Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Water on the Moon: A Physician's Memoir of Service from the Vietnam War to Humanitarian Crises Worldwide. Book.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. After struggling through a challenging childhood afflicted with asthma, overcoming dyslexia, and dealing with an abusive father, Frederick "Skip" Burkle was determined to become a physician. Despite the odds, he achieved that goal and then entered the Navy as a draftee. His first assignment was deployment to a combat base in South Vietnam close to the DMZ, one of the most violently contested areas in that war-torn country. Besides treating combat casualties, Dr. Burkle provided humanitarian medical care to local civilians, many of whom were suffering from the wounds of war plus living with a host of tropical diseases. That deployment not only introduced him to Vietnamese culture but also to the type of medicine he would continue to practice for the rest of his career. In this memoir, Burkle shares his story as a pioneer in global disaster medicine. He served in three major wars and multiple country conflicts, and escaped assassination attempts during his position as the Interim Health Minister of Iraq. Burkle's story reveals the challenges of practicing medicine in war-torn areas; he dealt with complex political and power struggles, negotiations, and the poverty-stricken aftermath of conflict. He also shared his skills with health care professionals around the world, earning him a legacy as the "father of disaster medicine."

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Neu. The successful management of emergencies and public health crises depends on adequate measures being implemented at all levels of the emergency chain of action, from policy makers to the general population. It starts with appropriate risk assessment, prevention, and mitigation and continues to prehospital and hospital care, recovery, and evaluation. All levels of action require well-thought out emergency management plans and routines based on established command and control, identified safety issues, functional communication, well-documented triage and treatment policies, and available logistics. All these characteristics are capabilities that should be developed and trained, particularly when diverse agencies are involved. In addition to institutional responses, a robust, community-based disaster response system can effectively mitigate and respond to all emergencies. A well-balanced response is largely dependent on local resources and regional responding agencies that all too often train and operate within "silos", with an absence of interagency cooperation. The importance of this book issue is its commitment to all parts of emergency and public health crisis management from a multiagency perspective. It aims to discuss lessons learned and emerging risks, introduce new ideas about flexible surge capacity, and show the way it can practice multiagency collaboration.
