This textbook is an outstanding addition to the world of Alternative Medicine in general and the world of acupuncture in particular. The acupuncture Microsystems have proven to be some of the most sophisticated tools used in acupuncture today. The hand acupuncture microsystem was introduced in the 1970s and has since gained wide popularity as an effective approach to pain and to other medical problems.

This textbook provides a comprehensive comprehension to the inherit sophistication of the hand acupuncture microsystem. The three-phase system offers a new paradigm for understanding the patho-physiology of the living system.  This new discovery will provide exciting and sophisticated ways to deal with all aspects of the pathology regardless of the duration and the intensity.

& n b s p ; & nbsp;          This book provides a global introduction to Medical Writing for health professions students and for practicing health professionals who are just starting to do some writing.  At the same time, it is sufficiently sophisticated to offer valuable tips to experienced writers.

 

& n b s p ; & nbsp;          Besides scientific articles, students and residents need help for their practical needs:  writing histories, progress notes and case summaries.  And later, they will need the ability to write letters and prepare reports – topics included in this book.

 

& n b s p ; & nbsp;          So often, the need for such training in the other health professions is ignored – dentistry, nursing, podiatry, optometry, pharmacy, physician assistant, public health, occupational therapy and physical therapy, as examples.  Therefore, Medical Writing 101 is a practical help for all health professionals.

& n b s p ; & nbsp;          This comprehensive book can serve several purposes:  a textbook for an actual course, or a self-study manual, or a refresher for the occasional writer – or all three.  Included are important items – usually unknown o the novice and rarely offered in print – as where to find material for writing articles, formats to use, deciding where to submit an article, and knowing what happens when the manuscript or book goes to the editor or publisher.

& n b s p ; & nbsp;          Medical Writing 101 includes material on other writings:  letters, charts, reports and records – all so essential to the health professional’s career and for which he or she is rarely given guidance.

& n b s p ; & nbsp;          This is a “how-to” book, written in a lucid and informal and interesting style – actually a conversational tone.  Replete with strongly illustrative and practical examples, it emphasizes what a tutor might offer in person.  To add to the enjoyment of the book, the author uses humor from time to time – sometimes subtle and sly, sometimes overt – to help emphasize important points.

For more than 75 million people in the United States providing care for an aging parent, Barbara McVicker has released Stuck in the Middle.  In her book, McVicker provides real-life short stories by caregivers and a practical guide with tip lists.

Like many adult children, McVicker felt "stuck in the middle" of the needs of her children, her aging parents, and her career.  As the responsibilities became too overwhelming, she quit her job as a development director for a non-profit agency, eventually devoting 10 years to caregiving her parents.

During those years, Barbara searched for a primer on caregiving elderly parents to help guide her through the maze of emotion and information.  Because every aspect of taking care of her parents involved reacting to crisis after crisis, she longed for both a support group and information crucial to her role as a caregiver.  McVicker has now written that primer.

Having interviewed hundreds of caregivers and healthcare professionals, McVicker has compiled information that is essential for all caregivers. Her work also serves as a "support group in a book", so adult children caregivers do not feel so alone and isolated. The book contains chapters on the Rewards of Caregiving, Grief, Must Have Documents, Effective Ways to Communicate, Universal Conflicts when Caregiving, and much more.

Stuck in the Middle has been recognized by the media, the National Hospice Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, medical school researchers, and seminary professors.
