What S Up Doc

WHATS UP, DOC? is a series of essays in which DR. DAVID P. KALIN, M.D., M.P.H., answers common questions asked of him with regard to health and medicine during his many years as a family physician. Illustrations combined with these essays extend a broader sense of appreciation not only to the doctor and his relationship with the patient but also of the doctors own creative effort and striving for as sense of balance and expression in life. August 21, 2004 Book Review - Stephen Z. Smith, M.D. WHATS UP, DOC? David P. Kalin, M.D., M.P.H. The Healthplace, P.O. Box 6009, Palm Harbor, FL 34684 ISBN: 1-4010-8801-5 Order: Xlibris Corporation, 1-888-795-4274, www.Xlibris.com, [email protected] An unusual book with an uncommon style, this tight little work of 100 or so pages should be consumed by the medically nave. With thirteen small chapters lighted with frequent bold printing, hand drawn sketches and pithy one liners, this reading favors the quick learn rather than the plodder. Offered as a conversation rather than a lecture, this information has the qualities of attachment and relevance rather than being pedantic. Some questions could be anticipated such as cholesterol numbers, vasectomy side effects, STDs and the like. Other chapters are more sensational in title, like Whats With Those Chinese Balls? Yet these headliners really belie very useful if not folksy descriptions. Probably few physicians will read this without some prodding, but this report stands as one physician telling others to read and remember that direct language registers with patients. Not all of us are comfortable with this brotherly relating to patients, but learning some holistic and other non traditional medicine should be helpful. For a modest price and easy wording, this book can be accepted as worthy for patient consumption.

For Dr Hilary Jones, the question 'What's up doc?' has been asked of him ever since he qualified as a doctor at the Royal Free hospital in London over thirty years ago. As a junior medic patients used to ask him 'What's up?' when he prodded their bellies for signs of appendicitis. On the GMTV sofa presenters ask him 'What's up?' with the latest actress who has developed the typical tell-tale signs of anorexia nervosa. In the tabloid newspapers he's asked to comment on what's up with the premier league footballer who purports to suffer from sex addiction.On the radio he's asked 'What's up?' with the health of society in general, suffering as it does from epidemics of obesity and binge drinking. On a more everyday basis, in the GP surgery people ask him about unexplained lumps in their neck, or whether a pigmented mole is suspicious. Colleagues at work stop him in the corridor and say 'Can I just ask you about my child's leukaemia' or 'My mum's dementia?' At dinner parties people ask him about their haemorrhoids, or in pubs on the various merits of vasectomy. He's even been approached by complete strangers in dimly lit streets eager to hear his take on methadone and whether or not the NHS should freely supply it. And they ask him what Lorraine Kelly is really like, of course...

Before he was the Academy Award-nominated director of The Last Picture Show, Peter Bogdanovich (b. 1939) interviewed some of cinema's great masters: Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, John Ford, and others. Since becoming an acclaimed filmmaker himself, he has given countless interviews to the press about his own career. This volume collects thirteen of his best, most comprehensive, and most insightful interviews, many long out of print and several never before published in their entirety. They cover more than forty years of directing, with Bogdanovich talking candidly about his great triumphs, such as The Last Picture Show and What's Up, Doc?, and his overlooked gems, such as Daisy Miller and They All Laughed. Assembled by acclaimed critic Peter Tonguette, also author of a new critical biography of Bogdanovich, these interviews demonstrate that Bogdanovich is not only one of America's finest filmmakers, but also one of its most eloquent when discussing film and his own remarkable movies.

Riaz Mohammed was born into a Muslim family in Pakistan. While a boy in the village of Gujarat, he witnessed a young boy chasing cattle into a fast-flowing stream. The boy was pulled from the water, but there was nothing that could be done for him-and he died. It was then that the author decided to be a doctor, so he could help people. Eventually, the author and his family immigrated to Scotland. There, he was treated unkindly, but he was determined to navigate his way through life. At age sixteen, he saw a vision of Jesus Christ while at camp. He converted to Christianity, which only made his life more complicated, but he studied hard and became a surgeon. He had started a family of his own and was at the top of his career when he contracted Hepatitis B-and he had to start over again in an entirely new way. Through it all, God worked in miraculous ways to never let him down.
