Fatal Care: Survive in the U.S. Health System~$25.95
Written by Sanjaya Kumar MD
©2008

Each year as many as 98,000 patient deaths occur in the U.S. as a result of preventable medical errors in hospitals. Preventable medical errors alone impact or harm at least 5 million Americans annually, costing more than $17-21 billion. These sobering statistics from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) provide a glimpse into a national crisis that harms or kills hundreds of innocent people each day. But they are only nameless, faceless numbers and can’t illustrate the human cost behind the data. Moreover, they only reveal the problem and not the underlying causes or potential solutions. Fatal Care takes readers behind the statistics and into the lives of those who have experienced, first hand, the impact of what these numbers represent. Their individual stories embody all of the drama and tension found in popular medical series television productions. The portraits of these flesh-and-blood characters and their families will resonate with readers and draw them into the events and their lives. Readers will be reminded of people in their own lives who have had similar experiences. Fatal Care is unique and unlike other healthcare-related books, blending true, real-life dramas that illustrate gaps in the healthcare system with factual information and analysis for healthcare consumers and professionals. Every case in this book brings to life the chain of events that led to mishaps, and proposes solutions to prevent future mistakes and protect future patients. Fatal Care: Survive in the U.S. Health System Publisher: IGI Publishing Available: April 10, 2008

The Most Beautiful Monday in 1961
Written by Ruth F. Brin

"“…an inventive tightly-constructed book which by zeroing in on a single summer day in 1961 in the lives of six 40-something Jewish friends — a psychiatrist, a rabbi, two women who have both loved the same man, and two men who are contentious business partners — has managed to cover all the big issues in contemporary life, the hazards of marriage, the emptiness brought on by the loss of faith, the fear of dying without living a meaningful life. As the story unwinds during the friends’ outing in a cabin cruiser on the Mississippi River, it reads almost like a mystery, drenched in secrets and suspects. We get to know a memorable group of people who linger long in our memories after we have turned the last page. An additional pleasure is to find sexual scenes written with all the tender earthiness of Brin’s namesake, Dr. Ruth herself. A book so engrossing, you will race through it — but the insights and truths revealed in the story will not soon leave you.” ~Phebe Hanson —Award winning Minnesota Poet and Author of “Why Still Dance” "
