and determined clan, many of them doctors, they are struck one by one with an inscrutable illness. They finally discover the cause of the disease after a remarkable sequence of events that many saw as providential. Meanwhile, science, progressing for a half a century along a parallel track, had handed the Baxleys a resolution--not a cure, but a blood test that would reveal who had the gene for the disease and who did not. And science would offer another dilemma--fertility specialists had created a way to spare the children through an expensive process. 2017.By Russell Martin. 1987

won the Stanley Cup in 40 years for a perfectly logical reason: they have the crappiest players; it's time the law put hockey's most violent offenders in something more restrictive than the penalty box; and Slovakia, not Canada, just may be the greatest hockey nation on Earth. 2007.By Anadi Martel. 2016

world's emergency rooms. From Toronto to Addis Ababa, Cambodia to Bolivia, he discovers that although the cultures, resources and medical challenges of each hospital may differ, they are linked indelibly by the ground floor: the location of their emergency rooms. Here, on the ground floor, is where Dr. Maskalyk witnesses the story of "human aliveness"--our mourning and laughter, tragedies and hopes, the frailty of being and the resilience of the human spirit. And it's here too that he is swept into the story, confronting his fears and doubts and questioning what it is to be a doctor. Bestseller.

Dans l'esprit de tous, la relation entre patient et médecin est simple et naturelle : l'un demande des soins, l'autre…
les lui prodigue. La réalité est souvent très différente. Soigner est peut-être naturel quand il s'agit de nos proches, mais les professionnels de la santé n'ont souvent ni la formation ni la motivation pour exercer dans les conditions adéquates. Un peu partout, le monde médical reste marqué par une culture peu propice au souci et au respect de l'autre. Certaines attitudes médicales peuvent même être maltraitantes, en particulier à l'égard des femmes. S'appuyant sur des exemples tirés des contextes français et québécois, Zaffran a voulu aller au fond de cette question, qu'il a souvent abordée dans ses différents ouvrages : comment la relation entre patient et médecin peut-elle cesser d'être un rapport de force et devenir, pleinement, une relation de soin - c'est à dire d'entraide, de soutien et de partage. 2014.By Karl Sabbagh, Rob Buckman. 1993

cannot be an effective leader. The one action verb most frequently missing from various manifestos on leadership is love. In Love Leads Dr. Steve Greene shares real-life examples, principles, and exhortations of the love of a leader. You will discover what it looks like to lead with love-is there a process of love' is tough love really love'-and you will view leadership as it's never been seen before as Dr. Greene dispels the myths and misconceptions many have come to accept about leadership. The real-life principles in this book are fully supported throughout by the actions of God who "so loved that He gave," leading you to see with new insight that the true essence of leadership is love.

In the early 1900s, a host of professional, minor-pro, senior, junior, and college leagues competed across the continent. More than…
a decade remained before the Stanley Cup would become the sole property of the NHL. In this era, it was a challenge cup, and it seemed as though every Canadian town--big or small--had a fair shot at the big prize. In these pre-NHL days, four teams from the Maritimes took up the challenge, competing for what was, even then, hockey's biggest prize. The 1900 Halifax Crescents club was followed in 1906 by the New Glasgow Cubs, in 1912 by the Moncton Victorias, and in 1913 by the Sydney Millionaires. 2012.By Catherine McNiel. 2017
