You Can Stop Humming Now: A Doctor's Stories of Life, Death and in Between , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 366min
Modern medicine is a world that glimmers with new technology and cutting-edge research. To the public eye, medical stories often begin with sirens and flashing lights and culminate in survival or death. But these are only the most visible narratives. As a critical care doctor treating people at their sickest, Daniela Lamas is fascinated by a different story: what comes after for those whose lives are extended by days, months, or years as a result of our treatments and technologies? In You Can Stop Humming Now, Lamas explores the complex answers to this question through intimate accounts of patients and their families. A grandfather whose failing heart has been replaced by a battery-operated pump; a salesman who found himself a kidney donor on social media; a college student who survived a near fatal overdose and returned home, alive but not the same; and a young woman navigating an adulthood she never thought she'd live to see - these moving narratives paint a detailed picture of the fragile border between sickness and health. Riveting, beautifully told and deeply personal, You Can Stop Humming Now is a compassionate, uncompromising look at the choices and realities that many of us, and our families, may one day face. ungekürzt.

Horrifying True Crime Stories: Disturbing True Tales of Murder, Mayhem and the Macabre : Horrific Crimes, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 148min
Real-life is stranger and more frightening than fiction, and this book serves to cement that principal even further. In this compilation, there are 11 cases of some of the most deplorable, unjust and violent crimes I’ve come across. From cannibals to rapists to the sickest, most twisted criminals you’ve not yet heard of, you’ll read about them all in this book. I’ll tell you the story of Rurik Jutting, a British banker living in Hong Kong who held two women hostage, tortured them and raped them over a number of days. You’ll learn about Issei Sagawa, a Japanese cannibal who killed and ate a woman - but walks free on the streets today. Then there’s the vile three-week torture of an Australian woman who, when she was eventually rescued, paramedics initially thought she was dead. You can also read about the ‘Hello Kitty’ murder, which is as bizarre as it sounds - and as equally haunting. But please be warned, the cases in this book are highly disturbing and include graphic and distressing descriptions. Please take this trigger warning seriously as this book depicts horrific crimes that involve sexual abuse, domestic abuse and graphic violence throughout. This book is intended to explore the evil in this world and expose the heinous behavior some people are capable of. Please heed this warning before continuing to listen.

How Sex Works , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 491min
Why are women biologically driven to find Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome? Can more sex help ensure a safe pregnancy? What effect does pornography have on a man's fertility? In this compelling follow-up to the New York Times best seller Survival of the Sickest, Dr. Sharon Moalem takes us on a trip from prehistory to the forefront of cutting-edge medical research, and through a bedroom or two, to tell the story of how human sexuality has developed over time. How Sex Works challenges common perceptions about our bodies and provides astonishing discoveries from the frontiers of science as it traces the transformation of sex across species and through time to its current role in human societies. Find out the answers to such provocative questions as: Can the birth control pill influence the type of men women are attracted to? What do men and honeybees have in common when it comes to sex? Why do hourglass-shaped women tend to be especially fertile? When are women most likely to cheat? Can twins have different fathers? From the composition and function of human sex organs to the fascinating biochemistry behind sexual attraction, How Sex Works presents captivating new ideas and surprising answers to questions about contraception, fertility, circumcision, menopause, STDs, homosexuality, orgasms, and more.

Curable: The Story of How an Unlikely Group of Radical Innovators Is Trying to Transform Our Health Care System , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min
The United States is fast becoming the sickest nation in the Western world. Cancer rates continue to rise. There is an epidemic of chronic disease in children. Even with all the money and modern innovations in science, the country’s health care system is beyond broken. Clearly there is a glitch in the system. But what if the solution has been here all along, and we’ve just been too blind to see it? In Curable journalist and health care advocate Travis Christofferson looks at medicine through a magnifying glass and asks an important question: What if the roots of the current US health care crisis are psychological and systemic, perpetuated not just by corporate influence and the powers that be, but by you and me? An enthralling inquiry into a “moneyball approach to medicine”, Curable explores the links between revolutionary baseball analytics; Nobel Prize-winning psychological research on confirmation bias; wildly successful maverick economic philosophy; the history of the radical mastectomy and the rise of the clinical trial; cutting-edge treatments routinely overlooked by regulatory bodies; and outdated medical models that prioritize profit over prevention. How do we fix it? First we must reframe the conflict between doctors’ intuition and statistical data. Then we must design better systems that can support doctors who are increasingly overwhelmed with the complexity of modern medicine. Curable outlines the future of medicine, detailing brilliant examples of new health care systems that prove we can do better. It turns out we have more control over our health (and happiness) than we think. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Madison Niederhauser.

Tom Horn: The Controversial Life and Legacy of One of the Wild West’s Most Famous Gunslingers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 81min
“You're the sickest looking lot of sheriffs I ever seen.” (Tom Horn)The exploration of the early American West, beginning with Lewis and Clark’s transcontinental trek at the behest of President Thomas Jefferson, was not accomplished by standing armies, the era’s new steam train technology, or by way of land grabs. These came later, but not until pathways known only to a few of the land’s indigenous people were discovered, carved out, and charted in an area stretching from the eastern Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, and the present-day borders of Mexico and Canada.Even the great survey parties, such as Colonel William Powell’s exploration of the Colorado River, came decades later. The first views of the West’s enormity by white Americans were seen by individuals of an entirely different personality, in an era that could only exist apart from its home civilization.In the span of scarcely more than a half century, the West developed from a handful of scattered fur-trapping enterprises - predominantly inhabited by males - to a region full of burgeoning rustic communities, and before the government’s official “closure” of the frontier as a lawless expanse, Western societies were essentially living apart from traditional American rule of law. What judicial structures were at work across the West were erratic, often willing to exercise extremes without evidential justification, and manipulated by major corporate interests of the day, most notably cattle.The latter 19th century brought about both the heyday and decline of that industry, but the modernized and increasingly technology-oriented societies began to bloom while many of the legendary frontier figures were still alive. In some cases, the old and new worlds were able to coexist as the lone wolves and lawmen of the frontier became obsolete as an archetype, but still a part of folklore. Wyatt Earp was the subject of several early motion pictures and lived long enough to cons ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Hare.

