Alton Memorial adding pain management clinic
Thomas Brummett, MD, will open a pain management clinic on the AMH campus later this year. Alton Pain Medicine will be located in Suite 103, Medical Office Building A, 2 Memorial Drive. The office is scheduled to open by Oct. 1. For more information, call 618-463-PAIN (7246).
"Pain management deals mostly with pain coming from the spine," Dr. Brummett says. "That includes neck pain radiating to the arms or lower back pain going into the legs. It's been shown that 75 percent of people will experience some type of back pain in their lives, so there is a need for this."
Dr. Brummett says treatment depends on the cause of the pain symptoms. "It varies from medication and physical therapy to injections to implanted devices," he says. "Pain management is not yet its own separate specialty, but it will be within a few years."
Dr. Brummett earned his undergraduate degree in biology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1976 and his medical degree from Saint Louis University in 1980. He did a residency and fellowship in anesthesia at SLU, finishing in 1985. He is board certified through the American Board of Anesthesia and is a diplomate of the American Board of Pain Medicine. He is a member of the American Medical Association, St. Louis Society of Anesthesiology and an associate of the American Society of Anesthesiologists.
Dr. Brummett joined the AMH staff in 1986 and began his own pain management practice in 2006.
AMH can help with diabetes, other conditions
A proper diet is a key to living a healthier life, not only in treating existing health conditions, but also to prevent some health conditions.
AMH outpatient dietitian Naomi Ward and diabetes educator Lisa James can show you how your diet can help you avoid or decrease symptoms of diabetes, as well as complications like kidney disease, wounds that won't heal, amputations, blindness/retinopathy, neuropathy and impotence.
Outpatient nutrition information is available one-on-one with Ward or as part of support groups led by Ward and James. "If you have a family history of diabetes, you are at risk of this disease," Ward says.
Daytime diabetic group classes are offered Wednesdays and Thursdays in room G-252 on the ground floor of the AMH Olin Wing, along with an evening class.
Ward also sees patients with other conditions, including heart disease, renal disease, obesity, malnutrition/underweight/failure to thrive, Crohn's disease and gout. Ward can be reached at 618-463-7742.
For more information about diabetes management, contact Lisa James, RN, CDE, 618-463-7526.
To make an appointment to meet with Ward and/or James, call 618-463-7647. You will also need a physician referral/order faxed to 618-463-7197 for nutritional counseling and/or the diabetes group classes.
Alton Memorial uses grant to make visitors, staff more 'salt savvy'
AMH recently received a $10,000 sodium reduction grant from the Illinois Department of Public Health to develop innovative ways to encourage healthier food choices for visitors and staff in the AMH cafeteria.
"Our goal is to create awareness of the risks of a high-sodium diet," says Marlene Lewis, AMH development office. "We'll help staff and visitors become 'salt savvy' by providing educational materials about flavoring foods using herbs, spices and salt substitutes. We'll also provide information on local resources for organic and locally grown foods."
One of those local resources is Grassroots Grocery, the first multiple-tiered income stream food cooperative in the Alton area. Located at 415 Ridge St. in downtown Alton, Grassroots Grocery hopes to contribute to the restoration of local agriculture, keep money in the local economy and increase access to healthy food in a low-income area that's designated as "limited access" or a "food desert."
AMH also helps sponsor the Alton Main Street Farmers and Artisans Market in downtown Alton each summer. Starting June 4 and going through Oct. 15, the market is held in the parking lot at the corner of Landmarks Boulevard and Henry Street. Saturday hours are 8 a.m.-noon, and Wednesday hours are 4-7 p.m. The market offers fresh produce and baked goods, including coffee and breakfast items.
Morrison Healthcare manages AMH food and nutrition services and offers a wide range of food resources and expertise in the hospital setting. Morrison has developed FIT Dining Criteria encompassing sodium awareness in the foods served. Items designated as FIT meet standards for calories, saturated fat and sodium.

