Gahart’s Intravenous Medications Is Now Elsevier!

There is a new edition of Gahart’s Intravenous Medications but the author has changed and so has the title. Elsevier’s 2023 Intravenous Medications: a handbook for nurses and health professionals is now available via ClinicalKey.

This 2023 edition marks the fiftieth year of publication of Intravenous Medications. Betty L. Gahart has stepped away from the publication and the new author is Shelly Rainforth Collins.

Book Talk on the Evolution of Algiers General Hospital – Wednesday, September 28th

On Wednesday, September 28th, Frank Wagner, M.D., SoM Class of 1961, will present his book “Two Men and a Hospital: the Evolution of Algiers General Hospital Via Henry A. LaRocca, M.D. & Ernest A. Schiro M.D.” in the Moreau Center at the University of Holy Cross.

The book details, in part through personal interviews and illustrations, how Algiers got its first hospital after 200 years of existence due the efforts of two men, including Dr. Henry A. LaRocca, who was part of LSU School of Medicine’s first graduating class in 1933.

The presentation is being hosted by the Blaine S. Kern Library at the University of Holy Cross. For more information, email schaubhut@uhcno.edu.
