Emergency medical services (EMS) personnel are thoroughly trained
and educated in patient care. They put their knowledge and skills
into action at a moment's notice to treat patients' illnesses and
injuries and to save lives. But what happens when EMS practitioners
advance to leadership positions and take on responsibilities beyond
patient care? EMS Supervisor: Principles and Practice provides the
new or aspiring EMS officer guidance in confronting common
challenges faced by those in EMS managerial leadership roles. As an
EMS officer, you will be responsible for operations and
administration, and the ability to manage and lead will be
critically important. EMS Supervisor: Principles and Practice
offers an introduction to creating and maintaining a successful EMS
organization through chapters on managerial leadership, team
building, professional communications, quality improvement,
customer service, strategic planning, crisis management, and
budgeting. Establishing knowledge and authority in these areas is
crucial to success as an EMS officer. The concept of five key
business priorities (5 BPs), reinforced in each chapter, underlines
the primary considerations for EMS officers taking on new
responsibilities-people, strategic objectives, financial management
objectives, learning objectives, and a culture of quality.
Additional features highlight managerial leadership tips, examples
of management decisions in the business world outside of EMS, and
fictional case studies to stimulate discussion of how EMS officers
can resolve challenging situations. EMS Supervisor: Principles and
Practice meets the course outcomes for the National Fire Academy's
Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) Emergency
Medical Services Curriculum Management of Emergency Medical
Services course.

Theirs had been a love story, a story of friendship, courtship and
marriage, beginning when she was seventeen and he was a dashing
Navy officer. It was a fairytale that never ceased-even Alzheimer's
couldn't come between them. Phyllis Brown relives this
one-of-a-kind love she shared with her husband, Bert, in HELP ME
I'm Slipping. According to the Alzheimer's Association, there are
many signs of the disease. The author noticed some of these signs
in her husband, but she completely ignored them at first. A highly
successful businessman, a gentle yet hardworking person who never
stopped until he accomplished his goals, Bert was adept at hiding
his memory loss. But as soon as it was confirmed that he had
Alzheimer's disease, his wife went into action. Phyllis may not
have been well-equipped with medical information and guidelines,
but she was determined to give all her love and support to make the
last years of Bert's life as happy as they could possibly be. HELP
ME I'm Slipping follows the author's difficult yet rewarding
experience as she helps her husband through the uncharted waters of
Alzheimer's. From her journey, she shares lessons that she learned
with her readers. In each day, she found something they could enjoy
together: moments of love, and even fun and laughter. From
strategies for helping her husband maintain his dignity to tips on
activities that can be enjoyed daily, this book provides a truly
inspiring testament to a love that endures.

Live, Laugh, and Love with Dementia is a story of hope and how our
family not only triumphed over the trials and tribulations of
caring for a family member with dementia but how we grew closer to
one another and to God. It was by far the most difficult yet
rewarding time of our lives. I dedicate this book to caregivers
everywhere, especially those caring for a family member with this
horrible disease. This humorous account depicts the realities of
dementia. Our family created coping mechanisms which included
laughter because laughter lowers your blood pressure. It was only
when Mom died that we realized that her seven year struggle with
this terrible disease was meant to teach our family lessons of
hope, faith, perseverance and unconditional love. I felt compelled
to write this book in order to share the legal and medical
information we gleaned along the way. In the end, I believe all we
have is family and it is our responsibility to care for one
another. Today it is believed that 1 out of 2 baby boomers living
to age 85 will have dementia. A minimum of 20% of the net proceeds
from this book will go toward Alzheimer's research in the hope of a
cure.