AMH earns six PRC national awards
AMH won six prestigious honors at the 2016 PRC (Professional Research Consultants) National Excellence in Healthcare Conference, held this spring in Miami.
PRC's 5-Star Awards went to:
It's the ninth year in a row that the Human Motion Institute has won a 5-Star Award and also the ninth year in a row that AMH has been honored for its outpatient care.
Service lines that score in the top 10 percent of the national client database for the prior calendar year earn 5-Star Awards. The awards are based on the percentage of patients who rate the facility or unit "Excellent" for Overall Quality of Care questions.
"Everyone in our hospital works extremely hard to earn the respect and trust of our patients, physicians and the communities we serve," says Dave Braasch, AMH president. "I'm proud of everyone who has contributed to earning these awards. We will continuously strive to improve the quality, safety and experience of our patients and their families. Our team's focus is to always make medicine better."
AMH managers and senior leaders show off the six PRC awards earned by the hospital in 2015.

Alton Memorial opens Joint Wellness Center
Remember all the things you used to do so easily, until your hip or knee started slowing you down? Now imagine doing those things again, with all the confidence in the world. AMH's new Joint Wellness Center offers a team of professionals dedicated to guiding patients through the entire process of hip or knee replacement.
The Joint Wellness Center is located adjacent to the AMH Human Motion Institute on the ground floor of the Olin Wing. The initial visit takes about an hour, says Cynthia Bryant, nurse navigator for the Joint Wellness Center. "The patient will see a nurse, a pharmacy professional and a physical therapist in that time," Bryant says.
"We cover what to expect before, during and right after surgery," adds Sue Walker, manager of the Human Motion Institute. "We also discuss pain management, equipment management and physical therapy throughout the continuum of your recovery from the hospital all the way through outpatient physical therapy."
"Our hope is that we can answer all of your questions before you ask them to prepare you for your joint journey," says Angie Henry-Ford, surgical services manager.
The Joint Wellness Center saw its first patients in early June. For more information, call 618-463-7520.

AMH Wound Care Center honored with distinction
AMH physicians, leaders and clinicians gathered recently to celebrate the Center of Distinction Award given to the AMH Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Center by Healogics Inc., the nation's largest provider of advanced wound care services.
The center was cited for achieving outstanding patient outcomes for 12 consecutive months, including patient satisfaction of 96 percent, a minimum 94 percent wound healing rate within 21 median days to heal, and other quality outcomes.

Since 2005, the AMH Wound Care Center has offered highly specialized wound care to patients suffering from chronic wounds that haven't healed in a reasonable amount of time. Advanced treatments include hyperbaric oxygen therapy, negative pressure wound therapy, bio-engineered skin substitutes, biological biosynthetic dressings and growth factor therapies.
"Our Wound Care Center heals chronic wounds of patients who might otherwise experience an amputation or other life-threatening conditions," says AMH president Dave Braasch. "We are proud to provide this specialized and needed service to our community."
"We're honored," says Valinda Allen, MD, AMH Wound Care Center medical director. "It's a privilege to be part of a great collaborative effort between the hospital, physicians and Healogics.

Students observe health care careers
A tour of the BJH inpatient pharmacy was one of many stops for more than 60 students, as they explored various health care professions June 17. Their tour also included cardiac cath, clinical nutrition, the emergency department, pathology, radiology, rehab (PT/OT), respiratory care and Washington University School of Medicine.
The tour was part of the Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Express Scripts and St. Louis College of Pharmacy (BESt) Pharmacy Summer Institute, which helps expose and prepare local underrepresented minority students for future careers in health care, with an emphasis on pharmacy.
BESt program founder and co-director Steven Player, PharmD, continues to lead this effort at BJH, as the BESt program moves into its ninth year.

BJH receptionist retires after 39 years of service
When fans of CBS's Dallas television series were wondering who shot J.R. and Whole Foods Market was founded in Austin, Texas, Rose Webb was starting her career as a unit secretary at the former Jewish Hospital of St. Louis.
After 39 years of service, she has decided to retire from BJH.
During high school, Webb worked as a pharmacy technician at Jewish Hospital. She studied nursing at St. Louis Community College but didn't finish her degree. When the medicine floor she was working on closed, Webb eventually became a receptionist in the gastrointestinal lab in the Center for Advanced Medicine.
"I wanted to get married at that time, so I didn't return to school," says Webb. "I don't have regrets. I've enjoyed my time here as a receptionist."
Webb says she decided to stay at BJH for so long because she liked the atmosphere and made a lot of friends.
"Although I've worked with Rose for only two years, it has been a blessing," says Theresa Sieber, patient care GI/endoscopy services supervisor. "Rose is dependable, hard-working and dedicated to our patients, as well as her co-workers. She has been someone I could always depend on to help. I speak on behalf of the team when I say she will be dearly missed."
During her retirement, Webb plans to exercise more, roller skate, donate more platelets and travel.

