She listened to her patients’ stories, left food out for their pets, and turned off the stove under their oxtail stews. Once, she read half a poem left in a dead woman’s typewriter.

Its subject is Eli G. Rochelson, MD (1907?1984), author Meri-Jane Rochelson's father. At its core is Eli's story in his own words, taken from an interview he did with his son, Burt Rochelson, in the mid-1970s. The book tells the story of a man whose life and memory spanned two world wars, several migrations, an educational odyssey, the massive upheaval of the Holocaust, and finally, a frustrating yet ultimately successful effort to restore his professional credentials and identity, as well as reestablish family life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEli's Story\u003c\/i\u003e contains a mostly chronological narration that embeds the story in the context of further research. It begins with Eli's earliest memories of childhood in Kovno and ends with his death, his legacy, and the author's own unanswered questions that are as much a part of Eli's story as his own words. The narrative is illuminated and expanded through Eli's personal archive of papers, letters, and photographs, as well as research in institutional archives, libraries, and personal interviews. Rochelson covers Eli's family's relocation to southern Russia; his education, military service, and first marriage after he returned to Kovno; his and his family's experiences in the Dachau, Stutthof, and Auschwitz concentration camps?including the deaths of his wife and child; his postwar experience in the Landsberg Displaced Persons (DP) camp, and his immigration to the United States, where he determinedly restored his medical credentials and started a new family. Rochelson recognizes that both the effort of reconstructing events and the reality of having personal accounts that confirm and also differ from each other in detail, make the process of gap-filling itself a kind of fiction?an attempt to shape the incompleteness that is inherent to the story. In the epilogue, the author reminds readers that the stories of lives don't have clear chronologies.

Her marriage of more than thirty years was suffering, and she was   virtually immobilized by fear and anxiety. As the daughter of parents who both died   before she was thirty, Stern was terrified of illness and death, and despite the   fact that her acclaimed career as a food and travel writer required her to spend   a great deal of time on airplanes, she suffered from a persistent fear of flying   and severe claustrophobia. Yet, this fifty-two-year-old writer decided to become an emergency medical   technician. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStern tells her story   with great humor and poignancy, creating a wonderful portrait of a middle-aged, Woody   Allen–ish woman who was “deeply and neurotically terrified of sick and dead people,”   but who went out into the world to save other people’s lives as a way of saving her   own. Her story begins with the boot camp of EMT training: 140 hours at the hands   of a dour ex-marine who took delight in presenting a veritable parade of amputations,   hideous deformities, and gross disasters. Jane—overweight and badly out of shape—had   to surmount physical challenges like carrying a 250-pound man seated in a chair down   a dark flight of stairs. After class she did rounds in the emergency room of a local   hospital.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Each call Stern describes is a vignette   of human nature, often with a life in the balance. From an AIDS hospice to town drunks,   yuppie wife beaters to psychopaths, Jane comes to see the true nature and underlying   mysteries of a town she had called home for twenty years. Throughout the book we   follow her as she gets her sea legs, bonds with the firefighters   who become her colleagues, and eventually, comes to be known as Ambulance Girl.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46156895256753,"sku":"9781400048694","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo","offer_id":46156895289521,"sku":"8cc9f2bd-519a-44fb-87e0-8be63ee106bd","price":7.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_6bdd14dd-1326-4706-8c0e-ab8734a0e770.jpg?v=1764384454"},{"product_id":"mountains-beyond-mountains","title":"Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest Of Dr. Paul Farmer, A Man Who Would Cure The World","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e BESTSELLER • “[A] masterpiece . . . an astonishing book that will leave you questioning your own life and political views.”—\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“If any one person can be given credit for transforming the medical establishment’s thinking about health care for the destitute, it is Paul Farmer. . . .

Hanomansing talks to them about what inspired them to become doctors and what led them to specialize in infectious diseases and then take on this very public role.The doctors discuss the moment the pandemic became very real to them and speak candidly about what it was like when infections raged out of control in Italy and then New York City, leaving doctors at Canadian hospitals to wonder what might be next. And they explain the sense of duty they felt to step into the media glare, even as public anxiety and skepticism sometimes turned into hostility and social media made them easy to contact and, sometimes, easy targets. And for anyone who’s been asked to offer their expertise to the media, they have advice on how to answer the call.There are a few silver linings in the COVID storm. One of them is how these doctors put science front and centre and became public symbols of trust and hope. As they prepare to return to their private careers, they respond to Hanomansing’s invitation to reflect on lessons learned and their concerns about the next pandemic.All author royalties from sales of the book will go to UBC’s Centre for Health Education Scholarship.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46160329834673,"sku":"9781771622929","price":22.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo","offer_id":46160329867441,"sku":"628b8896-ed89-3799-a90d-23efe7808649","price":12.79,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_8012c9f3-1f83-4306-8414-efa420e4ba87.jpg?v=1763138134"},{"product_id":"do-no-harm","title":"Do No Harm: Stories Of Life, Death, And Brain Surgery","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNamed a Notable Book of the Year by \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is it like to be a brain surgeon?

