Powerful Perspective from the Other Side of the Bedrail:

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 Wish I Could Cry With You, But I Can't

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.

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.

Do Hospice Workers HASTEN a Patient's Death?

I'd written feature stories about hospice services in the years when they were relatively new on the medical scene. I can't hotlink you to the stories because they preceded the now-popular Internet. But I can let you know that I wondered about the downside of people who only work with pending deaths. Psychology has a way of messing up the best psychological wiring and minds. Deeply good character traits developed on purpose have a way of preventing that from happening.

I offer you a cautionary tale, written by a former neighbor in the USA. I know her thinking and speaking manner. It is clearly portrayed in this essay: Angel of mercy or angel of death? A cautionary tale.

As It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry If I Need To: EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge and this blog caution you,

You need to consult board certified
medical and mental health professionals
in all matters relating to your health,
and for suspected symptoms of illness
requiring diagnosis or medical
attention (including simple first aid).
For spiritual matters, consult
sensibly behaved clergy who
demonstrate complete respect for
your wellbeing.

There are many fine, morally grounded hospices and hospice workers in the world. But you will be wise to observe small details. Look for consistency, genuine versus merely professed compassion, and ethics in hospice and all medical settings. THAT can serve your interests and your loved ones' very well. And, it's a way to EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge.






Face Your Medical Problems with Dignity.
Face Your Future with Optimism.

Hospice, Health and a Speaking Tour!

26 Nisan 5768


I'm pleased to let you know that my message about how to cope with medical challenges/crises and the emotional turmoil that tends to go with them is poised to go global. Well, more global than it has been.

Today, Hadassah Hospital's Social Services Department referred my public speaking skills and book to the social work director at the Hadassah Hospital Hospice Center. Now why would anyone suddenly do that? Read on!

The highly skilled and very experienced people who cared for my severely broken arm as a medical team were in utter shock and total pleasure upon meeting with me today. My face and entire body, including the affected arm/hand, radiate health and optimism. The doctors and social workers well understand the formidable odds I've beaten to attain this achievement. They appreciate that I take the advice I give to others. It clearly works! And they want it to work for the desperately ill patients they treat.

I plan to speak for far more people than those in Israeli hospices and hospitals. Contact me soon to book me for a speaking engagement in your part of the world. My winter Author's Tour is shaping up. Just click on giveretgolani@gmail.com and let me know your particulars.

And here's a new feature for this blog: a CLIFFHANGER! Just wait until I officially announce which international mental health organization is adding my book to its roster of recommended reading materials! See you next week...