Alison brings so many positive things to BJC Hospice, such as her warmth, respect, kindness and humility. We are grateful to work with and learn from her," says Andrea Tritinger, MSW, LCSW, BJC Hospice grief support coordinator.

Boone receives second Excellence in Eye Donation Award
BHC has been awarded Saving Sight's 2015 Excellence in Eye Donation Award, recognizing partner hospitals for achievements in providing the gift of sight to those needing a transplant last year.
In 2015, BHC staff helped facilitate 30 eye donations, resulting in 38 individuals receiving restored sight through cornea transplants. Overall, the hospital achieved a
54 percent consent rate for eye donation.
The Excellence in Eye Donation Award was created in 2014 to recognize hospitals that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to eye donation. Hospitals in Saving Sight's service area of Missouri, Kansas and Illinois that achieved an eye donation consent rate exceeding
45 percent with at least 10 donors during the 2015 calendar year receive the award. Fewer than 15 percent of Saving Sight's partner hospitals were recognized with a 2015 Excellence in Eye Donation Award. This year marks the second time BHC received the honor.
"We applaud Boone Hospital Center for empowering others to give the gift of sight and for striving to create a culture that supports donation," says Tony Bavuso, CEO of Saving Sight. "Thanks to the generosity of eye donors and their families, and the staff at Boone Hospital Center, more people than ever before were able to receive a sight-saving cornea transplant last year."

Boone Medical Group, BHC expand services to Glasgow
Boone Medical Group and Boone Hospital Center opened a new primary care location in Glasgow, Mo.,
April 11 with family nurse practitioner Melinda Hart, FNP-BC.
Hart is the full-time provider on site, with Paul Schoephoerster, MD, providing care part time. Hart uses evidence-based practice to provide the best quality care for each patient. "I want each patient to feel that whatever they need, no matter how big or small, I'll make sure their needs are met," Hart says. "Their health care will be customized to fit their lifestyle and their needs."
A native of Glasgow, Hart has lived in mid-Missouri throughout her education and training. After receiving her bachelor's degree in nursing from Central Methodist University in 2005, Hart practiced at BHC and physician offices in Fayette, Boonville and Marshall, Mo. She received her master of science in nursing from Graceland University in Independence, Mo., in 2013 and has since been serving the Cooper County area.
"We are excited to add primary care services in Glasgow, making it easier for residents to access quality care close to home," says Jim Sinek, BHC president.
BHC's affiliation with Fitzgibbon Hospital in Marshall, Mo., will also give patients a close-to-home option for hospital care. "Our relationship with Fitzgibbon Hospital is ideal for this clinic," Sinek says. "If patients can be treated at Fitzgibbon and are more comfortable with that location, the transfer of care will be easy and seamless. And if they want or need to be treated at Boone, we are just down the road."

ePRISM software implemented in cath lab
Representatives from the BJC Center for Clinical Excellence (CCE) recently implemented ePRISM software in the cardiac cath lab at CH. ePRISM is a web-based software in which patient data is entered at the time of the procedure and recommendations are given to the physicians.
"This is a collaborative project between the physicians and nurses in the cardiac cath lab," says Rachel Miller, RN, MSN, CPN, quality patient care consultant with the CCE. "ePRISM is a web-based program that provides cardiac cath physicians with real-time feedback and recommendations to minimize complications during the procedure.
With ePRISM, patient information is integrated with research-based models to identify risk of complications such as kidney injury, bleeding and mortality.
"The software has been successful in improving patient outcomes," Miller adds. "Leadership team members in the Christian Hospital cath lab are excited about ePRISM launching, and the staff have been instrumental in developing how to incorporate ePRISM into their workflow."
ePRISM was first launched at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in 2013, with demonstrated significant improvement in reducing acute kidney injury and bleeding, while improving appropriate use documentation. After discussion at the BJC Cardiac Cath Clinical Expert Council (composed of cardiac cath physicians from across BJC), expansion of the program to more cath labs was endorsed and subsequently approved by hospital presidents. The CH cath lab is the second hospital to go live in the expansion. (Alton Memorial Hospital went live in March 2016.) The remaining hospitals to implement ePRISM are Missouri Baptist Medical Center and Boone Hospital Center.

