Waldy Myelo & Me - Surviving Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia & Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Carol Turner

Summary

Prepare to meet Waldy, Dr. Turner’s pet name for Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia.Then, just as it seems like the shock is clearing, his pal, Myelo—Myelodysplastic Syndrome—enters the scene. In the process of fighting them off, we’ll also meet enough doctors and varied care providers to fill a small bus: Dr. Blood Expert, Dr. Know It All, Ms. Smooth-as-Silk Social Worker, Dr. Second Cancer, Dr. Gatekeeper, Dr. Good Ideas, Dr. Italian, Dr. Believer, and more. Some work miracles, while one caused our protagonist to storm out of their office in disgust. Much of what’s in these pages is about self-advocacy. As a doctor herself, Dr. Turner is less intimidated than most by going toe-to-toe with care providers and taking her care into her own hands, whether with doctors, nurses, or administrative personnel. Though she’s a doctor, and her words are medically accurate, her writing is squarely intended for regular people—as are the lessons it conveys.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
At the Water's Edge by Sara Gruen tells the story of Maddie, a young American woman who travels to Scotland with her husband, Ellis, and their friend, Hank, in 1942, in search of the Loch Ness Monster. Maddie is a reluctant participant in this quest, which is fueled by her husband's obsession and his father's previous attempts to find the monster. 
  
As the trio settles into a remote Scottish inn, Maddie finds herself increasingly isolated and out of place. The story explores themes of identity, trauma, and the clash between cultures, as Maddie struggles to navigate the complexities of wartime Scotland and the strained dynamics of her own marriage. The narrative also delves into the impact of war on individuals and communities, as rationing, blackouts, and the presence of soldiers constantly remind them of the global conflict. Maddie must also confront her own mental health issues which are exacerbated by the stress of this environment.

Spellbound - My Life as a...

Phil Hanley

This program is read by the author, comedian and severe dyslexic Phil Hanley, who reveals his unlikely path to success in a story that is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking.When Phil Hanley was in first grade, he realized something that would forever set him apart from his peers: he couldn’t read. His teachers were ill-equipped to assist him, and he slipped through the school’s cracks, year by year falling further and further behind his friends. Finally, he was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that would shape the rest of his life.Unable to pursue college or a traditional job, Phil was thrust into a life defined by unconventional twists, including a stint as a runway model in Europe. Eventually, he found himself on a stage with a microphone, a spotlight, and five minutes of jokes. Unlike so many previous pursuits, stand-up felt right to Phil, and he soon discovered that the more he worked at it, the more he got out of it—a realization that, he compellingly argues, saved his life. Spellbound is a story of humor and also of struggle and heartbreak, of constantly living in a world that sees things differently than you do, and of triumph over adversity.Hanley tells us that dyslexia can be a huge challenge, but it doesn’t spell certain condemnation (and neither can he). Just the opposite: dyslexia has been more than a blessing in his life—it’s been his North Star.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

The Brain Savers - How a Scrappy...

Colin T. McDonald, Bonnie...

A FULL CAST PERFORMANCE, FEATURING HOLLYWOOD ACTORS, SOUND EFFECTS, AND AN ORIGINAL SCORE!
From the authors of the New York Times bestseller, The Barefoot Spirit, and the Audie Award finalist, genre-bending audiobook of the same name, comes a story of vision and invention, failure and setbacks, mistakes and lessons. Business Audio Theatre presents a Sherwood Players Production, The Brain Savers, the true story of how a scrappy startup used technology to put the humanity of patients first and ended up changing medicine forever.
Amid the internet boom of the mid-2000s, a band of entrepreneurs stood at the intersection of medicine, technology, and business. They saw a solution to the crucial problems of emergency care, which was too often handicapped by underfunding, overscheduled specialists, archaic practices, and onerous equipment. Through pioneering telemedicine and new inventions like the portable CT scanner, the founders of Specialists on Call (S.O.C.) did more than just make emergency care better, faster, and more humane; they brought health care, which is often described as the slowest industry in America to change, into the 21st Century.
This is Dr. Colin McDonald’s story of how S.O.C. came to be. After leaving a cushy teaching position at Harvard, it took years of pursuing a single objective, then changing on a dime, to create S.O.C. In the end, what he created was a system that saved lives—and continues to save lives today.
Some of these hard-learned lessons are complex, while others are so timeless they almost sound cliché (“trust your vision and your moral compass, change when you must, just keep going”), but they are far from cliché for the founders of S.O.C. Theirs is a story of people with imagination and drive who wanted to make the world better, who trusted their ideas and each other, and who, despite everything, kept on going!
