    Love is planning Iconic’s 30th birthday party, which is also their going away party. Iconic felt his family had suffered, enough and it was time to make a move. Iconic, Love, the triplets, and baby Choice were all headed to Miami, and had no plans to look back. Things were good for them, and they made a vow to keep it that way, and a fresh start was what they needed … until Pam returned with information on Love’s father. The rest of the family didn’t want to see them leave, but they knew it was something they needed to do to strengthen their bond. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew tried to keep things together. Pooch and Queen had their son King, who was now two and bad as ever, but Pooch saw no wrongdoing; his favorite line to Queen was ‘He’s a boy, that’s what they do.’ That was their added chaos, and the fact that since their wedding, Pooch had been pushing for number two. Mama Toni and Ice were working out just fine now that she was running Iconic’s businesses full time. He could keep a close eye on her since the doctor was back at his old tricks. Mama Kash and Derrick were doing well, and maybe a little too well with the news they were about to deliver at their family cookout. Ice had some surprising news that could bring Kash’s world crashing down, and Kid would be right there by her side through it all. Sir and Ti-Ti were now parents of a baby boy, Sir ‘SJ’ James, and had sole custody of Sirenity. Ti-Ti talked Sir into allowing Sasha visitation with her daughter, but she didn’t appreciate it at all, and made a vow to show Sir and Ti-Ti just how she felt about it. Come and join the family as they go through their trials and tribulations, with the hopes of still coming out as a family.

    Autumn Klein, a neurologist specializing in seizure disorders in pregnant women, had already been named chief of women’s neurology at Pittsburgh’s largest health system. More than just successful in her field, Dr. Klein was beloved—by her patients, colleagues, family, and friends. She collapsed suddenly on April 17, 2013, writhing in agony on her kitchen floor, and died three days later. The police said her husband, Dr. Robert Ferrante, twenty-three years Klein’s senior, killed her through cyanide poisoning. Though Ferrante left a clear trail of circumstantial evidence, Klein’s death from cyanide might have been overlooked if not for the investigators who were able to use Ferrante’s computer, statements from the staff at his lab, and his own seemingly odd actions at the hospital during his wife’s treatment to piece together what appeared to be a long-term plan to end his wife’s life. In Death by Cyanide, Paula Reed Ward, reporter for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, describes the murder investigation and the trial in this sensational case, taking us from the poisoning and the medical staff’s heroic measures to save Klein’s life to the investigation of Ferrante and the emotion and drama inside the courtroom.

    She knew instantly that her decision to work in general practice was the ‘biggest and worst mistake of her life’. Fortunately, however, this did not deter her from continuing in general practice, and this fascinating memoir (spanning half a century) is testament to her resilience and professionalism, as well as her pragmatic and charismatic personality. She shares real stories about real people in this intriguing book. Some stories are truly heart-breaking and will have you reaching for the tissues (such as the times when she has lost patients, and encountered and supported abused children and rape victims). But it isn’t all serious. There are lots of light-hearted and heart-warming moments too, such as the stories about Jessie-dog – her bodyguard when she made home visits, and the time when she helped a large (and desperately in need) family to get rehoused, and her time as a country GP. She also recalls with honesty and candidness, the prejudice and unimaginable pressure she had to contend with, as a young female GP in the 1960s. As well as a plethora of fascinating stories, experiences and case studies, this book also gives us, as 21st Century readers, a glimpse into the rapid changes in general practice and the NHS in general. Whether you’re in general practice, or you’re a medical professional, or you have a penchant for all kinds of autobiographies/memoirs, you will find this a thought-provoking and captivating book that’s impossible to put down. Take a peek at the ‘Look Inside’ feature now and be prepared to be instantly intrigued.

    She elected to specialize in critical care--to become an ICU physician--and imagined herself swooping in to rescue patients from the brink of death. But then during her first code she found herself cracking the ribs of a patient so old and frail it was unimaginable he would ever come back to life. She began to question her choice. Extreme Measures charts Zitter's journey from wanting to be one kind of hero to becoming another--a doctor who prioritizes the patient's values and preferences in an environment where the default choice is the extreme use of technology. In our current medical culture, the old and the ill are put on what she terms the End-of-Life Conveyor belt. They are intubated, catheterized, and even shelved away in care facilities to suffer their final days alone, confused, and often in pain. In her work Zitter has learned what patients fear more than death itself: the prospect of dying badly. She builds bridges between patients and caregivers, formulates plans to allay patients' pain and anxiety, and enlists the support of loved ones so that life can end well, even beautifully.