Longtime volunteer will be missed
Nancy Lee Venable, 85, a CH volunteer for 48 years, died earlier this year after a short illness. Venable began volunteering in 1966 at the Pink Elephant, the CH Auxiliary's former thrift shop in Berkeley, Mo.
When CH Northeast opened in 1975, Venable began volunteering at the hospital. During her 48 years of service, she could be found throughout the hospital, but most recently in the surgical services ambulatory and post-anesthesia care units.
From her stories of working as a speech pathologist before her volunteer days, to wearing her iconic skeleton jumpsuit always on the day before Halloween, to making patients and families feel welcome, Venable is missed.
New CH president gets warm welcome

April Employee of the Month 'makes coming to work nice'
Mary Gebhart, RN, BSN, home care staff field nurse, genuinely cares about her work, her patients and her co-workers, as if they were family. For example, on New Year's Eve, when many were hurrying out the door to start the holiday, Gebhart worked late and made an extra skilled nursing visit to make sure a very ill patient got needed care. When her nominator commented that her New Year's Eve visit was "above and beyond," Gebhart said, "If it were my mom, I would hope someone would be there to do what was needed for her, regardless of the day."
On a different occasion, Gebhart happened to overhear a conversation about a patient who needed attention and asked what she could do to help. Gebhart was named the April Employee of the Month.
Her nominator says Gebhart is "definitely a team player who consistently goes above and beyond with a caring attitude and a knack for being very thorough in her work and her care."
May Employee of the Month makes breathing easier
Diane Schnable, physical therapy assistant, fought through many obstacles to get exactly what a patient needed. Because of serious lung conditions, the patient had a great deal of trouble breathing, which worsened when the patient had to walk. A motorized wheelchair would be a great solution, but was out of the question — until Schnable found someone who was willing to donate one.
After the patient began using the motorized wheelchair, the home care team noticed that the patient had discontinued the pursed-lip breathing that indicated struggles with pulling in air, the patient's skin tone was good and the patient's spirits were high.
Schnable was named the May Employee of the Month. "This is an amazing example of how taking the extra step can make such a difference in our patients' lives," says her nominator.
June Employee of the Month is 'jack of all trades'
Ed Damazyn, pharmacy technician, is known to his co-workers as a jack of all trades due to his willingness and ability to help out with whatever his department needs — especially at times when the staff is shorthanded. He was named the June Employee of the Month.
Damazyn has gone above and beyond his normal duties as a driver for BJC Home Care Services by regularly helping out with outbound delivery tickets, pulling and stocking supplies, restocking IV supplies, and assisting with receiving duties. "Ed has been there to assist when we needed him the most," a nominator says. "He always comes to work with an upbeat attitude and he keeps coming back with enthusiasm."
Another nominator adds, "Ed puts our customers first by going out of his way to make deliveries, even after he has worked an exhausting eight-hour shift in the pharmacy. He exemplifies all that should be a good BJC employee."
July employee of the month is a team player
Tracy Burke, July Employee of the Month and certificate of medical necessity (CMN) representative for BJC Home Care Services home medical equipment, uses her energy and focus to ensure appropriate documentation for BJC Home Care Services.
Burke is known as a team player and has shown commitment to the organization by volunteering to take on the second CMN representative's workload besides her own, when that person left for another BJC position. She covered both roles while the team sought to hire a replacement.
"Tracy is always gracious in helping others, regardless of her own workload," says her nominator. "I am excited to nominate her as Employee of the Month for BJC Home Care Services."
Memorial employees honored, Employee of the Year named
More than 425 Memorial Hospital, Memorial Care Center, Memorial Medical Group and Belleville Health and Sports Center employees were honored at this year's Employee Recognition Dinner May 6 at Fischer's Restaurant in Belleville, Ill. Linda Fritsche was named Employee of the Year out of 12 candidates recognized as Employee of the Month throughout the year. Fritsche, a registered nurse, has worked at Memorial for 21 years.
She has been described as a fantastic advocate and resource for her co-workers. She is a team player and remains calm during stressful situations. She works to build strong relationships with patients and is always willing to lend a hand. Her nomination noted that she "has a strong desire to meet the needs of patients and ensure their care is reflective of our vision."
Fritsche's job includes managing a team and assuming the duties of charge nurse. She says the most rewarding part of her job is working as a team to care for patients and seeing their progress to discharge. "I have worked on 2 Center since the unit opened and have enjoyed working with staff and many diverse patients," she says.
Other Employee of the Year finalists included: Betty Suemnicht, Brent Williams, Karla Swift, Shena Bills, Linda Sterr, Magdalena Peery, Missy Thurlow, Jennifer Hill, Jake Smith, Jill Doss and Jessica Cantwell.
In addition to Employee of the Month awards, employees were recognized for years of service. Paula Schlecht and Mary Wetzel were honored for 45 years of service. Ten employees were honored for 40 years of service, including Debbie Alberter, Gordon Arras, Nancy Buckley, Oscar Gain Jr., Ann Hampel, Susan Holcomb, Ruth Holmes, Debra Juenger, Marlene Luechtefeld and Marilyn Preston. Employees were also honored for five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 years of service.
Nurses' care results in double DAISYs
Rachel Riddle nominated Taylor Gasich for a DAISY Award recently, but both nurses' actions in the incident were so compassionate, that they each received an award.
A family member of one of Riddle's cardiovascular recovery (CVR) patients needed help. The CVR staff was very busy, so Riddle walked over to PCU to ask for assistance. Gasich volunteered without hesitation.
The two nurses worked together to help the patient's loved one.
"I was so moved and impressed that she immediately volunteered to help a family member of my patient, whom she had no connection to whatsoever," Riddle said in her nomination. "This was well above and beyond Taylor's job description and came from a place of compassion and care, which is why I firmly believe she deserves a DAISY Award."
The award committee felt both nurses displayed extraordinary compassion, resulting in a double-DAISY Award ceremony for both Gasich and Riddle.

