Produktbeschreibung
The Mystery in the Room vividly captures the real-world challenges-and quiet victories and defeats-faced by both doctor and patient in the realm of complex immune system diseases. This is not merely a book about rare diseases, though it is indeed filled with fascinating and perplexing medical cases. It is, more than anything, a book about people-and about the doctor who never stopped trying to understand them. Dr. Chuck Radis has given us a gift: stories from the frontlines of medicine, told not from the head of the exam table, but from the heart. This book speaks to all of us-as patients, as caregivers, and as human beings-viewed and beautifully described from the other side of the bed rail. Some stories unfold like gripping medical mysteries; others are deeply human narratives that remind us that even when the diagnosis is clear, the path forward can be fraught with emotional and ethical complexity. These moments, and many more, are poignantly and honestly portrayed throughout the book. The Mystery in the Room embodies the human values essential to both care and caring: the importance of curiosity and wonder in solving difficult medical problems, and the necessity of empathy-genuine, felt empathy-in every patient interaction. Whether you are a patient (as we all are at some point), or a healthcare professional seeking insight into how science and humanism must come together in the care of the sick, you will find this book both moving and illuminating.
Autorenporträt
Following his internal medicine training, Dr. Radis and his family moved to Peaks Island off the coast of Maine. His first two books, Go by Boat, and Island Medicine capture the challenges of a medical practice on the Casco Bay islands where he relied on his physical exam skills and a tackle box of medications to manage his patients on more than 100 house calls each year. Dr. Radis eventually left his Peaks Island practice for a fellowship in rheumatology at the University of Pittsburgh's Presbyterian Medical Center but returned to Peaks Island, where for more than three decades he has commuted year-round by boat to his mainland rheumatology practice. Since co-founding the Maine-African Partnership for Social Justice with Dan Crothers MD in 2013, his public health work has focused on South Sudan and Uganda where he has collaborated with Solo Schools in an innovative First-Aid course and partnered with the Massachusetts General Hospital in a week-long traditional birth attendant program. His non-profit supports a South Sudanese Women's group and Youth Group within the United Nations refugee settlement in Northern Uganda. In recognition of his commitment to public health, Dr. Radis has been named both the Louis Hanson Maine Physician of the year and Professor of the Year at the University of New England, College of Osteopathic Medicine.
