During his two terms as the 40th president of the United States, Ronald Reagan kept a daily diary in which he recorded his innermost thoughts and observations on the extraordinary, the historic, and the routine occurrences of his presidency. To read these diaries--now compiled into one volume by noted historian Douglas Brinkley and filled with Reagan's trademark wit, sharp intelligence, and humor--is to gain a unique understanding of one of our nation's most fascinating leaders.

1st Edition

This is the first edition collected tweets of Mark B. Reid, MD, @medicalaxioms. This project began in 2010 as place to share pithy quotes from famous old dead doctors. After running out of good content, I was forced to start making my own. Through the last 7 years, we've engaged in a jolly dialogue on the social media on topics ranging from common diagnostic mistakes to why it's good for a doctor to have a dog. While all the content is mine, it's richness comes as a result of the exchange between me and many other smart medical types on social media. This collection offers an inside look at medical education for students and residents and the observations of a doctor in practice for 20+ years. The statements within are not medical advice and should not be used to practice medicine, make medical decisions, or judge physicians or other healthcare workers. No axiom is true in all circumstances. Medicine is by it's very nature non-binary-there is seldom one right answer for a given situation. The treatment that is good for one patient may easily kill another. Thus the practice of medicine should be left to trained experts who combine book learning, current medical literature, years of supervised training and personal experience to engage in a complicated but maximally effective practice based on medical judgment. It is far easier to judge a single medical decision than to practice good medicine, day in and day out, for years. As you read you will find contradictory statements-sometimes two aphorism directly oppose one another. This is the practice of medicine. We must sometimes hold two contradictory statements in the mind at the same time, hanging on to two competing hypotheses until one or the other becomes more correct. I hope you enjoy these aphorisms but if you find one you don't like or you think you could write better, by all means do so! The instructions are contained within to send me edits and your own aphorisms. It's my intention that reading this book would be an active, not passive, process. It should get you thinking about the rules you use in your practice and their exceptions. I hope it makes you think about how you were taught and what you learned and how you teach others. It is intended to be interactive and I hope you don't agree with everything you read. There is much more style than evidence in a day of seeing patients.

Finding Calm in a Chaotic World





The Anxious for Nothing Study Guide provides individuals and small groups with a roadmap for overcoming anxiety and finding lasting peace.

Do you feel weighted down with worry Does the uncertainty and chaos of life keep you up at night Are irrational fears your constant companion Could you just use some calm

In this five-session video Bible study (DVD/digital streaming sold separately), bestselling author Max Lucado explores in detail God's treatment plan for anxiety found in the most underlined verse in the Bible, Philippians 4:6-7.

As you follow the biblical prescription for anxiety--celebrating God's goodness, asking for his help, leaving your concerns with him, and meditating on good things--you will learn how to experience God's peace. This is a peace that "transcends all understanding" and will help you reframe the way you look at your fears.

With the heart of a pastor and his poetic storytelling, Max will help you:

 * Let God help you win the war on worry and receive the lasting peace of Christ.
 * Recognize the difference between present anxiety and persistent anxiety.
 * Find true freedom and experience more joy, clarity, physical renewal, and contentment by the power of the Holy Spirit.
 * Train yourself to rejoice in all circumstances.
 * Discover the secret of remaining calm when you feel you have more than you can handle.
 * Know how to encourage a friend and help them navigate anxiety and fear with real help from God's Word.

While anxiety is a part of life, it doesn't have to dominate your life. You can discover a life of calm and develop tools for combating the onslaught of worry.

Sessions include:

 * Rejoice in the Lord Always
 * Let Your Gentleness Be Evident to All
 * Present Your Requests to God
 * The Peace of God Will Guard Your Heart
 * Meditate on These Things

The American Diabetes Association/JDRF Type 1 Diabetes Sourcebook serves as both an evidence-based reference work and consensus report outlining the most critical components of care for individuals with type 1 diabetes throughout their lifespan. The volume serves not only as a comprehensive guide for clinicians, but also reviews the evidence supporting these components of care and provides a perspective on the critical areas of research that are needed to improve our understanding of type 1 diabetes diagnosis and treatment. The volume focuses specificallyon the needs of patients with type 1 diabetes and provides clear and detailed guidance on the current standards for the optimal treatment of type 1 diabetes from early childhood to later life.

To accomplish the book's editorial goals, Editors-in-Chief, Drs. Anne Peters and Lori Laffel, assembled an editorial steering committee of prominent research physicians, clinicians, and educators to develop the topical coverage. In addition, a Managing Editor was brought on to help the authors write and focus their chapters.

Healthcare economics is a topic of increasing importance due to the substantial changes that are expected to radically alter the way Americans obtain and finance healthcare. Understanding Healthcare Economics, 2nd Edition provides an evidence-based framework to help practitioners comprehend the changes already underway in our nation's healthcare system. It presents important economic facts and explains the economic concepts needed to understand the implications of these facts. It also summarizes the results of recent empirical studies on access, cost, and quality problems in today's healthcare system.







The material is presented in two sections. Section 1 focuses on the healthcare access, cost and quality issues that create pressures for change in health policy. The first edition was completed just as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was debated and passed. This new edition updates the information about access, cost, and quality issues. It also discusses the pressure for change that led to the passage of the PPACA, evidence that shaped the construction of the act, evidence on the impacts of the PPACA, and evidence on the pressures for future changes.







Section 2 focuses on changes that are underway including: changes in the Medicare payment system; new types of healthcare delivery organizations such as ACOs and patient-centered medical homes. It also discusses the current efforts to help patients build health such as wellness programs and disease management programs. And finally, health information technology will be discussed.







The new edition will maintain the current structure; however each chapter will be updated to discuss post-PPACA evidence on each type of type. In addition to the updates previously mentioned, the authors will present a series of data explorations to several chapters. Most of the new data explorations present summarized statistical information based on de-identified data from one hospital electronic data system. These data explorations serve two purposes. First, they illustrate the impacts of the pressures for change - and some of the changes - on healthcare providers. For example, the data illustrates the financial impact of pre-PPACA uncompensated care. Second, explanation of the data will require explanations of standard coding systems that are used nationwide (DRGs, CPT, ICD) codes. Other data explorations provide detail about other sources of data useful for health policy analysis, and for healthcare providers and insurers.
