description: Chronicles Paula's traumatic battle against powerful medical corruption Two-time cancer survivor Paula Carroll recounts horrific experiences as the patient of incompetent doctors in a tragically flawed medical system. "They didn't think I would live because the cancer was metastatic," Paula remembers. After being admitted to a hospital, she learned about its hospice program and soon received training from Swiss-American psychiatrist, near-death studies pioneer and best-selling author, Elisabeth Kubler Ross, MD, whose comments are featured on the back cover. Listening to an inner voice, Paula conducted 14 years of painstaking research and "shook up the status quo," she says. Among her "adventures," Paula endured multiple surgeries, became a hospice volunteer, established the largest patient information library in America, and testified at state senate and assembly hearings. As she helped other patients find answers, she uncovered shocking discoveries about her own medical records - and exposed a medical fraternity culture where doctors covered for defective physicians so offenders could continue practicing.  Paula recounts the careless, negligent and even hostile treatment she endured that led her to the brink of death as she challenged layers of medical system corruption. In Life Wish, you'll share the rage, anxiety and ultimate joy of one woman's struggle to save her life and the lives of others. Consider these other excellent books by Paula "Moment to Moment""All ... for the Love of A Precious Love Never Ends""Compassion ... don't just take it for granted"