MoBap honors Mersch for putting patients first
Annie Mersch, physical therapy, is the May Employee of the Month. Her nomination cited her compassion for her patients:
"She is extremely responsive and always shows up early for her shifts to ensure that she's ready to start her day. Annie really gets to know her patients' medical background to get a better understanding of what they'll need for physical therapy. Patients really enjoy spending time with her because they can sense that she is truly looking out for them.
"All of Annie's care and dedication puts the patients first and helps get them out of the hospital as a soon as possible. Since starting in the ICU, I've been able to see great outcomes because of Annie. She really communicates well with staff and patients, while putting care first and above all."
Celebrating Annie Mersch's Employee of the Month award are, from left, Mike Kelly, operations vice president; Mitchell Botney, MD, chief medical officer; Amy DeSart, finance vice president and chief financial officer; Mersch; Patricia Robertson, emergency/rehab services director; Candy Donato, human resources vice president; and John Antes, president. | Photo by Hanna Botney
MBSH sleep disorders lab can help you get a good night's sleep
MBSH reminds employees that they, their families and friends can get a good night's sleep with help from the MBSH sleep disorders lab. If you're having difficulty sleeping, you're not alone, says Mike Whitaker, outpatient diagnostic services manager.
Sleep problems affect an estimated 70 million Americans, Whitaker says. They contribute to lost productivity, medical expenses and sick leave. Sleep disorders also are associated with a number of health issues, such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, cancer and high blood pressure.
Sleep apnea commonly goes undiagnosed. "At least
9 percent of women and 24 percent of men are affected," he says. "Out of those who are getting unsatisfying sleep, as many as 80 percent go undiagnosed."
Common symptoms of sleep disorders include:
If you suffer from any of these symptoms and live in the Sullivan area, the MBSH sleep lab provides a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere and state-of-the-art testing using computerized diagnostic equipment. "Our testing is supervised by a registered sleep technologist and interpreted by a physician with specialized training in sleep medicine," Whitaker adds.
For more information about the sleep lab and sleep disorders, call 573-468-1148.

Vickie Horton is Star Service Team Member for May
Vickie Horton, executive assistant, has been selected as the Star Service Team Member for May. Horton has worked at PHC for 44 years, including her years at Bonne Terre Hospital, one of PHC's predecessors. Horton began her career in 1972 as an evening-shift unit secretary at Bonne Terre Hospital. She has served as executive assistant in administration since 1986, working with four different hospital presidents.
"Our Star Service employee for May always wears a smile and has a positive attitude each and every day," says her nomination. "She is kind and sincere and offers invaluable support to Parkland leadership, as well as showing kindness and offering assistance to any employee, board member or guest from the community. She is never too busy to lend a hand, answer a question or offer guidance. She is detail-oriented, follows through on what is asked of her and juggles many tasks with ease and grace."
Horton says she enjoys her job, especially dealing with people. "It's a good feeling to help somebody," she says. "I like my work family. This is your family when you are away from home." She also enjoys working for BJC HealthCare.
The award came as a shock, she says. "I was so surprised! It totally caught me off guard."

