Friday fun: It came from the stacks, groovy shorthand edition

The Medical Secretary's Manual, 1966

Dig that cover.

Before dictation machines, tape recorders or speech recognition software, there was shorthand, an abbreviated writing method that increases speed of writing. When The Medical Secretary’s Manual?áburst onto the scene in 1966, it differed from other medical shorthand books by offering clinically oriented material to accompany the dashes and swoops that encompass stenography. A 1967 JAMA review observed:

Each section is devoted to a particular system or organ of the body. Before confronting the reader with definitions and shorthand symbols for each specific term or phrase, Miss Eshom provides a simplified description of the system under discussion and frequently includes helpful schematic drawings. This background information distinguishes her book from the usual text of medical shorthand.

For avid note-takers with an aversion to technology medical shorthand can still be useful, and indeed, those in need of a simplified overview of anatomy and medical terminology may find the clinical information interesting as well. I suppose that is why this book is still up in the library stacks, keeping the Sixities alive.

Alone no longer: the story of a man who refused to be one of the living dead

A book new to our library adds to our collection of Hansen’s disease materials.

Alone no longer;?áthe story of a man who refused to be one of the living dead! By Stanley Stein with Lawrence G. Blochman. (1963)?á

From a 1963 JAMA book review:

Written for popular readership, this engrossing autobiography of a Carville patient chronicles medical and social progress in treating Hansen’s disease. The author, editor of the hospital newspaper, stresses the crusade to dissociate Hansen’s disease from the “leprosy” stigmatized in the Bible, and to eradicate the term “leper” with its odious social and moral connotations.

Stanley Stein was a Hansen’s disease patient at Carville from 1931 until his death in 1967. He established The Star in 1941, four years after he became completely blind. Alone no longer is his autobiography.

This book was generously donated by Dr. James Riopelle, and is available for check out in the library.

It was always exciting to go digging around in your grandparent’s attic as a kid. You never know what you might find; old photos, love letters and toys, maybe a treasure map to lost pirate gold.

Imagine if you got to dig around in all the old stuff the National Library of Medicine has laying around. Now you can catch a glimpse of their weird, wacky and wonderful collection.

Hidden Treasure: The National Library of Medicine is a beautiful and fascinating new book. Check out a New York Times review or have a look yourself. The book is available in the Isch?® Library stacks and as an EBook online from NLM.
