Pool: It's Mental. It's Physical. It's Mystical.
Once a player masters the basics of pool, mental aspects become paramount. Even expert players are plagued by the game's mental demands. I look at the game from the point of view of the player striving to improve his/her game faced with the importance of the mental aspects of playing before spectators, competitive and performance stress, as well as strange and mystical occurrences within the confines of the green abyss of a pool table. I explore and interpret ways these mental and metaphysical aspects of the game operate in all players.

Requiem for Doctor Edward Browne.
When Dr. Browne’s partner retires, his practice is taken over by Dr. Forbes Q. Hazzig, who becomes a zealot for a ‘managed care revolution’ of ‘marketplace medicine.’ Browne and his associate Dr. Kennes receive irrational, discordant information from healthcare experts, consultants and economists, a mystery to be solved. Browne learns that rhetoric of a mass movement must be as erroneous as possible promising a vague, glorious future. Hazzig grows immensely rich and gains enormous power relying on intimidation and coercion.
Joanna Browne’s exhibition of J.M.W. Turner becomes a thrilling success, yet Hazzig’s wife succeeds in eliminating Joanna’s position at East Valley Museum of Art. Joanna must accept a position at a distant university; her absence devastates Browne.
Browne and Kennes discover managed care was based on a Washington bureau hoax, the ‘health maintenance strategy’ of 1973: an irrational mass movement, a mass hysteria. Hazzig plots to humiliate and ruin the two doctors; each threat goes awry. Hazzig is discredited; his illusory wealth collapses.
Reunited with Joanna, Dr. Browne receives a disturbing invitation to return to East Valley to be recognized with Dr. Kennes for their efforts to expose the folly of managed care.

Captain Noon! Captain Noon! Procrastination Considered as One of the Fine Arts.
Young adult fiction.
Captain Noon, in his last year at college, sleeps till noon. He dreams of being a pilot. Time and opportunities slip away in procrastination. The narrator, his father, recalls his own father’s instructions, “play for keeps,” and the head of his high school “hoe-out your row.” Get on with it. Finish what you do. A distant cousin A thorn in the side of members of the family, Nora lives alone and has a stroke. She is the family historian collecting clippings about members of the family in her Death Bible. Comfortable Berkeley liberals, a man in an electric wheelchair takes a ‘pitch’ in the rain, a pitcher for the Giants, neighbors, Berkeley’s contraband dog hair, and the fancy of the Triple Z Squadron, the Triple Z Airlines in peacetime, fill out the story. Thomas De Quincey says: “If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think of robbing, and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination.”

Trust in a Medical Setting.
"Gaining a patient's trust, or trust of a patient's family, may seem to be a given, but achieving trust is a fragile, individual, hazardous endeavor. In an era of distrust of institutions and professions, the patient must trust the staff of doctors, nurses, and therapists before a working therapeutic relationship can be established."

The Circus of Medicine.
Managed care, based on a hoax out of Department of Health, Education and Welfare in the early 1970s, became an irrational mass movement, a national hysteria that must fail with many tragically hurt. Satire.

Managed Care: Anatomy of a Mass Medical Movement.
"The author documents that despite promises of managed care zealots, we have a sad healthcare landscape of crippled academic medical centers, dissatisfied patients, uninsured, chronically ill and elderly citizens, and demoralized physicians: with NO cost savings. Managed care produced, however, 'monetarization' of medicine, multi-million dollar consulting firms, and Wall Street riches. Dr. Smith wisely reminds us that the best way to care for patients is 'care for the patient.' It is not too late to rediscover that the most cost effective care is that which is competent and compassionate." James W. Raitt, MD

The Rise and Fall of Managed Care: A Comprehensive History of a Mass Medical Movement.
"Dr. Smith has given us a very readable but chilling chronicle of the rise and fall of the managed care era in medicine, [and] it's demise in an avalanche of greed and bankruptcy. [The] tragic legacy of this ill-conceived plan: disgruntled patients, uninsured citizens, demoralized physicians, and crippled academic medical centers. All this with the burden of increased costs, as major resource went not to research of patient care, but to administration, regulation, and stockeholders. Fortunately, the public has finally boecome aware of the failure of the mistaken social experiment."