Joan Smith promoted
Joan Smith, RN, PhD, NNP-BC, who most recently worked as an advanced practice clinical scientist at Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College and SLCH, has been named director of improvement, implementation and research at SLCH.
Smith has extensive experience in clinical improvement science and is recognized nationally as an expert neonatal advanced practice provider. She has associate and bachelor's degrees in nursing from Maryville University, as well as a master's degree in nursing and a doctorate degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
She says the most interesting part of her work is merging her clinical expertise with her research and improvement/implementation training to systematically examine systems and processes that directly affect patient care.
"This means I work with and learn from frontline clinicians — the experts — who understand the care delivery process and are best equipped to figure out how to improve the process of care over time," Smith says. "The goal is to help clinicians deliver the very best care possible by making sure the right thing to do is the easy thing to do. Because this approach requires systems thinking, an approach beyond the individual level of care, I will see many departments and disciplines and recognize the important contributions that all employees have in improving our care delivery."
Hurst earns safety credentials
Kelly Hurst obtained both his Certified Healthcare Safety Professional (CHSP) and Certified Safety Professional (CSP) certifications.
Hurst joined SLCH in 2015 in his current role as environmental health and safety manager. He has a bachelors' degree in exercise science from William Jewell College, as well as a master's degree in education from Drury University.

Amazing, and very touching. I can relate strongly to this, i nearly cried at each section of the story.
I... This is... It's so deep... I cried at one moment, I swear...
This was a Truly Heart warming and Soul Caring game to enjoy it brought my so much nostalgic feelings and the music was Perfect..
Very deep and immersive
Alight (In Dreams) is a true masterpiece in gaming. Not only does it provide traditional and challenging platform gameplay with the addition of three different choices per level that affect the difficulty, but as a work of art it goes far beyond most other games I've played in my life. A simple but very deep story that sucked me in paired with very well thought poetic phrases, as well as the great fitting music, is what kept me glued to the screen playing this game for hours trying to achieve every possible outcome. I think I hadn't cried in years, but congratulations, Chris and Joel - this did the trick. Being able to translate a raw emotion into any kind of art is a very complex task, but you guys achieved it flawlessly, so here's a well-deserved 10 for you, although I only regret not being able to rate this higher. Keep up the good work!
Very good game
This is the first time i had a challenge plying art games usually they aren't that challenging but this game is different in all the right ways.

Food photography and where to get ideas for shots for my blog.
Feb 4, 2012
I've just started my first blog - about food - and because of my photographical inclinations, seem to be falling behind in terms of producing photographs.
I don't know whether I'm picky about the shots - or if I'm just too involved with the food to take the pictures.
Either way, I'd like some input with regard to lighting and backgrounds commonly available in a kitchen - maybe some good places to look for examples that are taken in home kitchens...
Here's the blog: http://anarchistcuisine.blogspot.com should anyone want a look.

The unique use of a clock to explain the statistical nature of quantum mechanics at a my level (that of a layman) was excellent. It was sometimes humorous, sometimes matter-of-fact, but always held my attention. If you are seeking a understanding of our Quantum Universe including such things as Planck's law and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, this is the book for you. I hardily recommend this book.
The sample pulled me in immediately as it is written in an interesting manner with just the right amount of facts and clearly written outlines of future content. But while the beginning is written for the uninitiated, the last third is for Physics majors with advanced math knowledge. For a casual reader like myself who was looking for a fundamental understanding of quantum physics, the content is initially very clear, interesting and giving just the right amount of explanation without talking down... UNTiL the last third when very specific equations almost completely replaced general understanding. They for me did nothing to help the understanding of the complicated interaction of quantum physics as it relates to gravity and elections in the near or total collapse of stars. I finally began to skim the last 60 or more pages, ignoring the sudden verbosity and nearly constantly appearing equations in order to occassionally glean a piece of illuminating information from page to page to page. In all fairness, I learned quite a bit until the last third.
I learned lots !!!
