The Mourning After
Dr. Keith R. Durante, a top-of-the-line surgeon, loving husband and father of three, always thought he’d write a book. He just never believed it would be about grief, grief recovery, forgiveness, and the magic of Uganda. But his life took a dramatic turn when his daughter, Liz, was killed by a drunken driver before she made it to the airport to fly to Uganda. Following her death, the author knew his daughter’s work was unfinished and needed to continue. He started Project Liz—The Mountain Pygmy Project in Uganda to honor her, which to this day is a work in progress. In this book, he recalls how he reacted to the news of his daughter’s death, the grief that ensued, and what he learned on is journey. He also reflects on performing surgical procedures in remote areas in Uganda and his frequent trips into the impenetrable forest to search for the silverback gorillas that captivated him. Join the author as he reveals the rigors of being a surgeon, how he lost his way, and what led him to reinvent himself to focus on what really matters.
Broken Hearts
A history illustrating the complexity of medical decision making and risk. Still the leading cause of death worldwide, heart disease challenges researchers, clinicians, and patients alike. Each day, thousands of patients and their doctors make decisions about coronary angioplasty and bypass surgery. In Broken Hearts David S. Jones sheds light on the nature and quality of those decisions. He describes the debates over what causes heart attacks and the efforts to understand such unforeseen complications of cardiac surgery as depression, mental fog, and stroke. Why do doctors and patients overestimate the effectiveness and underestimate the dangers of medical interventions, especially when doing so may lead to the overuse of medical therapies? To answer this question, Jones explores the history of cardiology and cardiac surgery in the United States and probes the ambiguities and inconsistencies in medical decision making. Based on extensive reviews of medical literature and archives, this historical perspective on medical decision making and risk highlights personal, professional, and community outcomes.
Cardiac Valve Replacement
Cardiac Valve Replacement: Current Status is the proceedings of the Fourth Interna tional Symposium on the ST. JUDE MEDICAL@ valve. The first three symposia on this topic were held primarily for designated investigators involved in clinical trials of the ST. JUDE MEDICAL valve. The last meeting, chaired by Michael E. DeBakey, M.D., was held in November 1982 [1], immediately before the valve was released for general clinical use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration. These proceedings then are the first comprehensive compilation of clinical data since that time; and they include, particularly in the discussions, the experience of physicians other than the original clinical ...