CRS: Computer-Related Syndrome: The Prevention and Treatment of Computer-Related Injuries. Richard Dean Smith, MD and Steven T. Garske, MS, PT.
The computer workstation must be considered a potentially hazardous place. Computer keyboard workers are akin to armchair athletes subject to the same stresses and injuries experienced by athletes. Our purpose is to alert keyboard workers to early warning signs, explain how to best arrange workstations, provide both preventive and therapeutic exercises, and enable workers to 'train' for computer keyboard work. With drastic cutback of workers compensation insurance benefits, prevention and early intervention is especially important.

Melville's Science: "Devilish Tantalization of the Gods!"
"I have given an outline of what awaits readers of the following pages because I wanted to indicate the breadth of knowledge that has gone into this book. There is more, I might add, because this is the type of book that suggests as much as it defines. Melville's relationship with science ranks him with many other literary figures of the nineteenth century, for example, Coleridge, the Shelleys, Bryant, Poe, Hawthorne, and Tennyson. Melville also adumbrates a twentieth-century writer like Frost, whose skeptical stance he probably would have admired. As has been the case when scientific contexts are brought to bear on the writings of these authors (and many more: Chaucer, Shakespeare, Browne), stimulating readings come forth. Dr. Smith furnishes us with plenty of those kinds of readings." Benjamin F. Fisher, Series Editor's Preface.

Melville's Complaint: Doctors and Medicine in the Art of Herman Melville.
"Dr. Smith's book provides a succinct critical overview of Melville's physician and pseudo-physician characters, as well as his views on medicine—undeniably important elements throughout his writings. We come away from a persual of the following pages with an image of a Herman Melvillee, who, implicitly, at least, much resembles Sir Thomas Browne in his efforts to square science with humanism. Dr. Smith, an M.D., brings to Melvile's Complaint a fine knowledge of the history of medicine and doctors and to that he adds thoughtful observations based on his own careful readings in Melville's works. His command of pertinent secondary materials is also great. He takes us on a fascinating journey of revaluaton, when, after setting forth his aims in an informative introduction, he guides us through the Melville canon." Introduction: Benjamin F. Fisher

Trust: A Shock to the System: A Practical Guide.
Trust concentrates on behavior and its management in a medical setting. 'Street wisdom come to the bedside.'

Rise and Fall of Managed Care: History of the Mass Medical Movement.
Since the early 1970s, rising medical costs resulted in a profusion of healthcare plans and criticism of the profession of medicine: a confusing, chaotic, divisive setting for providing medical care. Little or no communication took place between those who purchased medical insurance plans and those who provided medical services—physicians, dentists, hospitals, and other providers. Promotion of managed care plans took on an excited, carnival atmosphere generating promise that a glorious, new era was approaching.
Since doctors order most medical care, managed care proponents emphasized the importance of controlling practices of doctors. They claimed extensive changes were needed, that almost any criticism against the profession of medicine was warranted. Enterprising economists, entrepreneur consultants and a host of others became self-styled experts and advisers to hospitals and businesses over the issue of "cost containment" and invented the imperative "runaway costs." Accusations leveled against physicians by advocates of managed care were puzzling, disturbing, and frustrating. We were told that "managed care is what's out there," "business likes managed care," and managed care is "here to stay." The new ethic became marketplace competition, cost containment, prevention, and control.
Although most doctors at one time objected to the idea of managed care, rising sentiment against regular fee-for-service practice eventually took its toll to the point many physicians became convinced that it was up to doctors to make managed care work. Corporate benefits managers at first were opposed to the notion of managed care, but gave in to pressure from corporate management.
Managed care advocates created fear, uncertainty, and division by telling physicians that the only possibility of survival in "changing climate of health care" was to "embrace" managed care. Economists and politicians charging outright criminal activity by all physicians became the norm. Doctors and public were told that a new age had dawned, the old order was out, we had better get on board or be left behind. By declaring managed care an "unassailable truth," managed care was propelled into a revolution, a mass movement. Yet, physicians who "embraced" managed care found themselves in an ethical and practical bind.
Enthusiasm that led to the managed care mass movement followed the same course as other mass movements—a restructuring of medical care was called for, the old was suddenly outdated, a "crisis" proclaimed, a social transformation declared!