Mothers of children with special needs feel guilt, sadness, and joy
simultaneously, which is hard to understand. The mothers in this
anthology don't seek pity; instead, they illustrate a complexity of
emotions that start with diagnosis, explore care in both early and
later years, and invite us to witness the aftermath of too-early
deaths of their children. Weaving together essays, poems, and
graphics by mothers of children with a wide range of disabilities,
Jones and Whiteacre have edited a collection that highlights the
challenges and joys of motherhood, exposing both fears and guilty
pleasures as mothers explore their relationships with their
children, partners, families, caregivers, educators, and the
medical community. "An exceptional compilation of writings. This is
very important reading for educators, physicians, therapists and
anyone who works with families of children with special needs. It
will make us laugh and make us cry. And most importantly, it will
open our eyes and help us to understand and support more
effectively." - Dr. Ina Whitman, Neonatologist, St. Vincent Women's
Hospital "In Monday Coffee & Other Stories of Mothering
Children with Special Needs, the authors deal with severe hardships
generated by children who suffer from debilitating conditions that
require constant care and a society in general that grows less
inclined - or financially able if you prefer political correctness
over truth - to help. They all deal with the guilt, frustration,
anger, and pain this struggle causes. Each mother has learned to do
that in her own way and has become stronger. What these narratives
share with us, as readers, is a sense of hope translated into
language through the grace of the actions that created the words.
Do humanity a favor and contribute to a worthy enterprise by buying
this book. Do yourself a favor by reading it." -Jim McGarrah,
award-winning author of A Temporary Sort of Peace and Breakfast at
Denny's "'Special parents aren't chosen, they're made' says Ann
Bremer in an essay from this remarkable book. Forged is more like
it, or annealed perhaps, in a crucible you cannot comprehend unless
you, too, have been the parent of a child with Autism, or Down
Syndrome, or Cerebral Palsy, or any of the other conditions
gathered under the currently-popular sobriquet of 'special needs.'
These haunting essays and poems returned me to the early, dark time
of my son's birth and diagnosis, before I picked my cautious way,
as these authors do, through the ruins of a naive dream of the
perfect, golden family back into gratitude for the families that we
have. There is no Pollyanna hope in this honest, raw book, but the
writing resonates with complex emotions that transcend despair. I
came away with empathy and admiration for the fierce faith and
fortitude of these mothers, who remind me of those in support
groups I joined and founded when my son was in grammar school.
While other parents fretted over invitations to parties and college
applications, we wondered things like, will my child ever say the
word 'Mom'? Who will care for him when I am gone? Who will pay for
that? Who will love him? Or, even, will my child still be alive the
fall of his or her senior year? And yet, somehow, we go on. We go
on by learning to re-frame our visions of perfection. And we go on,
too, because we have each other. And we have books like this one,
to remind us with power and grace how to endure what we sometimes
fear we cannot." -Rebecca Foust, award-winning author of God, Seed,
All That Gorgeous Pitiless Song, and a new manuscript shortlisted
for the Dorset and Kathryn A. Morton prizes
Dr. Ruth, a trusted name in relationship therapy, presents
effective coping strategies for both the practical problems and
emotional stresses of Alzheimer's care. More than 15 million
Americans are responsible for the care of a loved one with
Alzheimer's disease, a situation that can quickly lead to feeling
overwhelmed while trying to balance between the full-time needs of
a dependent adult and the caregiver's own physical and mental
health. The tactics and resources presented in this book build
confidence in the caregiver and provide health-guided advice on how
to avoid burnout, seek support from family and friends, resolve
family disputes, maintain a loving relationship with a spouse or
parent with Alzheimer's, manage behavior, and make the home a safe
environment. Keeping the best interests of everyone involved in
mind, the guide also details how to coordinate effectively with
doctors, facilities, and other care providers.
In Saving Sight, Dr. Andrew Lam explains the intricacies of human
sight and shines a light on the heroes who fought to save it, while
also revealing the personal side of life as an eye surgeon - the
stress and joy of a man who, on his best days, can turn darkness
into light. Many remarkable life stories illuminate this
autobiographical/biographical/historical work. Included are Louis
Braille, Judah Folkman, Harold Ridley and many others who have
enabled us to see in all kinds of unimaginable ways.

This is a book for both caregivers and individuals with Alzheimer's
disease. It offers understanding, hope and practical communication
tools for Alzheimer's patients. The onset of Alzheimer's brings
with it much fear and uncertainty in part because of the loss of
left-brain, speech-oriented communication skills; yet the need to
communicate is present throughout the course of the disease. The
Long Moment explains that much of the breakdown here occurs because
caregivers and patients with Alzheimer's are no longer sharing the
same world or the same shared sense of time. We take for granted
that time has a past, present and future in Earth-reality whereas
on planet Altzair (home of the Alzheimer's mind) there is only a
present tense. To give Alzheimer's patients a voice the book
introduces the idea of the Alzheimer's Cards, simple but powerful
tools for individuals to use at all stages of the disease. It also
suggests that caregivers fully accept the individual with the
disease without evaluation and focus on creating as many quality
long moments as possible. It is written in a light, flowing style
and illustrated with many cartoons, drawings and stories.
Along the Continuum of Care creates a mind shift for the case
manager in the new paradigm to be effective "agents of change" and
"resource connectors." The urgent need to improve health outcomes
is resulting in moment-to-moment changes in the world of case
management. Along the Continuum of Care focus on helping health
care professionals meet the new challenges with Health Care Reform.
Case Managers must educate the senior leadership team about the
financial contributions that result from appropriate care
coordination. The CEO is responsible for the bottom line but the
buck stops with case management and leaders should focus on: *Case
management support for adequate resources. *Ensuring that case
management staff is educated, adequately staffed, and recognized
for managing patient flow which maintains financial stability.
*Recognizing that effective case managers manage the tipping point
to save and/or create millions of dollars for the organization. The
healthcare case management field is exploding. The demand will far
outweigh the supply for the next three to five years and beyond.
The business savvy case manager will lead the field.
