The Good Doctor
Author: Kenneth Brigham
Publisher: Seven Stories Press
ISBN: 1609809971
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
What makes a good doctor? It's not what you think. A doctor willing to face their own uncertainty in the face of illness and treatment might just be the best medicine. Too often we choose the wrong doctor for the wrong reasons. It doesn't have to be that way. In The Good Doctor, Ken Brigham, MD, and Michael M.E. Johns, MD, argue that we need to change the way we think about health care if we want to be the healthiest we can be. Counterintuitive as it may seem, uncertainty is integral to medicine, and you want a doctor who knows that: someone who sees you as the unique case you are, someone who knows that data isn't everything, someone who is able to change her mind as the information changes. For too long we've clung to the myth of the infallible doctor--one who assuredly tells us this is what's wrong and here is how I will cure you--and our health has suffered for it. Brigham and Johns propose a new model of medicine, one that is comfortable with ambiguity and that centers on an equal partnership between patient and doctor. Uncertainty, properly embraced, opens a new universe of possibilities.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
No biblical theme raises more fear or discouragement among Adventists than God's judgments, especially the pre-advent judgment. However, there is great news! The author reveals how our fear disappears when we accept Jesus, the righteous One, as our Substitute in the judgment. Learn how God's judgment illustrates His purpose of universal restoration and vindication in the context of His covenant, grace, and justification. Through a loving God's offer of justification by faith we can stand confidently in the judgment with Christ our Advocate. Discover joy in salvation by faith in Christ alone, that the pre-advent judgment is Christ-centered, not man-centered; it is not what you have done but what He has done for you! Judgment does not question your decision to accept Christ's sacrifice; it validates the decision you've already made! Finally, readers will find peaceful assurance that eternity won't begin until every human question has been answered to our satisfaction in the judgment.

Book Description
Steve Dupree, an aspiring folksinger, sees his high school buddy Vic Power as everything Dupree dreams of being: a self-assured songwriter who hustles gigs out of thin air, relentlessly pursuing the dream of stardom. Bound by their love for music and the urge to see the world, their paths cross again and again over ten years and two continents. Their sometimes volatile musical partnership takes them from the beaches of Southern California to the German Alps to the canal-lined streets of Amsterdam and beyond. Along the way, Dupree learns lessons about love, loyalty, courage, and, ultimately, himself. As part of the international hippie movement of the late sixties and early seventies, Dupree and Power hop borders, dodge authorities, and share casual drugs and fleeting lovewhile tensions between the two threaten to tear their traveling band apart. As in his first novel, Avalon Summer, author David Matson Hooper seeks to capture place and time in vivid language, illuminating both the sunny ideals and the sometimes stormy realities of what it means to spend seasons in the wind.

Seasoned detective, Jason Carmichael, is assigned the task of determining the controversial death of a fellow deputy in the mountains east of Sonora, California. Assertions of suicide, a possible accident, or a drug-related hit plague Jason since there is no conclusive evidence to prove either. Sheriff Owen Wheeler assigns a gutsy, self-confident woman as an aide to Jason. Attractive and married, the woman demands the deceased deputy be, at least, afforded the dignity of an official burial. An act she feels will finally bring him home. Having this woman at his side was not Jason's choice, but soon finds out what his life would be without her. A tiny circle is Jason's only compelling evidence to solving the case until their paths cross with that of a rogue cop who makes an unsolicited remark while being questioned as part of another wider investigation. Will Jason condemn this rogue or thank him?