Overcoming Lyme Disease: The Truth About Lyme Disease and the Hidden Dangers Plaguing Our Bodies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 278min
Are you struggling with Lyme disease or have undiagnosed symptoms that can't be explained? Learn how you can get back to living a normal life without pain and get the validation that the symptoms aren't just in your head. They are real and they are manageable! In March 2013, Jennifer became deathly ill after a routine dental appointment. At the time, Jennifer didn’t know the correlation between the dental appointment and her declining health. Jennifer’s illness baffled her team of doctors and specialists. In August 2014, Jennifer was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease, after going through four surgeries, and almost died after the first. She was shocked to learn that after two weeks of being treated on antibiotics and now bedridden, all of her doctors claimed that they do not treat Lyme disease and the one doctor who would treat Lyme disease had a three-month waiting list. For many years Jennifer had been using holistic medicine and had developed a close relationship with her semi-retired naturopathic doctor. Jennifer called him while bedridden and that call saved her life. Jennifer created a protocol for herself, with the help of her naturopathic doctor, and started treating Lyme like a cancer, but did so holistically using time-tested healing techniques along with advanced natural therapies. In this tell-all audiobook, Jennifer goes deep into her own experiences of misdiagnosis of Lyme, the struggle she when through to get healthy, and in the process uncovered many hidden coverups in the medical community. She also discovered what is being called "the biggest crime against humanity" because the sickest patients with Lyme can't even get properly diagnosed or disability payments, leaving them to fend for themselves while going untreated. Jennifer shows you how to manage your symptoms, find the right doctors (who will actually help you), and shows how the real truth behind the Lyme disease pandemic. If you have Lyme disease or if you have u ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Heath. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/144657/bk_acx0_144657_sample.mp3.

The Serial Killers: Butchers And Lunatics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 61min
In Volume 3 of my Serial Killers series, The Serial Killers: Butchers and Lunatics, you will be introduced to some of the most vicious and disturbed Serial Killers. In Butchers in Lunatics we are going to explore the crimes and lives of men such as: Ted Bundy, killer of at least 36 woman and perhaps more than 60. Randy Kraft convicted of 16 counts of murder and rape of young men.Herbert Mullin an almost forgotten serial killer from the 1970′s who committed 13 murders. This lunatic believed that his killings would help to prevent earthquakes. Edmund Kemper a six foot nine mountain of a man who was every bit the monster that his size would indicate. His total number of murders may only be in the single digits, but of all the killers that I have read about or written about this is by far the sickest creature of them all. The evil acts that he perpetrated on members of his own family, innocent strangers, the living and the dead marks him as one of the vilest creatures to ever roam the earth. Reading about his crimes may cost you a part of your humanity. He is the reason that this book is titled Butchers and Lunatics.Robert Berdella, the Kansas City Butcher. Kidnapping, torture, rape and murder was the stock and trade of this man for over a decade before his capture. The first name in serial killers and even after a hundred and thirty years Jack The Ripper's crimes are not to be overlooked. These were some of the most vicious murders ever and his reign of terror all but paralyzed the largest city on earth for nearly a year. You have heard of him, but do you really know how bloody those murders were? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tiffany Marz.

The Darkest Jungle: The True Story of the Darien Expedition and America's Ill-Fated Race to Connect the Seas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 565min
The Darkest Jungle tells the harrowing story of America's first ship canal exploration across a narrow piece of land in Central America called the Darien, a place that loomed large in the minds of the world's most courageous adventurers in the nineteenth century. With rival warships and explorers from England and France days behind, the 27-member U.S. Darien Exploring Expedition landed on the Atlantic shore at Caledonia Bay in eastern Panama to begin their mad dash up the coast-hugging mountains of the Darien wilderness. The whole world watched as this party attempted to be the first to traverse the 40-mile isthmus, the narrowest spot between the Atlantic and Pacific in all the Americas. Leading them was the charismatic commander Isaac Strain, an adventuring 33-year-old U.S. Navy lieutenant. The party could have turned back except, said Strain, they were to a man "revolted at the idea" of failing at a task they seemed destined to accomplish. Yet Strain's party would wander lost in the jungle for another sixty nightmarish days, following a tortuously contorted and uncharted tropical river. Their guns rusted in the damp heat, expected settlements never materialized, and the lush terrain provided little to no sustenance. As the unending march dragged on, the party was beset by flesh-embedding parasites and a range of infectious tropical diseases they had no antidote for (or understanding of). In the desperate final days, in the throes of starvation, the survivors flirted with cannibalism and the sickest men had to be left behind so, as the journal keeper painfully recorded, the rest might have a chance to live. Based on the vividly detailed log entries of Strain and his officers, other period sources, and Balf's own treks in the Darien Gap, this is a rich and utterly compelling historical narrative that will thrill readers who enjoyed In the Heart of the Sea, Isaac's Storm, and other sagas of adventure at the limits of human endurance. ungekürzt.
