Book list! (And medical school advice)

admin — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 00:37:29 +0000

This is an intro to great books on medicine.
If you want to read something fun, informative about medicine, I’ve put together a short list of recommended books. But also, for those who are applying to medical school, this summer reading list should be a fun place to start — and also should help you with your medical school essay and interview.

Recommended by Youtuber: Singul4r1ty
The house of god” by Samuel Shem
____________________________________________

These are some further books recommended by Youtuber Jason Pitcher. He wrote:

“Planning a Life in Medicine” by The Princeton Review. This book is one of the basics that discuss the steps towards making it into medical school and fully details the areas one should focus on to prepare for such a venture.

“Med School Confidential” by Robert H. Miller & Daniel M. Bissell,M.D. This book, too, details and outlines the steps for an undergraduate to take to make it into medical school and succeed as a medical student.

“The Intern Blues” by Robert Marion, M.D. This particular piece details three interns (post-med school) and the trials and tribulations they face in the pediatric wards as they work towards surviving their first year as doctors.

“Emergency Doctor” by Edward Ziegler. A work that describes life and experiences as an emergency physician.

“Becoming a Doctor” Melvin Konner, M.D. This is probably one of my favorites as it shows the reader the journey to becoming a doctor as a 33 year old man who already had created a life for himself, yet decides he wants more than the life he has worked so hard to achieve.

Now.. I know most of these do not give advice as to how to make it into medical school or even through it, but I love these books because they show the reader exactly what you can expect once you reach the point that you are required to actually put to show the information and knowledge you have required in medical school.

Southeast Medical Center on cutting edge

admin — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 00:37:25 +0000

Going to the doctor used to be a hassle for Judith Gonsalves and her husband, Alexander, of Whitman. They hope it will now be more like one- stop shopping.
“Before, I’d go to Abington for my primary care doctor, get my X-rays in Brockton or Whitman, my mammogram in Abington and go back to Brockton to see other specialists,” she said. “It was the same for my husband.”
Last weekOn Tuesday, Gonsalves had her first appointment at her primary care doctor’s new offices at Compass Medical, which recently moved to the new Southeast Medical Center in East Bridgewater, just over the Whitman town line, in late July.
Once she made it through the temporary road work and detour at the entrance, things moved smoothly.
Southeast Medical is a brand new, 70,000- square-foot office building that is much larger and more modern than Compass Medical’s former offices in Whitman. Doctors there have It has new affiliations with Boston teaching hospitals. There’s plenty of parking, and Gonsalves can expect to find get most all of her care there, except for emergencies.
If Gonsalves needs her blood drawn or other testing, there’s a full lab on the first floor. She had her annual mammogram there a few weeks ago — it used updated digital scanning — and the radiology suite also has digital X-ray services, the latest 64-slice CT scanner, an MRI machine, bone density testing, ultrasound and will soon have an MRI machine. A radiologist from Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston works there full- time, reading tests and consulting with staff.
In Whitman, Compass had nearly 16,000 square feet. Compass now leases 43,000 square feet in the East Bridgewater medical center. The extra room has accommodated job growth: Compass has expanded its work force from 90 people in Whitman to 125 in East Bridgewater.
If either of the Gonsalves or her husband need a cardiologist or several other types of special care, those services are on site too. Many specialized doctors at the facility — including the new vein center — are affiliated with Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. Other specialists are affiliated with the Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary in Boston and Eye Health Services in Quincy. There’s a new urgent care center with evening and Saturday hours and a pharmacy — a branch of Duval’s Pharmacy in Whitman — to fill prescriptions. Orthopedic surgeons are also in the building.
Gonsalves said she felt much more confident after getting her mammogram this year. “The equipment is so new — before it was much older, and you just wondered if you were getting an accurate result,” she said.
“This equipment makes you feel much more confident that you are getting the right diagnosis.”
Located about 30 miles south of Boston, the Southeast Medical Center is not what people might expect to find driving down Route 18 past small roadside stands and local businesses. Just a
A short distance beyond the Peaceful Meadows Farm and Ice Cream Stand in Whitman, with cows in the field, the long, two- story beige-and-white building on its 100-acre site dominates the landscape.
“It’s almost like a hospital — it’s huge,” an elderly woman from Abington said Monday, as she left her doctor’s office. “It’s beautiful, but I’m old and I don’t like change.”
That sentiment didn’t surprise Dr. Jonathan Ellis of Milton, a cardiologist with Compass Medical, who was monitoring a patient’s stress test — another new on-site feature. Despite the need for older patients to adjust to change and also to be patient while some construction is completed, the overwhelming response has been very positive, said Dr. Jonathan Ellis of Milton, a cardiologist with Compass Medical. Ellis said.
“We’ve been drawing in new patients since we opened July 30,” he said.
“They have heard about the convenience and the new equipment.”
Some of the new devices include the 64-slice CT scanner and an MRI machine that will begin operating next month. ” — including some of the most advanced digital imaging devices, like a 64-slice CT scanner, and an MRI machine that will be in place by mid October. “I’ll be able to use those right here in diagnosing patients’ conditions,” he said.

Medical Marijuana in Texas

admin — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 22:39:30 +0000

www.docubloggers.org

Pot, weed, refer, ganja, hash, marijuana. It’s been called a gateway drug, a destroyer of youth, and medicine. With states fighting to legalize medical marijuana and keep the federal government from raiding crops and dispensaries, this issue has moved to the forefront of states rights. Texas does not allow medical marijuana, but two new bills have been introduced to the house for the current session that would change that. Where do you line up on this issue? We talked to people on the street, Willie Nelson, Ray Benson, Josh Schimberg of NORML, and Ron Paul to see where they line up on the issue of medical marijuana. Get involved! We want to hear from you on this. Contact your Representative to let them know where you stand on this issue.
