Internal Medicine

Artificial Intelligence in Medicine will show you fresh perspectives on healthcare transformation in patient care, investment strategies, innovative leadership approaches, potential startup opportunities, avenues for job creation, and collaborative prospects that can amplify passion, personal evolution, and professional development.

This book is about real-world experiences, personal stories, and visions written by 15 physicians across multiple specialties that sheds light on the unseen intricacies of artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, natural language processing, and its ethics in healthcare.

Readers will look behind the scenes in each medical specialty to understand what really happens when they or their loved ones interact with the healthcare system–when they see a doctor, are admitted to the hospital, come for treatment, or face restrictions and protections related to public or occupational health.

Doctors from obstetrics/gynecology, rheumatology, hematology, oncology, gastroenterology, anesthesiology, emergency medicine, psychiatry, public health, occupational medicine, internal medicine, pathology, dermatopathology, plastic surgery, hospitalists, clinical trialists, researchers, and entrepreneurs review future applications of AI relevant to their specialty.

This book is for those who seek inspiration, vision, options for investments in different medical disciplines, and a deeper understanding of change and hope through the alignment of humans and machines.

The future of healthcare isn’t man versus machine; it’s man and machine together in a symphony of healing.

The COVID vaccine has caused more injuries than all other vaccines combinedin the history of modern medicine – yet highly-regarded 3-letter government organizations fail to communicate this critical information to the public. Instead, they convince doctors to administer the vaccine . . . persuade patients to receive it . . . and lie to those who question it. Yet the casualties are real.

Take Kyle Warner, for example: a healthy 29-year-old professional mountain biker, who quit riding after his COVID vaccine due to the onset of pericarditis and reactive arthritis – similar to numerous otherwise healthy young adults who suffered from myocarditis, stroke, and more. Or consider the 50-year-old man who went from healthy to handicapped. Or ponder the hundreds of thousands of senior citizens who, post-jab, couldn’t maintain their balance, suffered from heart failure, and developed other serious illnesses.

When Deanna Kline, a USAF Veteran and nurse with more than 35 years of experience, began encountering numerous patients suffering from COVID vaccine injuries, she was shocked when uncovering the staggering number of adverse events resulting from a single vaccine – numbers that seemed to be carefully hidden from the public eye.

Written in clear, easy to understand language, Kline shares the stories of real people who suffered myriad adverse vaccine events, to educate the public and put an end to the ridicule aimed at those who speak out against this dangerous vaccine. It is her hope that, armed with powerful information, you will be equipped to make informed decisions about a controversial vaccine that has ruined – and ended – the lives of far too many individuals.

In the words of Ken Ruettgers, Ph.D. College Professor of Sociology and Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame Inductee: “Kline provides an honest and transparent look behind the medical curtain of COVID-19 vax reactions and the fallout from a failed policy that devastated hundreds of thousands of people that trusted our medical and governmental institutions. A real eye-opener!”

HIGHLY COMMENDED (POPULAR MEDICINE) AT THE BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION’S BOOK AWARDS 2014

In days gone by, people understood that a knock to your health takes its toll on your emotions, your relationships, your morale, your ‘spirit’. But these days, we think that if the doctor has waved you off, then you are ‘better’. We neglect what scientific studies show is a vital element of recovery: the emotional side of getting better. As a result, many of us struggle with hidden issues such as depression, stress and anxiety long after a health crisis. This new book, from the authors of The Cancer Survivor’s Companion (highly commended by the BMA and winner of the Guild of Health Writers’ Best Health Book 2012) centres on the crucial, research-based (but widely overlooked) truth that ‘getting better’ is not just about the body – emotions play a huge part. Often, a person’s emotional state is the one thing stopping them from a full recovery.

Contents include: Why getting better takes time; why relaxation and exercise are both vital; how to build your confidence and tackle low mood and depression; how to eat for recovery; how to deal with medical advice and communicate well with your doctor; how to keep family life and relationships on track and much more. There are also case histories to inspire readers as well as fascinating snippets from times gone by which help to make this an entertaining as well as a highly practical, inspiring read.

Medical qigong is one of the four main branches of Chinese medicine, and it is the energetic foundation upon which the others (acupuncture, herbal medicine, and medical massage) are based. Medical qigong and tai chi exercises are becoming more popular, but there are few books that discuss how they can be used to help address specific disorders. This book is the first medical qigong book that does not simply introduce a set of exercises that are a part of a general qigong routine. Rather, the exercises provided are those prescribed to patients at qigong hospitals in China. Medical qigong doctors and Chinese medicine hospitals have used these exercises for hundreds of years and yet they are relatively unknown in this country. The first half of the book introduces medical qigong theory from a modern Western scientific perspective as well as from the traditional Daoist and Chinese medicine perspectives, so that the reader will understand why and how medical qigong exercises work. The second half is practical exercises for self-healing. The book introduces guidelines for selecting appropriate exercises, and then the exercises themselves. There are general tonification (strengthening), purgation (sedating), and regulation exercises for health maintenance, followed by sections on specific organ and health disorders. This book targets health care practitioners as well as “patients,” meaning anyone interested in taking an active role in the healing process.

“Know O beloved reader that it is most important to spend one’s time and energy in treating the heart, and hastening to correct and purify it from sickness and all sins. This is due to the heart occupying a great and lofty position in Islaam, for it is the place to which the Lord looks and the storehouse for tawheed, faith, and sincerity. Actions are distinguished, one from the other, with respect to their excellence in the Sight of Allah in accordance with the condition of the heart, not by their number or form, but rather due to the strength of the caller, his or her truthfulness, his or her sincerity and the extent to which he or she prefers Allah over himself or herself.

Over the last ten years there has been a quantum leap in our understanding of the mechanisms which drive Parkinson’s disease. Frustratingly, this new research has not yet managed to infiltrate mainstream medical and public perceptions of the illness, where Parkinson’s disease is still seen purely as a dopamine deficiency condition. It is hoped that this book will give the reader an accessible insight into these exciting new discoveries.
What is becoming clear is that Parkinson’s disease is a complex multi-factorial disease where many ill-functioning aspects of health intersect leading to a failure of dopamine producing neurons. To seek a single cause amongst such complexity is likely to be futile but, hopefully, the themes in this book may help the reader to see the emergent patterns associated with Parkinson’s disease.