When I see patients in the hospital or in my office  who are suddenly, surprisingly ill, what they really want to know is, ‘What is wrong  with me?’ They want a road map that will help them manage their new surroundings.  The ability to give this unnerving and unfamiliar place a name, to know it—on some  level—restores a measure of control, independent of whether or not that diagnosis  comes attached to a cure.

She presents an unflinching  look inside the detective story that marks nearly every illness—the diagnosis—revealing  the combination of uncertainty and intrigue that doctors face when confronting patients  who are sick or dying. Through dramatic stories of patients with baffling symptoms,  Sanders portrays the absolute necessity and surprising difficulties of getting the  patient’s story, the challenges of the physical exam, the pitfalls of doctor-to-doctor  communication, the vagaries of tests, and the near calamity of diagnostic errors.  In \u003ci\u003eEvery Patient Tells a Story\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. Sanders chronicles the real-life drama of doctors  solving these difficult medical mysteries that not only illustrate the art and science  of diagnosis, but often save the patients’ lives.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46163413401777,"sku":"9780767922470","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo","offer_id":46163413434545,"sku":"7b0ab375-4156-426c-a287-22fa53ecbc5a","price":13.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_0e68786e-fa06-405a-8c10-e385ca64a62b.jpg?v=1764393687"},{"product_id":"green-wood-and-chloroform","title":"Green Wood And Chloroform: How A Young English Doctor Settled In Rural Maine","description":"Like  many new general practitioners in the 1950s, Dr. Anthoy Betts faced few real opportunities under the new British National Health Care system.

Lindsey Fitzharris’s \u003ci\u003eThe Facemaker \u003c\/i\u003etells the extraordinary story of such an individual: the pioneering plastic surgeon Harold Gillies, who dedicated himself to reconstructing the burned and broken faces of the injured soldiers under his care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGillies, a Cambridge-educated New Zealander, became interested in the nascent field of plastic surgery after encountering the human wreckage on the front.

There, Gillies assembled a unique group of practitioners whose task was to rebuild what had been torn apart, to re-create what had been destroyed. At a time when losing a limb made a soldier a hero but losing a face made him a monster to a society largely intolerant of disfigurement, Gillies restored not just the faces of the wounded but also their spirits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Facemaker\u003c\/i\u003e places Gillies’s ingenious surgical innovations alongside the dramatic stories of soldiers whose lives were wrecked and repaired.

So did Victoria Sweet, who came for two months and stayed for twenty years.\u003cbr\u003e     Laguna Honda, relatively low-tech but human-paced, gave Sweet the opportunity to practice a kind of attentive medicine that has almost vanished.

Diagnosed with hemophilia at birth, Ryan contracted HIV through contaminated blood products. In 1985, he became a household name after he was barred from attending his Indiana middle school. As Ryan appeared on nightly news broadcasts and graced the covers of popular magazines, he was embraced by music icons and well-known athletes, achieving a curious kind of stardom. Analyzing his struggle and celebrity, Paul M. Renfro’s powerful biography grapples with the contested meanings of Ryan’s life, death, and afterlives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Renfro argues, Ryan’s fight to attend school forced the American public to reckon with prevailing misconceptions about the AIDS epidemic. Yet his story also reinforced the hierarchies at the heart of the AIDS crisis. Because the “innocent” Ryan had contracted HIV “through no fault of his own,” as many put it, his story was sometimes used to blame presumably “guilty” populations for spreading the virus. Reexamining Ryan’s story through this lens, Renfro reveals how the consequences of this stigma continue to pervade policy and cultural understandings of HIV\/AIDS today.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple (2024)","offer_id":46167850221745,"sku":"9781469680859","price":33.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Couverture souple (2023)","offer_id":46167850254513,"sku":"9781501769849","price":51.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Couverture rigide (2024)","offer_id":46167850287281,"sku":"9781469680842","price":133.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Couverture rigide (2023)","offer_id":46167850320049,"sku":"9781501769832","price":195.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo (2024)","offer_id":46167850352817,"sku":"b19359ca-2bc5-3c71-917a-bd698cb68fbf","price":22.39,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo (2023)","offer_id":46167850385585,"sku":"7667af6b-d278-3246-a1d1-585c18835217","price":30.39,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_4ccaef33-b6c5-4224-b82c-30c6fa822f87.jpg?v=1764393111"},{"product_id":"butgod","title":"#butGod: The Power of Hope When Catastrophe Crashes In","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Sir, your sons have been in a car accident.
