a working-class background, remains haunted by the suicide of a close friend, experiences firsthand the heartbreak of her own errors in a patient's care, and witnesses the ruinous effects of a hurricane on a Texas town's medical system. In No Apparent Distress, she chronicles her experiences and the raging disparities in a system that favors the rich and the white. This is at once an indictment of American health care and a deeply moving tale of one doctor's c...

The Way We Die Now : The View from Medicine's Front Line (9781250112798)

We have lost the ability to deal with death. Most of the dying spend their last days in general hospitals and nursing homes, in the care of strangers. They may not even know they are dying, victims of the kindly lie that there is still hope. They are often robbed of their dignity after a long series of excessive and hopeless medical interventions. This is the starting point of Seamus O'Mahony's book on the western way of death. Dying has never been more exposed, with public figures writing memoirs of their illness, but in private we have done our best to banish all thought of death. Dying has become medicalized and sanitized, but doctors cannot prescribe a "good death." The Way We Die Now asks us to consider how we have gotten to this age of spiritual poverty and argues that giving up our fantasies of control over death can help restore its significance.

Endure : Mind, Body and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance (9780008308186)

'This book is AMAZING!' - MALCOLM GLADWELL 'If you want to gain insight into the mind of great athletes, adventurers, and peak performers then prepare to be enthralled by Alex Hutchinson's Endure.' - BEAR GRYLLS How high or far or fast can humans go? And what about individual potential: what defines a person's limits? From running a two-hour marathon to summiting Mount Everest, we're fascinated by the extremes of human endurance, constantly testing both our physical and psychological limits. In Endure Alex Hutchinson, Ph.D., reveals why our individual limits may be determined as much by our head and heart, as by our muscles. He presents an overview of science's search for understanding human fatigue, from crude experiments with electricity and frogs' legs to sophisticated brain imaging technology. Going beyond the traditional mechanical view of human limits, he instead argues that a key element in endurance is how the brain responds to distre...

How to Find Love (0995573697)

Choosing a partner is one of the most consequential and tricky decisions we will ever make. The cost of repeated failure is immense. And yet we are often so alone with the search. Partners used to be found for us by parents and society. Now we are expected to follow our feelings - and so locate people by ourselves, according to intuition. This should be an improvement, but our emotions often pull us towards hugely problematic characters and dynamics. How to Find Love explains why we have the 'types' we do - and how our early experiences give us scripts of how and whom we can love. The book provides a crucial set of ideas to help us make safer, more imaginative and more effective choices in love. Product details Format Hardback | 80 pages ...
