To Act as a Unit: The Story of the Cleveland Clinic

Tracing the history of the Cleveland Clinic from its start as a small not-for-profit group practice to being the world's second largest private academic medical center, this medical history tells one of the most dramatic stories in modern medicine. Starting on the battlefield hospitals of World War I, this details how the clinic achieved medical firsts, such as the discovery of coronary angiography and the world's first successful larynx transplant, improved hospital safety, and met the challenges of the 21st century to be ranked among the top five hospitals in America. This text not only recounts the history of the clinic but presents a model for other not-for-profit organizations on how to endure and thrive.

Family Relationships

How prepared are you for a family health disaster—that leaves you alone with responsibilities you had never imagined—or thought you could handle. 
Herb and Berenice Kleiman are partners in love, marriage, and in business. For thirty-eight years they worked together, traveled the world, and raised a family. Now they were discovering the joys of spoiling their grandchildren. They were always there for each other. 
They’ve shared the same cultural interests and life goals. For example, for decades, every July, they attended The Shaw Festival in Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario. The festival was a passion and often they would see a half dozen plays in a few days. They had everything. 
All that came to a cataclysmic end on the morning of July 14, 2001 when Herb seemingly began to suffer a stroke and their lives, especially Bernice’s were turned upside down. As Herb symptoms became more acute, Berenice knew that every decision she made was critical to his survival. 
Should she try to find a small local hospital —that might not have what Herb needed? Should she drive three hours home to The Cleveland Clinic where the finest medical care was available? 
This heart wrenching, page turning story is not only about the race to save Herb’s life but, as importantly, Berenice’s fight to overcome the intricacies and challenges of today’s modern health care system that every caregiver or potential caregiver must know. Their lives had changed in an instant and this can happen to anyone.

Many books about disease promise cures. Sufferers often go from one book to another without getting better. Between 10 and 20 percent of Americans of all ages will suffer from some sort of arthritis. Despite hundreds of prescription and over-the-counter products that target "the aches and pains of arthritis," it is frequently misunderstood. There are dozens of types of arthritis, some serious and life-threatening. Figuring out what type of arthritis a person has is key to the treatment and overall risk of disability a patient may have. This guide provides a straightforward and clear examination of arthritis and serves as a complete home reference for anyone.

This title features real stories of people with facial differences - people whose faces are disfigured as a result of cancer, trauma, or a birth defect. Unlike other disabilities, a facial difference not only affects how one is viewed by others but also how one views him or herself, since so much of our "immediate" identity is wrapped up in appearance. This book explores what it's like to try and live an ordinary life behind an extraordinary face. Although there are commonalities in every story, such as stares, and ridicule, each person faces unique challenges and realizes different outcomes. Each journey is an adventure and each person's story leaves the reader with nothing less than a sense of wonder. The stories in this book include viewpoints of not only the people affected by a facial difference, but also their family members. Peppered among these dramatic stories are chapters on medical and scientific advances, the history of facial plastic surgery, and face transplant.

More than 20 million Americans have thyroid disease, most of them women. In fact, 2 percent of all women will suffer from thyroid disorder at some point in their lives. The thyroid is important because it produces two hormones that help regulate metabolism and control the speed of all cellular activity in the body. So what happens when this small, butterfly-shaped gland malfunctions, and how can it suddenly seem to turn against us? Many people don't even realize when it happens. Often a "silent" problem, thyroid disease affects an estimated 2 million people who are undiagnosed. This guide gives thyroid disorder patients what they need most: substantive information from an authoritative source that is trusted by people over the world. It outlines what anyone must do to reduce their risk of thyroid disorders; for those who have been diagnosed, it outlines successful treatments.
