ROLLENWECHSEL
by Basil Porter
ROLLENWECHSEL: Der seriöse Arzt wird zum seriösen Patienten Basil Porter Der Autor, ein Kinderarzt, beginnt sein Buch mit einer Beschreibung seiner lebhaften Erinnerungen an einen schlimmen Fall von Blinddarmentzündung als kleines Kind. Er beschreibt weiterhin eine Reihe schwerer Krankheiten und Traumata, die er als Erwachsener hatte: einen unentdeckten Tumor im Kiefer, ein Zugunglück mit schwerwiegenden Schäden an Wirbelsäule und Nervensystem und dann die unerwartete Entdeckung einer Leukämie, die seine Leidensfähigkeit als Patient auf die Probe stellt. Besonders anschaulich stellt Prof. Porter die zusätzliche Herausforderung dar, die auftritt, wenn der Arzt selbst zum Patienten wird. Er schilderr die erstaunlichen Fortschritte in Medizintechnik und Wissenschaft, die ihm mehrfach das Leben gerettet haben, und macht auf die mangelnde Empathie der Fachleute aufmerksam, die er auf seinem Krankheitsweg so häufig verspürte. Als Arzt wurde von ihm häufig erwartet, dass er seine Probleme toleriert und tapferer ist als ein Durchschnittspatient. In Wirklichkeit ist der Arzt in solchen Situationen auch nicht mehr als ein Patient. Der Autor legt nahe, dass ein Großteil der Lösung in jedem von uns liegt und dass eine positive Einstellung zum Leben und eine gute soziale Unterstützung viel dazu beitragen können, dass wir Schwierigkeiten überwinden. Dieses Buch ist kein Lehrbuch für die Ärzteschaft, sondern das erzählerische Geständnis eines Oberarztes, der aus Sicht des Patienten mit mehreren Prüfungen im Leben konfrontiert war. Basil Porter ist ein Kinderarzt mit langjähriger Erfahrung in der akademischen Medizin und im Management von Gesundheitssystemen. Er ist emeritierter Professor an der Fakultät für Gesundheitswissenschaften der Ben-Gurion-Universität des Negev in Israel. Er ist außerdem ein versierter Geiger und Bratschist.

This is a new edition of a standard reference text, and contains key breed information about cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, horses, asses and buffalo. It contains approximately 9000 entries and cross-references on breeds, sub-breeds, types, varieties, strains and lines of these species. The aim is to include all the livestock names that may be encountered in international literature. Each entry includes the current recommended English name, region or country of origin, notes on usage, followed by a brief physical description of the breed, in terms of colour/markings, horns, and coat type. There is a description of the relationship with other breeds or types, and historical notes about the origin of the breed, plus details of breed societies, and herdbooks where relevant. Finally, foreign names and synonyms are listed, to aid identification. The book has been thoroughly updated since the 4th edition was published in 1996. Revisions have been undertaken by Valerie Porter, a well-respected author of more popular works on animal breeds.

CHANGING ROLES
The Serious Physician becomes a Serious Patien
by Basil Porter
The author, a pediatrician, begins his book with a description of his vivid memories of suffering from a bad case of appendicitis as a young child, He proceeds to describe a series of serious illnesses and trauma that affected him in his adult life: a missed tumor in his jaw, a train accident resulting in major damage to his spine and nervous system, and then the unexpected discovery of leukemia, all of which test his endurance as a patient. But what Prof. Porter so vividly presents is the additional challenge faced when the doctor becomes the patient. While stressing the amazing advances in medical technology and science that saved his life on a number of occasions, he draws attention to the lack of empathy from the professionals felt so frequently during his medical trials. As a physician, he has been frequently expected to tolerate his problems and to be a braver warrior than the average patient, when in reality, in such situations the doctor is still just a patient. The author suggests that much of the solution lies within each of us, and that a positive approach to life and good social support can do much to help us through adversity. This book is not a textbook for the medical profession, but rather the narrative confession of an senior physician who has had to face multiple testing experiences from the viewpoint of the patient. Basil Porter is a pediatrician with years of experience in both academic medicine settings and health systems management. He is an emeritus professor of the Faculty of Health Sciences of Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. He is also an accomplished violinist and violist. 184 pages, 13.5X20.5 Cm Click the following link to view the related article: https://www.ima.org.il/FilesUpload/IMAJ/0/271/135527.pdf

Business, Economics & LawDecember 2020Women before the court
Law and patriarchy in the Anglo-American world, 1600–1800
by Lindsay R. Moore
Women before the court offers an innovative, comparative approach to the study of women's legal rights during a formative period of Anglo-American history. It traces how colonists transplanted English legal institutions to America, examines the remarkable depth of women's legal knowledge and shows how the law increasingly undermined patriarchal relationships between parents and children, masters and servants, husbands and wives. The book will be of interest to scholars of Britain and colonial America, and to laypeople interested in how women in the past navigated and negotiated the structures of authority that governed them. It is packed with fascinating stories that women related to the courts in cases ranging from murder and abuse to debt and estate litigation. Ultimately, it makes a remarkable contribution to our understandings of law, power and gender in the early modern world.
