{"product_id":"book-f01g","title":"The Mayo Clinic: Faith, Hope, Science","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn September 30, 1889, W.W. Mayo and his sons Will and Charlie performed the very first operation at a brand-new Catholic hospital in Rochester, Minnesota. It was called Saint Marys. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hospital arose out of the devastation of a tornado that had struck the town six years earlier. After the storm, Mother Alfred Moes of the Sisters of Saint Francis told the Mayos that she had a vision of building a hospital that would \"become world renowned for its medical arts.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on the film by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, The Mayo Clinic: Faith, Hope, Science chronicles the history of this unique organization, from its roots as an unlikely partnership between a country doctor and a Franciscan order of nuns to its position today as a worldwide model for patient care, research, and education. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing more than 400 compelling archival and modern images in a supplemental PDF, as well as the complete script from the film, the book demonstrates how the institution's remarkable 150-year history continues to inspire the way medicine is practiced there today. In addition, a series of case studies reveals patients, doctors, and nurses in their most private moments as together they face difficult diagnoses and embark on uncertain treatments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe film and this companion book tell the story of an organization that has managed to stay true to its primary value-the needs of the patient come first. Together, they make an important contribution to the critical discussions about the delivery of health care today in America … and the world. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recorded Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49364426948912,"sku":"BDf01g","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49364427112752,"sku":"ZEf01g","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49364427014448,"sku":"ZMf01g","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/f01g-cover.jpg?v=1761176237","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-f01g","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
