Doctor Marigold is a novella by the famous Victorian novelist Charles Dickens that tells the story of a “Cheap-Jack” who sells inexpensive articles to the poor in popular fairs. After losing both his daughter and wife, he decides to adopt a deaf and mute girl and names her Sophy after his dead daughter. Throughout the two chapters of the book, Dickens portrays the activities of salesmen in the markets and gives samples of the captivating jingles and patters that they sing. Doctor Marigold, who seems to share with Dickens his linguistic passions, invents a system of sign language for his adopted daughter and teaches her to read and communicate. Dickens’ novella also represents an examination of critical social issues which were much debated in Victorian England, namely adoption and the place of the disabled in the public eye. The latter issue becomes even more complicated when people with a natural handicap decide to marry and run the risk of passing on the handicap to their children. In the narrative, when Sophy marries, Marigold is greatly saddened for her departure. She later sends him a letter to tell him that she is worried that her expected child would be deaf. All culminates in a happy ending, however, when Sophy comes back home and Doctor Marigold assures her that his granddaughter is perfectly healthy.

For over 35 years, a quiet Pennsylvanian, Carl K. Becker, M.D., served at the Oicha mission hospital in Congo's vast Ituri forest, devoting his life to saving lives. This book is the story of the day-to-day life of a missionary doctor; of the natives' fears that must be overcome before they will trust "the white witch doctor"; of the barbaric superstitions from which not even the ablest physician can always save his patient; of the discoveries Dr. Becker made in the treatment of leprosy in spite of inadequate laboratory equipment. Above all, this book answers the question that has haunted every Christian since the martyrdom of so many missionaries in Congo: Was it all in vain? Here the answer is clearly given. This book records how the Congolese themselves begged Dr. Becker to stay at his post. It records some aspects of the anti-missionary onslaught that have not been discussed before; and it concludes on a note of hope.

A deeply concerned physician reflects on todays doctor-patient relationships and offers a compelling vision of a better way to practice medicinePatients and doctors alike are keenly aware that the medical world is in the midst of great change. We live in an era of continuous healthcare reforms, many of which focus on high volume, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. This compelling, thoughtful book is the response of a practicing psychiatrist who explains how population-based reforms have diminished the relationship between doctors and patients, to the detriment of both. As an antidote to failed reforms and an alternative to stubbornly held traditions, Dr. Abraham M. Nussbaum suggests ways that doctors and patients can learn what it means to be ill and to seek medical assistance.Using a variety of riveting stories from his own and others experiences, the author develops a series of metaphors to explore a doctors role in different healthcare reform scenarios: scientist, technician, author, gardener, teacher, servant, and witness. Each role influences what a physician sees when examining a person as a patient. Dr. Nussbaum cautions that true healthcare reform can happen only when those who practice medicine can see, and be seen by, their patients as fellow creatures. His memoir makes a hopeful appeal for change, and his insights reveal the direction that change must take.

Pioneer Doctor is the story of a half-century of medical practice, from the early days in Oklahoma Territory to metropolitan conditions. Lewis J. Moorman, M.D., once told a patient who apologized for calling him out late at night, “You must remember, I started with a team of Indian ponies twenty miles from a railroad.”   Moorman’s experiences run the gamut of human ills and situations—of childbirth in a barn loft,  the “faith healer” who infected a whole community with an “itch,” the mother who was sure her child had a case of the “go-backs.” He tells of encounters with Indians who needed medical help; the horrifying effects of gunshot and knife wounds; and the spiritual response of patients stricken with tuberculosis.             In the literature of medical practice, Dr. Moorman’s association with Old Billy, his horse,  approaches near-classic proportions. Obtained as payment for a long-overdue medical bill, Old Billy had a balky disposition—until the good doctor decided to talk things over with him one day. What follows offers a rare account of the relationship between a man and his horse.            Pioneer Doctor stands as an entertaining and informative memoir, but its social and cultural significance is clear. For here is apparent a tremendous transformation as countless young physicians like Moorman went out from Louisville Medical College, covering the plains with horse-and-buggy doctors.

When we're ill, we trust in doctors to put our well-being first. But medicine's expanding capability and soaring costs are putting this promise at risk. Increasingly, society is calling upon physicians to limit care and to use their skills on behalf of health plan bureaucrats, public officials, national security, and courts of law. And doctors are answering this call. They're endangering patients, veiling moral choices behind the language of science and, at times, compromising our liberties. In The Hippocratic Myth, Dr. M. Gregg Bloche marshals his expertise in medicine and the law to expose how: *Doctors are pushed into acting both as caregivers and cost-cutters, compromising their fidelity to patients*Politics keeps doctors from giving war veterans the help they need*Insurers and hospital administrators pressure doctors to discontinue life-saving treatment, even when patients and family members object*Medicine has become a weapon in America's battles over abortion, child custody, criminal responsibility, and the rights of gays and lesbians*The war on terror has exploited clinical psychology to inflict harmChallenging, provocative, and insightful, The Hippocratic Myth breaks the code of silence and issues a powerful warning about the need for doctors to forge a new compact with patients and society.

The only thing farther from the quiet, peaceful life Elam Stoltzfus always thought he’d lead as an Amish man in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, was the country he ended up calling home with his wife and children in 1972. Settling in northern Guatemala, Elam began a great adventure with his family, living on a houseboat on the Passion River. His children awoke every morning and swam with the crocodiles. His wife cooked bananas, and canned iguana meat. In a dozen villages along the river, the family planted churches. And on the four-hundred-acre property they settled, complete with buried Mayan temples, they opened a medical clinic, where Elam became a self-taught jungle doctor. Nineteen years later, communist guerrillas swept into the mission compound, looted and burned the family's home, the medical clinic, canning center, and the mission's airplanes. Elam had thought the hardest thing he ever had to do was to leave his Amish life behind—until he had to stand with his wife and children amidst the burnt ruins of their life’s work, and watch as his 23-year-old son was taken hostage, off into the night. It’s a life Elam Stoltzfus never could have dreamed of, and a life readers will never forget. This 2016 release of Jungle Breezes is an updated and expanded edition with 200 more pages than the initial release in 2009.
