The Mekong Medic

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In the heart of the Vietnam War, amidst the chaos and carnage, a young surgeon named Ethan Walker finds himself on the front lines, fighting a battle against death and despair.

Ethan's gripping memoir, "The Mekong Medic," transports readers to the treacherous rice paddies and dense jungles of the Mekong Delta, where he served as a medic with the 4th battalion of the 39th Regiment, 9th Infantry Division. With raw honesty and vivid detail, Ethan recounts the horrors of combat, the challenges of providing medical care in a war zone, and the profound impact of war on the human spirit.

Through Ethan's eyes, we witness the resilience and camaraderie of the soldiers, the unwavering dedication of the medical personnel, and the indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese people. We experience the highs and lows of life in a combat zone—the moments of camaraderie, humor, and hope amidst the constant threat of danger and loss.

Ethan's story is not just a chronicle of war; it is a testament to the power of the human spirit to endure and overcome adversity. It is a story of courage, compassion, and the enduring bonds of friendship forged in the crucible of conflict. As Ethan grapples with the ethical dilemmas of wartime medicine and the complexities of a war-torn society, he discovers a newfound understanding of himself, his purpose, and the resilience of the human spirit.

"The Mekong Medic" is a powerful and deeply personal account of one man's journey through the heart of the Vietnam War. It is a story that will stay with readers long after they finish the last page, a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who serve, the resilience of the human spirit, and the enduring legacy of war.

Ethan Walker's gripping memoir offers a unique perspective on one of the most tumultuous and defining conflicts of the 20th century. His story is a testament to the courage, compassion, and enduring bonds of friendship that emerge even in the darkest of times.

Future Care - Sensors Artificial...

Dr. Jag Singh

WITH A FOREWORD BY SIDDHARTHA MUKHERJEE A renowned cardiologist and Harvard professor spells out the future digital shift of medicine — and how it will impact the lives not only of patients and health care professionals but of all humans. Future care is virtual care: sensor-aided, digitally enabled, and powered by predictive analytics. Like most facets of modern life, human organs, too, are being digitally monitored. Sensors are well on their way to helping us proactively capture the information needed to predict and prevent disease. Paired with the medical world’s growing emphasis on wellness and prevention, the digital revolution will help us effectively monitor and address the chronic diseases that have been the Achilles’ heel of the health care system to date. This large-scale transition is not only going to reshape the patient-physician relationship but also dramatically change how hospitals and the business of medicine operate. Dr. Singh explores the upswell of virtual care, the evolving role of sensors, and the impact of artificial intelligence in medicine and health care through cutting-edge science, big idea projections, and patient stories. Using anecdotes from his own COVID-19 illness and medical practice, Dr. Singh shows that the success of the digital revolution in medicine is dependent on our ability to understand and adapt to this changing landscape. Future Care provides fascinating insights into how health care can become sensible, affordable, and practical and why everyone needs to become a part of the solution. It is an important and timely contribution to the ongoing and increasingly urgent conversation about medicine, technology, and health care.
