Protect Yourself As A Patient - Know What You Need To Do For A Safe Healthcare Experience

We all assume that going to the hospital will help us recover from an illness or injury. Going to any facility where a lot of other sick people are treated, however, can result in patients actually getting worse before they get better, simply because they “catch” someone else’s infections. Spread by healthcare workers as they move from sick patient to sick patient, or by visitors who may have touched unclean surfaces in the hospital before going into a patient’s room, these healthcare-acquired infections are difficult and costly to treat.

What most people don’t know is that healthcare acquired infections are preventable. Written by Dr. Maryanne McGuckin, an expert in infection prevention with 35 years of experience, The Patient Survival Guide (Demos Publishing), will lead us from being a patient at risk, to one knowledgeable about the simple precautions one must take to avoid easily preventable healthcare-acquired infections.

Dr. Maryanne McGuckin’s career spans several faculty and staff positions at the University of Pennsylvania.  She most recently was a member of the Senior Scholars / Senior Fellows program with the Health Policy Department at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. Toni L. Goldfarb is president of TLG Publications, a medical communications firm.

Boost Your Physical and Emotional Healing Abilities

Dr. David Knighton has some remarkable insights about wounds and our ability to heal ourselves. “We've all been wounded,” he writes. “But, paradoxically, wounding is probably our greatest stimulus for health. As we heal, we grow.”

A recipient of the 2012 Nautilus Silver Award that recognizes books promoting spiritual growth, conscious living and positive social change, Dr. Knighton, a leading expert on wound healing, delves even deeper into the mystery of human nature with his new book The Wisdom of the Healing Wound: A New View on Why We Hurt & How We Can Cure Even the Deepest Physical and Emotional Wounds(Health Communications, Inc).

“The goal in working with wounds of any kind — from the physical to the emotional to the spiritual — is to restore structure and function,” Dr. Knighton says. “That is the healer’s role. Ultimately, The Wisdom of the Healing Wound is about being human — about living fully as body, mind, and spirit. More importantly, it is about the powerful, transformative, and often surprising ways we can heal and thrive in the face of our wounds.”

In addition to profoundly effective ideas for promoting and supporting your own physical, psychological, and spiritual healing, the book reveals fascinating research data on a new type of stem cell Dr. Knighton and his research team call “wound-derived stem cells.” Like other stem cells, they may be able to differentiate into any kind of cell and revolutionize the healing process.

“Life is full of wounds–physical, emotional, and spiritual. The wounded psyche and spirit heal in much the same manner as physical wounds,” Dr. Knighton explains. “It's what gives the book a universal appeal.” People in 12-step recovery groups, people facing surgery or who have physical wounds that are slow to heal, people with emotional trauma or PTSD, military and abuse victims and the healing professionals who work with all these types of wounds are sure to see the usefulness of The Wisdom of the Healing Wound.

Dr. David Knighton has achieved the highest standards in his several careers as a doctor, researcher and academic. While at medical school at the University of Illinois, he worked on cancer research at Harvard Medical School. His subsequent work in general surgery, trauma surgery and vascular surgery formed a foundation for his groundbreaking advances in wound care. He founded the Wound Healing Clinic at the University of Minnesota in 1987 which became a prototype for such clinics across the country. His research successes encompass many patents and hundreds of papers and articles for scholarly journals.

“I hope this book will help people understand how wounds serve, support, and teach people,” Dr. Knighton concludes. “I want readers to see wounds, healing, and health in a new and life-affirming way.”
