  What does it mean to help save someone's life? How does it feel to nearly kill a patient? Can we keep our patients safe at night? In the face of overwhelming pressures, can we thrive or only survive? And is a happy life as a doctor still possible? 
   
   
   
  In the early months and years of work, it is these kinds of questions, rather than any technical or knowledge-based queries, which preoccupy many new doctors. This elusive, hidden curriculum is pervasive within departments, around hospitals, and across health systems, but is rarely, if ever, explicitly examined and discussed. At its core is the issue that should matter above all others—how we can keep our patients as safe as possible. 
   
   
   
  The Bleep Test combines gripping and startlingly vulnerable recollections of early experiences on the wards with an array of research findings, from psychology and human biology to anthropology, business, and behavioral economics. Acknowledging that the truly complex challenges facing new doctors lie far beyond the realms of the traditional medical sciences in which they were trained, the book explains that the shift to being a doctor depends on first understanding how we think, reason, and behave as someone we have been all our lives—a human amongst humans.

  Beyond the Stars - The Role of...

  The concept of cosmic expansion is foundational to modern cosmology. It describes the way the universe has been stretching out over time, with galaxies moving away from each other. This phenomenon was first observed in the early 20th century by astronomer Edwin Hubble, who discovered that distant galaxies were receding from the Earth. The further a galaxy was, the faster it seemed to move away. This led to the realization that the universe itself was expanding, not just galaxies moving within a static space. The discovery was groundbreaking because it suggested that the universe had a beginning—a moment when all matter and energy were concentrated in a singular point. This insight laid the groundwork for the Big Bang theory, which proposes that the universe began from an incredibly hot and dense state and has been expanding ever since. 
  Before this discovery, the prevailing belief in astronomy was that the universe was static, neither expanding nor contracting. However, Hubble’s findings, supported by the work of other scientists like Alexander Friedmann and Georges Lemaître, showed that space itself was expanding. This meant that the fabric of the universe was stretching, causing galaxies to drift apart over time. Understanding cosmic expansion was pivotal not only in explaining the universe’s origins but also in forming the basis for further study of its evolution and ultimate fate. 
  At first, scientists believed that the expansion of the universe would eventually slow down due to gravitational pull. This expectation, however, changed with the discovery of dark energy in the late 20th century. Observations of distant supernovae revealed that not only was the universe expanding, but this expansion was actually accelerating. This unexpected acceleration is attributed to dark energy, a mysterious force that permeates space and drives galaxies apart at an ever-increasing rate.

  Dignity in Care - The Human Side...

  No one goes into healthcare with the intention of hurting people, or wanting to come off as callous, cold, or unfeeling. Fortunately, most people working in healthcare understand that kindness and compassion are key, even foundational to success in the care they provide to patients and families. And yet, all too often, there are instances when contact with healthcare is tainted by experiences ranging from vaguely annoying or abrasive to outright emotionally assaultive. Patients may confront experiences that chip away at their sense of pride and personhood.Dignity in Care provides listeners with what they need to know about the humanity and tone of care, and how they can engage in these facets of care in a thoughtful and meaningful way that will satisfy their patients' needs to be seen and appreciated as "whole persons." The author explores how the humanity of care can get overlooked and how to avoid this happening. It teaches how to communicate better with patients, helping them to feel not just cared for, but cared about. Sir William Osler said, "The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease." Dignity in Care applies this outlook to all of healthcare, because many people can gain technical competency, but success within healthcare requires more.
