Personal stories combine with staff experiences to reveal hidden truths about the operating room and illustrate the quirky, strange, and bizarre occurrences that shape a regular hospital day. Answering questions such as What do doctors talk about during surgery? If a surgical instrument falls to the floor, is the five-second rule observed? and Is real life just like ER, Grey's Anatomy, and House?, this is a must-read for the curiosity seeker and anyone who has or will be on the operating-room table.http://www.lybrary.com/operating-room-confidential-what-really-goes-when-under-p-64318.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/operating-room-confidential-what-really-goes-when-under-p-64318.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST <p><i>The New ME Diet</i> unlocks your fat-burning hormones, so you can stop counting calories and start losing weight</p><p>Holistic physicians, biochemists, and personal trainers Jade Teta and Keoni Teta have created a diet and exercise program that jump-starts your stalled metabolism and turns your body into a fat-burning machine.</p><p>In the first three weeks you'll experience a Metabolic Spark and <i>lose up to 15 pounds</i>, a signal that your metabolism is ready to begin burning <i>fat</i>.

The German jurist Daniel Paul Schreber believed his body was being colonized and transformed at the hands of God and doctors alike. Andy Warhol was terrified by disease and by the idea of disease. Glenn Gould claimed a friendly pat on his shoulder had destroyed his ability to play piano. And we all know someone who has trawled the Internet in solitude, seeking to pinpoint the source of his or her fantastical symptoms.
<p>The Hypochondriacs is a book about fear and hope, illness and imagination, despair and creativity. It explores, in the stories of nine individuals, the relationship between mind and body as it is mediated by the experience, or simply the terror, of being ill. And, in an intimate investigation of those lives, it shows how the mind can make a prison of the body by distorting our sense of ourselves as physical beings. Through witty, entertaining, and often moving examinations of the lives of these eminent hypochondriacs—James Boswell, Charlotte Brontë, Charles Darwin, Florence Nightingale, Alice James, Daniel Paul Schreber, Marcel Proust, Glenn Gould, and Andy Warhol—Brian Dillon brilliantly unravels the tortuous connections between real and imagined illness, irrational fear and rational concern, the mind's aches and the body's ideas.http://www.lybrary.com/hypochondriacs-nine-tormented-lives-p-63436.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/hypochondriacs-nine-tormented-lives-p-63436.htmlSat, 13 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST If you work anywhere in healthcare, Uproot Healthcare was written to you and about you.
