Sinossi

If youre medically curious, then youll love the treasure trove of 
information that Dr. Larry Romane shares in this little book. 
 
This longtime ER doctor has always been surprised at how little people know about medical matters, but he knows that knowledge can be challenging to grasp when doctors call a heart attack an acute myocardial infarction and a simple toothache an anaerobic gingival abscess 
Romane cuts through that jargon to answer questions such as: 

Why is everyone getting diabetes? 
Are brand name medicines safer than generic versions? 
Do you need antibiotics for upper respiratory infections?
 

 
He also shares valuable insights, such as: A pound of fat contains about 3,500 caloriesso cutting 100 calories every day for a year would take off about ten pounds; X-rays may cause future DNA changes in a cell, leading to cancer decades in the future; and only about five percent of dog bites get infected versus sixty percent of cat bitesanother reason a dog is mans best friend. 

 
Youll be surprised by all the medical information you dont know  some of it quite useful  in R U Medically Curious?

Safety WALK Safety TALK - How...

David Allan Galloway

Do you want to make a difference?
Perhaps there is no leadership responsibility more profound than creating a sustainable, injury-free workplace.
Achieving an injury-free environment is one of the most difficult problems many leaders face. Indeed, during 35 years in manufacturing I never discovered a singular solution to this challenge.
In my experience, organizations with the best safety performances do not have a secret. They simply do a lot of small things collectively and strategically well.
This book is a collection of leadership concepts, thoughts, words, and actions that can move your organization toward a better safety future.
The first section of the book reviews fundamental concepts everyone who is striving to achieve safety excellence should understand.
The core of the book reviews key research findings in social psychology and sociology as they apply to safety. I share personal experiences of highly effective leadership. And I recount other situations that exemplify the wrong approach. In each case, I discuss how you can leverage these concepts in a practical way to improve your safety leadership skills.
At the end of each chapter, there is a segment called the SAFETY LEADER'S TOOLBOX. This toolbox contains over 70 practical tools and tips for being a more effective safety leader! Readers are encouraged to consult this toolbox for small changes in what you think, say, and do to shape your safety culture.
Where do you begin? Start with a "Why" of caring. If you start with caring as your personal motive, you won't have to do everything perfectly. Your employees will want to do the right things for the right reasons.
I teach an online course based on the concepts from this book. Visit safetywalksafetytalk.com/course to learn more.

LINUX FOR BEGINNERS - An easy...

John Mnemonic

The best way to learn the Linux command line is as a series of small, easy to manage steps. This book is organized as such, with each section building upon the knowledge and skills learned in the previous sections. If you work through them in order, read them fully (there is a fair bit of material but it is important for getting a proper understanding) and practice on the command line as you go I believe you should have a fairly pleasant and smooth journey to Linux command line mastery. 
99 times out of 100 when a student has troubles with this stuff, I find that it is not that they are incapable but that they were lazy and didn't read the material fully. 
Each section is structured in the following format:An introduction outlining what you will learn in that sectionDetailed material including extensive examplesA summary of programs covered in that section and the most important conceptsA set of activities to help you solidify your knowledge and skills 
Think of the activities not as tutorial questions (such as you may get in a class at school) but as direction on where to explore in the Linux environment to benefit from your new knowledge and skills. Treat the activities as a starting point for exploration. The further you take it, the better you will do. (How well you do and how far you go depends on how unlazy you are.)

Interstitial Cystitis: A...

Tracy Alexis PhD

Medical providers and specialists alike refer to Dr. Alexis as a "medical superhero" for sharing her journey to discover pain relief and a chemical-free "cure" from an obscure bladder disease that mainstream medicine states is "incurable."    On its surface, Interstitial Cystitis: A Personal Journey of COMPLETE Healing! is a book that speaks to the indomitable spirit of a patient, Tracy Alexis PhD, who suffered with (and cured) Interstitial Cystitis and Fibromyalgia with herbs and supplements.  However; the timing of this book and its enlightening "medical self-advocacy" section, specifically, could not be MORE providential as every-day Americans struggle to navigate a broken health care system that has become common fodder for political aggrandizement.  Hospitals are suing and bankrupting patients for astronomically high medical service charges that are not covered by a patient’s insurance, and doctors are equally crushed by the burdensome federally-regulated care and oversight of their patients.  This book – endorsed by doctors -  empowers its readers to stand up to America’s broken health care system…and prevail! Interstitial Cystitis: A Personal Journey of COMPLETE Healing! was written for both health care providers and patient-sufferers of IC (and Fibromyalgia) to bless those who suffer from so-called "diseases" many providers say are hopeless and incurable.
