I’m a bibliophile. Next to collecting mid-century furniture, books are my passion, so imagine my joy when the publisher of this book asked me to write a review for my blog. Consider this my disclosure. I didn’t pay for this book…but I would have because it’s that good. The Post Traumatic Insomnia Workbook by Karin Elorriaga Thompson, PH.D and C. Laurel Franklin, PH.D gives nurses the tools they need to help patients suffering from PTSD. Patients with PTSD generally have sleeping disorders and this book gives concrete, step by step instructions and exercises that will help patients work through their issues. I just sent in an article to NursingLink today about PTSD. I’ll put up a link wh...

The second book I review is written by fellow blogger and e-patient superstar, Dave deBronkart. First I read the story of Dave years ago, and actually, he is now included in my Internet in Medicine university accredited course. I describe his story to my students as he is THE example of how e-patients can leverage the potential advantages of web 2.0. His recent book, Laugh, Sing, and Eat Like a Pig, How an empowered patient beat stage IV cancer (and what healthcare can learn from it) is just fantastic. 1) I’m sure it’s a golden mine of information for patients dealing with similar health issues; 2) it’s more than useful for doctors who really want to know ...

Now three of his friends wrote essays about this important issue: We who’ve worked on it hope it will provoke thought about how healthcare is changing because of what e-patients can contribute, empowered as individuals and enabled by the internet. To start that process, we’re publishing the introduction. Three friends and mentors generously offered introductory essays. These essays they have little to do with my story, and everything to do with how e-patients can help heal healthcare: Part 1, by Dr. Danny Sands: Putting Informatio...

It’s a website that lets you keep track of the books you’ve read, books you want to read, and books you’re currently reading. Users create profiles and can login to rate and review books and keep track of reading lists; it’s also a social network site, so you can see what your friends are reading, what they like, and even create online reading groups. And best of all, it’s free.

I’m glad the first book I mention is The Decision Tree by Thomas Goetz, the executive editor of Wired Magazine. I met Thomas during last year’s Science Foo Camp event and he has a unique vision about how healthcare should work. The starting point of the book is that healthcare is one of the few fields where people don’t exactly know what kind of choices they have, how they can make a decision based on facts and reliable information. It’s obvious that they have to be able to access such information so then they can make the best possible decisions (by using properly designed decision trees). The Decision Tree is one of (if not) the best health-relat... ScienceRoll blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3294751 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 01:11:20 +0100 3294751
