What They Didn’t Teach You at Medical School


Book Description

During medical training there are certain tasks that are not taught at medical school nor in the common reference books. There are some skills that medical students are expected to learn by ‘osmosis’. These skills are never officially taught or examined in medical school, but are, however, a fundamental part of being a safe, good and efficient doctor. This book includes ‘golden rules’ or important points to remember and case examples, both of which are given as displayed extracts. This book will help the junior doctor unlock their potential and improve their performance, cutting the time it takes to achieve certain medical objectives. It is meant to fill in the gaps where the medical school and clinical guides stop. It gives the reader the information needed to organise themselves so that they can hit the ground running. It is not intended as a clinical survival guide, but more a friendly hand to allow the reader to get ahead in medicine and how to keep on track and develop a career path.




Everything They Don't Teach at Harvard Medical School


Book Description

In the past ten years, we have had many books on health and nutrition simply replicate the themes in "The Zone Diet" by Barry Sears, which changed the way we think about carbohydrate and our health. "Everything They Don't Teach at Harvard Medical School" uncovers exactly and specifically how the molecule we call fat is made in the body in a way a teenager can understand. The support for the design on how fat is made comes not from Okinawa, The French Riviera, or South Beach, but from little known secrets in the animal kingdom. Why didn't any book ever answer how fat was made? It would solve so many problems! Cattle raising has already been the cause of 90% of the South American rainforest destruction. Most low carbohydrate book are sending out the wrong message. This work recaptures the progressive spirit of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring", which launched the environmental movement. "Where have been the breaking discoveries in science and medicine this decade?", the New York Times asks. It has been nearly two decades since "The Zone" illustrated how insulin stores body fat. Unfortunately, caloric theory still remains in every major hospital and medical school. As Mark Twain once wrote, "A lie well-told is hard to kill." "Everything They Don't Teach at Harvard Medical School" solves this controversy. The book is the first to break the fat code, hermetically and decisively, overturning both cholesterol and caloric theories.
