The great influenza : the true story of the deadliest pandemic in history
\"The strongest weapon against pandemic is the truth. Read why in the definitive account of the 1918 Influenza Epidemic, adapted for young readers from the #1 New York Times bestseller. At the height of World War I, history's most lethal influenza virus erupted in an army camp in Kansas, moved east with American troops, and then exploded worldwide, killing as many as 100 million people. It killed more in twenty-four months than AIDS killed in twenty-four years, more in a year than the Black Death killed in a century. It killed many more people than COVID-19, especially those who were young and otherwise healthy. This book, adapted from the #1 New York Times bestseller first published in 2004, shows young readers how this global tragedy came to pass; how science, war, and public policy collided; and how we might be able to prevent it from happening again. Impeccably researched and engrossingly told, The Great Influenza provides young readers with historical and scientific context for epidemics that remains all too relevant today\"-- Provided by publisher.

The Capacity Conundrum in Emergency Medicine
• Patients are presumed to be capable of making choices for themselves, unless proven otherwise; the physician is required to determine incapacity. • Capacity is essential for valid consent for medical care and treatment. • Capacity is NOT a test result, diagnosis, or score on an assessment tool. • Capacity involves the process of decision making and does not depend on the specific choice that is made. • Capacity assessment focuses on the specific abilities that a patient requires to make a decision about a specific situation. • People who are capable can make rational decisions that are based on their values and goals, as well as on their knowledge and understanding of the issues they face. Capable people can identify and accept risks. • Capacity is not one ability that people have or do not have. People employ different abilities to make different types of choices. Capacity is specific to the task. • Assessment of capacity is domain-specific; six recognized domains are healthcare, nutrition, clothing, shelter, hygiene, and safety. Patients may have capacity in one domain but they may lack capacity in another. • Assessing capacity requires considering the whole person — it is not related to an illness, a diagnosis, or a living situation. Being homeless, being a resident of a long-term care facility, or abusing drugs or alcohol does not automatically render a patient incapable of medical decision making. • Assessment of capacity relates to two ethical principles: the need to balance autonomy (self-determination) and beneficence (protection). • Incapacity often is reversible. Illnesses and intoxications can temporarily impair capacity. Patients can regain capacity on recovery.
