The Art Is Long: Primary Texts on Medicine and the Humanities gathers introductory texts in the growing field of medical humanities. This unique volume presents a lens with which to examine the intersection of literature and medicine with diverse selections that span time and the globe. With authors from Sushruta to Hippocrates, Margery Kempe to John Donne, and Susie King Taylor to Sigmund Freud, the volume also highlights the voices of women, people of color, and those who have been overlooked or marginalized by the medical establishment.

 

The Art Is Long aims to expand the medical humanities canon. In addition to more traditional works, readers will find snippets of literary and narrative encounters with medicine by writers who are neither doctors nor nurses, including professional caretakers and people who might be labelled "quacks" today but whose contributions represent a part of medical history.

 

This anthology also includes medical reportage and philosophy, fiction and nonfiction, image and poetry. The shifts in genre, style, and perspective provide a wealth of opportunities to reflect on medical history and literary techniques, focusing on narratives that highlight a personal context for medical subjects in a single volume.

STA-BIL Start Your Engines! Because Sometimes Engines Need a Pep Talk
Size: 2 fl oz
So, STA-BIL Start Your Engines! is basically that friend who shows up uninvited but actually saves the day. You know, the one who doesn’t ask questions and just gets your engine running when it’s feeling moody or sluggish. Does it work? Of course it does. Like, “put a little in your gas tank, say a quick prayer, and voila!” kind of work. Suddenly your car remembers how to start, and you feel like a mechanic genius without actually lifting a wrench. It’s simple, it’s reliable, and it doesn’t judge you for letting your gas sit around until it gets that “I don’t want to cooperate” attitude. Pros: Makes your engine start like it just had an espresso shot. Easy to use — even if you’re barely awake in the morning. No weird smells or smoke signals, just clean, smooth starting. Cons: Won’t fix your “I forgot to put gas in” problem. Sadly, can’t make your car drive itself to work (yet). You might start relying on it a little too much — hey, no judgment. Final Verdict: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – 5 stars. If your engine is feeling lazy, this stuff just works. It’s like a pep talk in a bottle for your car. Highly recommended for anyone who’s ever cursed their ignition.

Cleans Out Working Carburetors
Size: 2 fl oz
I recommend this product for engines that will in fact start but not run well. I highly recommend it for that specific purpose, which it is designed for. It cleans the inner workings of the carburetor. Of course, you will have a cleaner carburetor if you take it apart and clean it with proper tools and a proper carburetor cleaner. You spray it in the gas tank, start the engine, and let it run a bit. It will not start an engine with a totally plugged up carburetor. Nothing is going to do that. Nor is it a fuel stabilizer, as one previous reviewer seemed to think. Nor is it a product to be used to bring life back to stale gasoline, as another reviewer seemed to think. The only thing to do with stale gasoline is drain it out and pitch it. Nor is it a product to be used for cleaning a carburetor you have taken apart to clean. You should use a proper carburetor cleaner for that purpose. I've given it four stars because it cleans out mildly plugged up carbs. It is not a miracle solution for really neglected carbs as the name suggests.

It works like magic, saved me $150.
Size: 2 fl oz
I filled 1/4 tank of gas into my snowblower which I could not started, sprayed about 15 seconds of Start Your Engines, rock snowblower to mix well, let it sat for an hour. I pulled string and yet couldn't start engine. Unscrewed spark plug and spray some into cylinder, put the spark plug back and pull the string. ENGINE STARTED!!! SAVED ME AT THE LEAST $150.
