Book Description

Prior to WWII when the Romanian monarchy modernized the nation, Romania became one of the richest countries in Europe. During that time, my family was a part of privileged intellectuals and land owners. After 1939, Romania was subjected to Fascism against her will, and after 1945, the country came under Communist rule. All of us were reduced to poverty. I have witnessed how the Communist regime marginalized people and suppressed individual liberty, private initiative, lack of opportunities, and hope. I used the course of my life and decided to write its story for the purpose of showing others what an unsuccessful, socialist, Marxist government means. When it came to power, the State seized the fruits and the bounty it found, however, without producing anything on its own, except thousands of deaths and political prisoners. This is my story under a Communist regime when I lost my liberty.

Book Description

Each year, neonatal Intensive care units (NICUs) in the U.S. and around the world help thousands of sick or premature newborns survive. NICUs are committed to the ideals of family-centered care, which encourages shared decision-making between parents and NICU caregivers. In cases of infants with conditions marked by high mortality, morbidity, or great suffering, family-centered care affirms the right of parents to assist in making decisions regarding aggressive treatment for their infant. Often, these parents' difficult and intimate decisions are shaped profoundly by their religious beliefs. In light of this, what precisely are the teachings of the major world religious traditions about the status and care of the premature or sick newborn? Few studies have grappled with what major religious traditions teach about the care of the newborn or how these teachings may bear on parents' decisions. This volume seeks to fill this gap, providing information on religious teachings about the newborn to the multidisciplinary teams of NICU professionals (neonatologists, advance practice nurses, social workers), as well as to parents of NICU patients, and students of bioethics. In chapters dealing with Judaism, Catholicism, Denominational Protestantism, Evangelical Protestantism, African American Protestantism, Sunni and Shi'a Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Navajo religion, and Seventh Day Adventism, leading scholars develop the teachings of these traditions on the status, treatment, and ritual accompaniments of care of the premature or sick newborn. This is an essential book that will serve as a first resort for clinicians who need to understand the religious dynamics influencing anyone making a difficult decision about her sick newborn.

Book Description

"Sheer Buffoonery: How Hospitals Kill Patients" is a stunning, no-holds barred expose on the hospital industry. For the first time ever, a nurse exposes the shocking mismanagement, sheer incompetence and raw greed in our nation's hospitals. Let's review just some of the standard buffoonery found in hospitals: You need oxygen but the hospital didn't purchase enough oxygen flow regulators so you'll have to gasp on room air until your nurse manages to find one somewhere. There is no security in a hospital, so the flasher in room 2108 was able to freely walk into your room in the middle of the night and expose himself to you. You got an infection in your incision because the NA wore the same pair of gloves with you that she had on when she dug out the bowel impaction patient in room 2314. In the middle of the night, some male tech wheeled you down to the basement, alone, to give you an enema you didn't need. You desperately need assistance to the bathroom but your nurse is busy in the morgue struggling to shove a dead patient onto one of the slabs. The lab refused to run your crucial lab tests because your Official Patient Stamper Plate Card was misplaced and they didn't want to handwrite in your information. Your nurse wasn't with you when you suffered a massive heart attack because she was at the nurse's station fielding calls from the general public like this: "I feel sick. Do you think I have the flu that's going around?" And last but not least, your incision is going to rip open as soon as you get home because your nurse couldn't find enough steri-strips to apply after she removed your staples."
