"The 'privileged presence' of this book’s title runs full circle, from the patients, family members, and caregivers who tell their stories of pain, healing, cruelty, and kindness in medical care, to their narrators, to the reader who is invited to witness their intimacies." —Michael Rowe, PhD, Yale University school of medicine, and author,The Book of Jesse"These are the people who bear witness to what is miraculous and what is wrong with health care . . . Once you’ve had the privilege of reading this book, pass it on—it’s the best book you will ever give as a gift." —Nancy DiVenere, president, Parent to Parent USA
