Powerful Perspective from the Other Side of the Bedrail:

B'SD

9 Cheshvan, 5775


Medical drama is a reality. The emotions that rock you and your loved ones affect everyone around you, whether or not they show the reality. 

I found something at the Nurseeyeroll.com site worth sharing with you.


A powerful message.
I just saw the doctor walk out of the room…the room of your husband on a ventilator, who after 12 days of no improvements, has had set back after set back.
NURSEEYEROLL.COM


That emotional barrier is a protective mechanism. 


It lets medical professionals focus on their skills so that they can tend to the patient in optimal fashion. 

But when that barrier turns to indifference, it endangers lives. 


The
book shares information about 
your safety-enhancing options 
in such situations.


Please share your thoughts about that, and the essay above, with me.

Ethical Issues: Illness from the Nurse's Perspective

B'SD

11 Cheshvan 5771


Your medical problems are only one side of the story. Consider the nursing perspective and the godawful problems that medical professionals face in providing you with optimal care:

Recognizing Signs of Depression in Patients

Part Two, Ethical Issues for Nurses:
http://www.nursetogether.com/tabid/102/itemid/2166/Ethics-in-Nursing-Issues-Nurses-Face.aspx


You need your medical team to cooperate with you, to improve your health, end or accomodate your pain and limitations. But those doctors and nurses face nightmares of their own: fear of felicitous lawsuits, physical and mental exhaustion, lack of knowledge (who on earth could keep current with every medical advance in the world? It takes focus and adequate time to learn them, let alone to find out that they exist). Rude patients, friends and relatives only complicate matters.

~*~
End or at least minimize the problems.
Treat medical professionals with
courtesy and respect.

Gratitude would be nice, too.

How to Deal with Defeat - Succesfully!

B'SD

16 Elul 5770



Star Trek's compelling character Seven of Nine had been kidnapped from her murdered parents as a child. Forced into losing much of her human identity so that she'd become an obedient robot hellbent on destruction, she ultimately decided to reclaim and to further develop her better nature.


She recovered her potential for decency, compassion and healing one determined step at a time.

You're feeling robbed of your humanity because of illness, emotional or physical trauma.
Defeat leaves a lousy taste in your mouth and a worse feeling in your heart.

There are solutions for the rollercoaster ride of your life. Read Bob Burg's piece about how to face adversity
Handling Those “Unfair Things”.

Now go one step further. Buy the E-book that medical and mental health professionals recommend for coping with your medical adversities.


One of the practitioners who praised It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry If I Need To: EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge saved his emotional - and physical - life with it. He's enjoying his rewarding future. Read his comments when you click the above link for buying the book.

A Medical Ethics Issue that MUST be Resolved to Serve Humanity

B'SD

19 Av 5770





Whew, it's been a busy week. I was interviewed for a news article about how people benefit from my books and coaching, plus I'm teaching Social Media Savvy to some interested business people while spending time with friends visiting from another country.

Here's some food for thought I'd like to share with you over the weekend:


How would you feel
if your life were
threatened by disease
and doctors refused
to share your tissue
samples with
researchers seeking
a way to save you?



The hospital administrators and relevant doctors cited in the article below, and others like them, are missing a superb health-promoting and public relations opportunity. They could develop the legal means of sharing patient tissues in an effort to preserve and to improve a person's life.

I'm awestruck at the failure to appreciate this! Lawyers could perform some public service by lending their skills to solving this heart-breaking dilemma.


Let me know what you think after you click on Niki Perry's story at
Patients, hospitals wrestle over tumor tissue.

Er, no, I cannot explain the odd color of the patient's "hair."

What Can a Doctor Do When HE or SHE Suffers a Medical Crisis?

B'SD

2 Tamuz 5769

Months ago, I sent the manuscript for the sequel of "It's MY Crisis!" to a radiologist - he's also a medical ethicist no less - whose articles appear on the 'Net from time to time. I asked him to read the manuscript and to provide "praise" for the back cover as the medical ethicist he is.

Well, life is full of surprises. Read what happened as you follow the doctor's reply to me below:


"Dear Yocheved,

Thank you for sending me the second edition of your book, It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry If I Need To: A Life Book that Helps You to Dry Your Tears and to Cope with a Medical Challenge.

I received the book one week after I suffered my own medical crisis and found it very helpful. I think the book will be of great benefit both in dealing with the fragile emotional health of sick patients and the stressful situation of the patient's caregiver.

Possibly more importantly, the book offers very practical comprehensive information for dealing with a health-related crisis that is so seldom available to someone who is ill and preoccupied with their own troubles.

When a person is ill, they are by nature in a compromised position and often do not know where to look for guidance. Putting so much useful information at their fingertips will help them navigate the difficulties of a confusing medical system.

Combined with the encouragement to never give up hope, the book will be of great aid to anyone with a sudden serious medical emergency.


Thank you again for sending me the book to review. Daniel Eisenberg, MD"

BTW, the good doctor is with the Department of Radiology at the Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, PA; Assistant Professor of Diagnostic Imaging at Thomas Jefferson University School of Medicine; Medical Ethicist http://www.daneisenberg.com/

OK readers, now you know why my schedule has been so busy lately. I'm finalizing the publication preparations for "It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry if I Need To: EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge." As Dr. Eisenberg indicates, it's a powerful patient tool.
