Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 14, 2014
Having been in the health care profession for many years before retiring, I can relate to a number of the incidents described in this book. Although not a nurse, I witnessed many things ranging from sadness, to over-whelming to quiteridiculous & laugh out loud funny. I appreciated the obvious care the author had for his patients & the fact that he soonrealized that you don't just have to deal with the person that's ill, but in most cases the family member/s as well. Familymembers can prove to be more difficult to deal with than the patient him/herself. The writer accomplishes both with professionalism and empathy. And he accomplishes this in a time when nursing was considered a "woman's " career choice. I applaud him for his "never give up" attitude/fortitude in staying with his chosen field. Good read!
