Product Description
Like many an exclusive club, the medical profession subjects its prospective members to rigorous indoctrination: medical students are overloaded with work, deprived of sleep and normal human contact, drilled and tested and scheduled down to the last minute. Difficult as the regimen may be, for those who don’t fit the traditional mold–white, male, middle-to-upper class, and heterosexual–medical school can be that much more harrowing. This riveting book tells the tales of a new generation of medical students–students whose varied backgrounds are far from traditional. Their stories will forever alter the way we see tomorrow’s doctors.
In these pages, a black teenage mother overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds, an observant Muslim dons the hijab during training, an alcoholic hides her addiction. We hear the stories of an Asian refugee, a Mexican immigrant, a closeted Christian, an oversized woman–these once unlikely students are among those who describe their medical school experiences with uncommon candor, giving a close-up look at the inflexible curriculum, the pervasive competitive culture, and the daunting obstacles that come with being “different” in medical school. Their tales of courage are by turns poignant, amusing, eye-opening–and altogether unforgettable.

Electronic Health Records, a foundational course in Health Information Management or Health Information Technology programs prepares students to understand and use electronic records in a medical practice. Gartee’s, first of its kind, “how to” text is designed to train future users of EHR programs, to document patient exam, diagnosis, orders, and coding. It contains screen shots, exercises and activities to provide a complete learning system. Written for everyone in the office who will touch the electronic medical record, course material is suitable for medical and nursing schools, allied health career schools, universities, community colleges and continuing education programs. ABOUT THE SOFTWARE : The Student CD that accompanies the book, can be networked, used for distance learning, or purchased individually or as a val pak with the book. The software does not come bound in the book. Instructors will receive a copy of the Medcin Software which is bound into the instructors manual by contacting their local representative. The Medcin Student Edition Software may be value packed with Richard Gartee’s Electronic Health Records – ISBN: 0131564862 for $10.0 0 more than the price of the text or as a stand alone Student CDROM – ISBN:0131789376 available from Prentice Hall. The software is multi-user allowing students to work simultaneously and keep work separate. Exercise print outs generated from Medcin automatically include the student’s login name or ID. Medcin is the licensed core technology in many prominent EHR Systems. 10 out of 15 EHR systems for medical offices use Medcin nomenclature as the technology underlying commercial EHR systems. Students therefore are more likely to apply skills acquired in this course to an EHR application in their office. * All work is printed and no exercises require saving.* All exercises are designed to be completed during a normal class time.* Printers use a standard Windows system.* For distance learning, the software allows the student to “Print to HTML” which will output the exercise document into a file that can be emailed.

Reviews of the previous editions
“The more familiar I have become with this book, the more I appreciate the clear presentation and unthreatening prose. It is now a valuable companion to my formal statistics course.”
–International Journal of Epidemiology
“I heartily recommend it, especially to first years, but it’s equally appropriate for an intercalated BSc or Postgraduate research. If statistics give you headaches - buy it. If statistics are all you think about - buy it.”
–GKT Gazette
“…I unreservedly recommend this book to all medical students, especially those that dislike reading reams of text. This is one book that will not sit on your shelf collecting dust once you have graduated and will also function as a reference book.”
–4th Year Medical Student, Barts and the London Chronicle, Spring 2003

Because They’re Dogs!
That’s why dogs drink out of the toilet.
That’s why they bark when you’re on the phone, smell each other’s behinds, go crazy when they see the letter carrier, jump up to say hello and roll in stuff that stinks.
Everything they do makes perfect canine sense to dogs. And after you read Why Do Dogs Drink out of the Toilet?, it will make perfect sense to you, too. Award-winning pet experts Dr. Marty Becker and Gina Spadafori take you on a trip into the canine mind. And it’s not at all a scary place. . . .
Dogs live to smell, to feel good, to clarify their relationship with other dogs (and with us), to love, to laugh. When you start looking at the world their way, everything falls into place. Of course they drink out of the toilet—the water is fresher. Sniffing another dog’s behind is just like reading their resume, except you know nothing is made up. Barking at the letter carrier makes him go away—every single time! And rolling in stinky stuff just smells like heaven. (Because what smells heavenly is, after all, a matter of taste.)
The better you understand dogs, the easier it is to love the pooch on your couch. Find out why hunting dogs don’t mind suppressing their basic instinct, how assistance dogs for the blind get their job done, why little dogs like to mix it up with big dogs, and everything you always wanted to know about canine sex but were afraid to ask.
You’ll also find the answers to questions that tend to tickle your curiosity: How do dogs get into dog shows? Which breeds are made in America? Do some dogs really have dreadlocks? Do all dogs need a backyard? How did Lassie always find her way home?
You’ve got questions? This book’s got answers.
