Story
Of the three physicians at the Battle of the Little Big Horn, Doctor George Edwin Lord (1846–76) was the lone commissioned medical officer, an assistant surgeon with the United States Army’s 7th Cavalry. A Life Cut Short at the Little Big Horn tells Lord’s story for the first time. Notable for its unique angle on Custer’s last stand and for its depiction of frontier-era medicine, the book is above all a compelling portrait of the making of an army medical professional in mid-nineteenth-century America.

Broeder Joep vertelt eerlijke, ontroerende en grappige verhalen uit de ouderenzorg. Joep van Poorten werkt als verzorgende in een verpleeghuis in Eindhoven, met (veelal) bewoners met dementie.

In dit boek neemt Joep de luisteraar mee de afdeling op en zijn leven in. Kijk mee over zijn schouder en ontdek hoe bijzonder, aangrijpend en soms zwaar, maar ook leuk en grappig werken in de zorg kan zijn.
