Hot Lights, Cold Steel

Hot Lights, Cold Steel

Michael J Collins

St Martin's Press
2006
pokkari
When Michael Collins decides to become a surgeon, he is totally unprepared for the chaotic life of a resident at a major hospital. A natural overachiever, Collins' success, in college and medical school led to a surgical residency at one of the most respected medical centers in the world, the famed Mayo Clinic. But compared to his fellow residents Collins feels inadequate and unprepared. All too soon, the euphoria of beginning his career as an orthopedic resident gives way to the feeling he is a counterfeit, an imposter who has infiltrated a society of brilliant surgeons. This story of Collins' four-year surgical residency traces his rise from an eager but clueless first-year resident to accomplished Chief Resident in his final year. With unparalleled humor, he recounts the disparity between people's perceptions of a doctor's glamorous life and the real thing: a succession of run down cars that are towed to the junk yard, long weekends moonlighting at rural hospitals, a family that grows larger every year, and a laughable income.Collins' good nature helps him over some of the rough spots but cannot spare him the harsh reality of a doctor's life. Every day he is confronted with decisions that will change people's lives-or end them-forever. A young boy's leg is mangled by a tractor: risk the boy's life to save his leg, or amputate immediately? A woman diagnosed with bone cancer injures her hip: go through a painful hip operation even though she has only months to live? Like a jolt to the system, he is faced with the reality of suffering and death as he struggles to reconcile his idealism and aspiration to heal with the recognition of his own limitations and imperfections. Unflinching and deeply engaging, "Hot Lights, Cold Steel" is a humane and passionate reminder that doctors are people too. This is a gripping memoir, at times devastating, others triumphant, but always compulsively readable.

Blue Collar, Blue Scrubs

Blue Collar, Blue Scrubs

Michael J Collins

St Martin's Press
2010
pokkari
It looked for a while as if Michael Collins would spend his life breaking concrete and throwing rocks for the Vittorio Scalese Construction Company. He liked the work and he liked the pay. But a chance remark by one of his coworkers made him realize that he wanted to involve himself in something bigger, something more meaningful than crushing rocks and drinking beer. In his acclaimed first memoir, Hot Lights, Cold Steel, Collins wrote passionately about his four-year surgical residency at the prestigious Mayo Clinic. Blue Collar, Blue Scrubs turns back the clock, taking readers from his days as a construction worker to his entry into medical school, expertly infusing his journey to become a doctor with humanity, compassion, and humor. From the first time he delivers a baby to being surrounded by death and pain on a daily basis, Collins compellingly writes about how medicine makes him confront, in a very deep and personal way, the nature of God and suffering--and how delicate life can be.

An Umbrella of Lies: Second EditionAvailable in both Color and Black & White EditionsFor over 60 years, the world has been deceived. The assassination of John F. Kennedy was not the act of a lone gunman but a military-style operation-a sophisticated, choreographed event, covered up using advanced cinematic deception.The Zapruder film is a forgery.Have you ever noticed how the foreground spectators appear eerily frozen-like mannequins-while the background moves naturally? This is no coincidence. The film was altered. But why?Because the sniper's nest in the Texas School Book Depository was never the true vantage point of an assassin.The real execution was concealed by a simple but brilliant trick-a diversionary shot from the sixth floor, timed precisely as JFK's limousine passed under an Elm tree, momentarily blocking the Secret Service's view of the sniper's nest. This maneuver effectively disabled Kennedy's security detail, disorienting them while covert shooters, armed with silenced weapons, struck unseen.But the conspirators had planned for this from the start. They knew the Elm tree would obstruct the sniper's nest at the critical moment, so they engineered the perfect solution-a composite film-a seamless illusion designed to fabricate a clear shot from the sixth floor and cement the lone gunman myth.Now, through careful scientific analysis, telltale clues emerge-parallax errors in the extant film, a silent detective revealing the unmistakable earmarks of this composite.What we see is not the real assassination but a cinematic illusion-a seamless blend of Zapruder's footage and that of a covert filmer, the Umbrella Man.This is not history. This is Hollywood.And for over six decades, the world has believed a lie.Now, in this newly revised second edition, fresh evidence and enhanced analysis further expose the deception-revealing the true mechanics of the assassination, the role of the Umbrella Man's covert filming, and the forensic clues hidden in plain sight.

