At age thirty-eight, Jonathan Gluck, a new father with a promising journalism career, was shocked to learn he had multiple myeloma, a rare, incurable blood cancer. He was told he had eighteen months to live. That was more than twenty years ago. Gluck isn’t just something of a medical miracle. He’s also part of a growing population. Thanks to revolutionary medical advances, many cancers and other serious illnesses are no longer death sentences but chronic diseases people can often live with for years.

As her career progressed, she found herself taking notes on scraps of paper, backs of gloves, and margins of EKG printouts. She read about the history that brought ambulances into their current role as the caretakers of society’s forgotten, and spoke to her colleagues about their own experiences and perspectives. Those reflections are collected here, in a series of raw, powerful essays about the state of American medicine.

La lecture pince-sans-rire de Jean-Marc Galéra donne vie aux tribulations d'un légiste attachant. Michel Sapanet manie le scalpel, l'écarteur et l'humour à froid. Une nécessité dans son métier : il est médecin. Mais aucune chance qu'il guérisse ses patients, ils sont déjà morts. Le travail du légiste s'apparente plus à celui de l'enquêteur : faire parler la victime. Et pour cela il inspecte les chairs, les cœurs, les cerveaux. Sa vie, c'est la mort. Il la côtoie, la tutoie, lui extirpe la vérité. Pour nous la livrer dans ses saisissantes chroniques.

Six weeks before her eighth birthday in May of 2024, my granddaughter Paige Schilling was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Paige underwent a 14-hour brain surgery at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The tumor was successfully removed and Paige began a lengthy period of rehabilitation. During this time, Paige received so many gifts from friends and family that her father considered renting a storage unit. Instead of giving her another stuffed toy, I decided to write letters to Paige. The letters describe real events from my own life beginning from a time before television existed.

Elke bevalling kan positief zijn en dat is precies wat verloskundige Geke Born wil vertellen. Met Goed bevallen schreef zij een boek waar elke (aanstaande) ouder enorm veel kracht en motivatie uit kan halen. Voor veel ouders behoort een zwangerschap en bevalling tot de meest indrukwekkende ervaringen in hun leven. Geke Born begeleidde als verloskundige honderden bevallingen en vraagt zich af hoe het toch komt dat we elkaar vooral de negatieve ervaringen vertellen.
