We pass this experience along from nurse to nurse. Some patients want guide lines, other patients do no want to be told what to do. Certain patients have different things that work with them. We streamline our approach to what the person needs. That takes care of many of the problems, by just giving control back to patients it helps enormously.
People come in with a set of coping mechanisms and family problems.
We cannot fix that while they are here for a transplant. It is also true that some people in this experience really changes their lives. Some people come in feeling good and were never sick a day in their life. This makes them not take life for granted. They smell the roses.
