Author: Dennis Palmer, DO, and Catherine E. Wolf, MD
Publisher: Christian Medical & Dental Associations 458 pages, spiral bound |
This comprehensive guide is the Washington Manual and Harriet Lane Handbook for medical personnel working in low-resource nations. Written in outline form, it contains essential management information for the most common infectious diseases, HIV/AIDS, internal medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN, surgery, and ophthalmology problems encountered in international medical service.
C. Everett Koop, MD, former Surgeon General of the United States, reviewed the book and wrote, "Medical service in developing countries poses tremendous challenges, ranging from diagnosing and treating unfamiliar diseases to bridging culture and communication chasms. Having traveled extensively and served overseas, I can assure you that you need all the help you can get. This excellent volume offers a convenient resource packed full of technical and practical information to help you meet the challenges of overseas healthcare. It provides you with the opportunity to "consult" with skilled and experienced doctors who have successfully faced these challenges. Keep this booklet on hand at all times and refer to it often. It can help you avoid common mistakes, develop effective treatment plans, and save lives. I highly recommend it."

| MEDICAL MISSIONS: READY, SET, GO! |
|
Authors: Bruce Steffes, CEO, Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons
Publisher: Steffes Publishing, 2009 196 pages, paperback |
This unique, faith-based book is based on the premise that experiencing medical missions is not like other short-term or long term mission experiences. In addition to all of the usual stresses that all missionaries experience in a new environment, trying to practice medicine the way you have been taught in a world where you have so little is very difficult. You will often get blind-sided when you least expect it. You can minimize the pain you will feel and increase your effectiveness if you take the advice in this book. It is designed to make you think about the situation and your possible reaction before it happens. This book is full of the insights (spiritual, philosophical and practical) needed by you who are considering medical missions. Some of the material is revised from the popular preceding Handbook for Short-Term Medical Missionaries but in addition, there are 10 new stories from Dr. Steffes' personal experiences in medical missions. The stories are sometimes humorous, sometimes sad and on occasion, embarrassing. They all demonstrate what God is able to teach you and how He can work with and through you. If you are interested in what God might have to say to you about becoming a medical missionary, this is just the book. It is also a great way for non-medical people to understand the particular stresses that medical missionaries face every day. If you are a short-term missionary, it is the perfect-sized book to slip into your pocket and take with you to the mission field.

| THE SPIRIT CATCHES YOU AND YOU FALL DOWN |
|
Authors: Anne Fadiman
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Girous: New York, 1997 352 pages, paperback |
The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down explores the clash between a small county hospital in California and a refugee family from Laos over the care of Lia Lee, a Hmong child diagnosed with severe epilepsy. Lia's parents and her doctors both wanted what was best for Lia, but the lack of understanding between them led to tragedy. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Current Interest, and the Boston Book Review Rea Award for Non-fiction, Anne Fadiman's compassionate account of this cultural impasse is literary journalism at its finest.