"Here's a large number of Michael's stories, mostly supernatural, but with an unusual viewpoint. They take the existence of the supernatural for granted, but mostly from a very practical Glaswegian viewpoint of 'what's in it for me' which is shared by the ghosts themselves. "How much d'you charge to haunt hooses?" is a common Glasgow insult, but you get the impression that Michael's ghosts come with a rate card - and a list of penalty clauses on the back.There's a lot of old-style Glasgow socialism here too - a lot of references that Hamish Henderson would have been proud of, and unless he's cited here and I've missed it, I've probably just given Michael an idea for another story. But if anyone states a common theme running through the collection, it's the character who notes that in other cultures ghosts are to be feared and avoided, whereas the Brits revel in having them, want them to be here, summon them up or even call them into existence. And the moral Michael points up from that is, 'Beware of what you wish for - you might get it" Duncan Lunan

Candice closed the book and held it to her chest. She was on her way to meet the Kid and tell his story. She left her dull life as a typesetter back in Baltimore, Maryland, so she could be a real writer. But even more than that, she wanted to be with the Knuckle-Smash Kid. The stories started around six years ago. She would read each one from cover to cover. Each story was more violent, more seductive than the last. The Kid was everything the men back in Baltimore weren't. She would go there, write his story, and then throw herself at him, hoping he would make her a woman. She was twenty years old and on an adventure of a lifetime.A small-town sheriff's life is turned upside down when a young writer comes to town in search of his story but not his real story. Along the way, the young writer Candice Martin learns that not everything printed is true and the man she fell in love within the book was different from the real Edward Warren.

Three tales of terror combined for the first time...Jo M. Thomas provides a future diary that foretells of a family tragedy which hasn't happened yet. Michael S. Collins gives us a killer dead fisherman wrecking havoc on a pleasure cruise down the River Clyde. Jon Arnold solves the Brexit issue by going all Dario Argento. Other Side Books prevents a tribute to the old Hammer Horror portmanteau films.Standing by the door, dripping water across the floor of the loos, was Grant, beckoning over to the former trawler man."But you're dead " said Larsson.The Captain took a step forward. Larsson looked away from his face."You shouldn't be here " said Larsson. "Ghosts don't exist "The Captain took another step forward. Larsson thought of his family, back in Vyborg. "Stop it " said Larsson. "Go away. I'm warning you. People know I'm here."The Captain took another step forward.In the loos, no one can hear you scream, if something can play tricks on peoples hearing. Larsson screamed, but all William and Andy could hear, waiting by the bar, was the sound of a barking dog, down the street. Moreover, the more Larsson screamed, the more all they could hear was the dog.After ten minutes, William became concerned that the 'fishing chap' hadn't returned from the loos. However, he assumed, as you would, that Larsson had merely taken the free drink and done a runner. Therefore, William had another drink, and wandered off home to say good morning to his wife. It was five minutes after William left, that the local priest popped in for his gin and tonic, and excused him to go to the toilet, and shrieked upon seeing the bloodless, quite dead, body of the Scandinavian trawler man. Death didn't come to the village that often, murder less so, and yet another Alistair crewmember was gone. Michael S. Collins was born in a building since demolished in a universe thankfully still standing. Getting older by the day, he has been writing for a decade, and was formerly a Fortean Times book reviewer. Michael lives in Glasgow and edits Other Side Books, but has no pet llama...yet.Jon Arnold was the co-editor of Shooty Dog Thing: 2th and Claw. His work has appeared in books including Shooty Dog Thing, both Outside In volumes, Time Unincorporated 3, the You and Who series, Shelf Life, The Twelve Doctors of Christmas, Terrors of the Theatre Diabolique as well as in innumerable fanzines and on websites such as The Two Unfortunates and Winterwind Productions. He's also an occasional contributor to the Reality Bomb podcast. I think he might be a Doctor Who fan, but he rarely mentions this. Current projects include his proofreading business and collaborating on radio scripts. Jon previously wrote a book on Euro 2016 for Other Side Books, and contributed to The Second Christmas Book of Ghosts.When not being an acclaimed fantasy writer, Jo M. Thomas is a fencer with the Academie Glorianna. Her previous novels include The Knight's Daughter, 25 Ways to Kill A Werewolf, A Pack of Lies and Fool If You Think It's Over. She was also a contributor to The Second Christmas Book of Ghosts, and is currently writing her second novel for Other Side Books.
