Surgical Nursing And Technique A Book For Nurses Dressers House Surgeons Etc Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Surgical Nursing and Technique a Book for Nurses, Dressers, House Surgeons, Etc Some small Share in awakening authorities to this crying injustice, and in the amelioration we see coming to the nursing profession in both directions. The Short chapter on nursing in military hospitals has been omitted, as it only dealt in the barest and most perfunctory method with the subject, and no useful purpose would be served by retaining it now. Plates Of the tetanus bacillus and the Bacillus perfringens, which gained such an unenviable notoriety during the war, with short descriptions of them, have been added. Inasmuch as the treatment of the septic wounds of war made such enormous advances, we may expect in the future a great improvement in the treatment of the septic wounds of peace, such as arise from accidents of various kinds, and the bearing of aseptic technique upon these, derived from the war's experience, has been emphasized on many occasions in this edition. I have also introduced the latest informa tion on wound shock, which engaged the attention Of so many investigators during the war, and have drawn attention to its bearing on the incidence and treatment of operative shock and shock following the accidents of civil life. A few modern instruments have been intro duced, and plates of those going or gone out of use have been omitted, and the book has been generally brought up to date. The war has, as might have been expected, furnished great opportunities for surgery, and surgeons and nurses alike will revert to the practice Of civil surgery better equipped in many particulars for the exercise of their calling. I have endeavoured to in dicate these in the present edition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Surgical Nursing and Technique a Book for Nurses, Dressers, House Surgeons, Etc The second edition of this book was sold out in half the time that it took to dispose of the first. This is gratifying when it is remembered that it occurred during a time when surgical effort was directed to channels of antiseptic rather than aseptic surgery, to acquiring knowledge of the technique required to sterilize wounds already septic rather than of preventing the access of infection to wounds, which is what this work is designed to deal with. The first was the goal of the treatment of the wounds of war made by the enemy; the second is the goal of the treatment of the wounds of peace made by the surgeons knife. The first deals with cure, the second with prevention. Both require as their foundation a sound knowledge of the causes and means of introduction of infection. Neither can be strictly separated from the other. An intimate knowledge of sepsis, with all its horrors and dangers and attendant disabilities, acquired during the late war should make aseptic technique, which can now happily come into its own again, more thorough and exacting if possible than ever it was before. This emboldens me to place yet a third edition of this book, dealing chiefly with modern surgical aseptic technique, before my readers. A feature of the second edition, noticed by almost every reviewer, was my strong condemnation of the long hours worked by nurses in hospitals, and the inadequate remuneration they received.

Named one of Vulture’s Top 10 Best Books of 2020! Leftist firebrand Fredrik deBoer exposes the lie at the heart of our educational system and demands top-to-bottom reform. Everyone agrees that education is the key to creating a more just and equal world, and that our schools are broken and failing. Proposed reforms variously target incompetent teachers, corrupt union practices, or outdated curricula, but no one acknowledges a scientifically-proven fact that we all understand intuitively: Academic potential varies between individuals, and cannot be dramatically improved. In The Cult of Smart, educator and outspoken leftist Fredrik deBoer exposes this omission as the central flaw of our entire society, which has created and perpetuated an unjust class structure based on intellectual ability. Since cognitive talent varies from person to person, our education system can never create equal opportunity for all. Instead, it teaches our children that hierarchy and competition are natural, and that human value should be based on intelligence. These ideas are counter to everything that the left believes, but until they acknowledge the existence of individual cognitive differences, progressives remain complicit in keeping the status quo in place. This passionate, voice-driven manifesto demands that we embrace a new goal for education: equality of outcomes. We must create a world that has a place for everyone, not just the academically talented. But we’ll never achieve this dream until the Cult of Smart is destroyed.
