Ronald Joseph Ryan was hanged in Melbourne on 3 February 1967, following his conviction for the shooting murder of a prison warder during a daring escape from the maximum-security Pentridge prison thirteen months before. The decision of the Victorian government in December 1966 to proceed with Ryan''s death sentence sparked immediate media condemnation and angry political protests, and put the Liberal premier, Sir Henry Bolte, under siege for the duration of the case. State governments around the country moved to abolish the death penalty in the 1970s and 1980s, and Ronald Ryan became the last man to be hanged in Australia. Today, many years later, the Ryan case still prompts spirited debate about the guilty finding against Ryan, the merits of capital punishment, and the politics behind his execution. But who was Ronald Ryan, and how did he come to be the focus of such dramatic political events? Drawing on previously unpublished documents and personal accounts -- including details of Ryan''s childhood and his early turn to crime -- this book reveals the truth about Ryan''s guilt. It also goes behind the scenes to tell for the first time of the life-long anguish of the judge who pronounced the death sentence, the inner workings of the secret cabinet meeting that decided Ryan''s fate, and the dramatic political process that resulted in the rejection of eleventh-hour appeals to save Ryan. Mike Richards first became involved in the case as the leader of student protests against Ryan''s execution. Now he has written a masterly, compelling account that retrieves the individual and the drama at the centre of the most divisive capital case in Australia''s history. Through the depth of its original research and the persuasiveness of its insights, Mike Richards'' award-winning biography of Ronald Ryan provides a definitive account of the life and death of the man whose execution stopped a nation.

This book was written to guide medical professionals (and everyone else interested) about telehealth, whether they''re just curious, looking to start a telehealth business or looking for employment in telehealth. You''ll learn about benefits, laws and regulations, employment and more. Let''s Define Telehealth Technology has revolutionized the way people communicate with each other and it has a great potential to help solve contemporary global health problems. Telehealth can be as simple as two doctors talking on the phone about a patient''s care, or as complex as using robotic technology to perform surgery from a remote site. Today, telehealth is frequently associated with remote monitoring of a patient''s condition; for example, blood pressure, heart rate, and other measures of health status can be obtained by a device worn by the patient and sent electronically to medical personnel. Telehealth is a great tool for the dissemination of information on the care and prevention of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular, respiratory and of course epidemics. "Telemedicine" is one of the most prominent, well-known and used branches of telehealth. It''s the exchange of medical information through some electronic means of communication, between two people who are not located in the same space. While telehealth is the health system as such, making use of ICT, with special emphasis on the preventive nature. In its broadest definition, telehealth includes a full range of activities that help the patient and the general population to be healthy: prevention, promotion, diagnosis, self-care and treatment. What types of telehealth technologies exist and how are they improving healthcare? Teleconsultations allow a doctor in a rural area to receive advice from a specialist, who may be in a distant location, about patients with special or complex conditions. Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is a technology that allows patients to be monitored outside of conventional clinical settings, such as at home. MRP requires sensors in a device that wirelessly transmits or records physiological information to be analyzed by a healthcare professional. Intraoperative monitoring (IOM) is a technique that allows a surgeon to perform continuous checks, records, and tests during a difficult surgical procedure. In neurological surgeries, MIO is used to detect potentially harmful changes in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerve function before irreversible damage occurs. Rural hospital staff rarely has the necessary experience to perform this type of monitoring.

''It''s all about oil. If there was no oil then the only expatriates in The Gulf would be a few archaeologists being driven mad by the heat, dust, thieving Bedouins who can steal the wheels off a truck while it is in motion - and crafty bureaucrats who will delay official documents for months, until they see some baksheesh. Since the 1960''s oil gas been the new Great Game. A game made serious by the endless flow of petro-dollars-and blood.''
