I am the Marketing Manager for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Gateway Chapter. At one point, while working here, my father was diagnosed with leukemia (AML). This book would have been so lovely to keep in his hospital room during his 72 stay. This book was published after his stay and he is now in remission; however, I can see how it would have a calming and therapeutic effect on patients and caregivers. It would be a great gift for a loved one to keep in their hospital room for guests or to flip through once they return home from treatment. Sheree has been in their situation before and because of her firsthand experience in battling cancer, really understands how something as simple as a coffee table book can help you take your mind off things for awhile.

I spent a week in the hospital recently with a broken hip I had wonderful care and I can relate to the struggle of nurses everywhere to care for their charges and just to make it through the shift. Especially when other nurses don't make it in on time or at all.

Really enjoyed this view of healthcare by a Naturopath, Dr. Glidden.  It contains very usable and practical information as well as a well informed "second opinion."  I will keep it as a resource and have already recommended to several others.

Everyone who will need medical care for themselves or their loved ones need to read this book. It should be the springboard for all Americans seeking care to take charge of ensuring they get the best and safest medical care.

Great book for anyone visitng the sick at home or hospital. Easy to follow and readings for the Catholic Church's liturgical year. Each handbook is published for a specific liturgical year (A-B-C).

Baby delivery provides a reader with a wealth of medical terminology, but none of it proves to be tedious as the story unfolds and characters develop. Normal deliveries and healthy babies are not all that is going on at Madison Hospital Medical Center. Famous for its specialty-leading treatments, especially with in-vitro programs, a number of strange deliveries and deaths arouses the interest of a young intern. She starts her own investigation, suspecting that all is not well. Shes right, but in her desire to learn the truth, she alienates some of the medical staff. She also stirs the pot, so to speak, and puts herself in harms way. Her shocking discovery that murder takes place in a healing facility is not the whole story. It is a good story with the right touch of suspense.

Whether you are in healthcare, administration, a parent, anyone really will benefit from reading this story by Sorrel King. As a pediatric critical care nurse, I want to reach out and hug this family as a result of their loss & for the great strides that they have made to make healthcare safer. It is a scary world out there in hospitals, especially when people don't communicate well. Sorrel, you are a hero to me!

At Sierra Mercy Hospital, the patients are not the only ones in need of healing.

Sounds like the lead-in for a television medical drama, doesn't it?  I think that is what attracted me to Candace Calvert's novel Critical Care.  I am a big fan of medical drama.  It started with my parents--I can remember watching Trapper John, M.D.  with Mom and Dad when I was a kid.  The one must-see show for me now is Grey's Anatomy.  The one drawback to that show, is the immoral behavior of the entire hospital staff.  If hospitals are really run like the ones on TV....  WOW!  I can't even imagine.

Sierra Mercy Hospital is a bit different.  Sure, there are still romances among the staff members.  In this book, the romance is based on mutual respect and shared experiences, rather than solely on physical attraction.

Calvert uses her extensive medical knowledge and years of health care experience to create believable characters, interacting in a realistic setting.

After a deadly explosion at a daycare center, the emergency room staff at Sierra Mercy find themselves in need of help.  Not all of them are willing to admit to that need, though, let alone ask for it.  That puts Claire Avery, the nurse educator assigned to provide stress counseling in the ER, and Dr. Logan Caldwell, the head of the emergency department, at odds.  She is still dealing with a trauma from her own past, while he operates on the belief that problems need to be left outside the hospital.

I was captivated with this book from the first page.  Though it was not on my official "must review" list, I couldn't put it down.  Critical Care is the first Candace Calvert novel that I have read, but it will definitely not be the last.

I am in my final phase of psychiatric nurse practitioner program.  This book was recommended by my professor.  It is a great handbook to use at the bedside, short, concise, recommendations for treatment...and best of all pocket size!!. Highly recommend.

If your child needs to be hospitalized, Your Child in the Hospital is the book you need to have. Here is a quote from page 19 that is a perfect example of Nancy Keene's voice: "Whether you and your child are in the hospital for a day or for much longer, the experience can be trying. Hospitals are noisy bureaucracies that run on a time schedule all their own. . . . with a little ingenuity, you can make the most of the facilities, liven up the atmosphere, and even have some fun."

Your Child in the Hospital covers all aspects of a hospital stay: planning the stay; how to navigate the facilities; the staff, and how to communicate with doctors; explanations of procedures and surgery; pain management; sibling and school issues; communicating with family and friends; financial and insurance matters; and more. Your Child in the Hospital is comprehensive, practical, helpful, straightforward  and at times even makes you smile. Smiles can be rare in hospitals.

The only problem with this book is that it might not get into the hands of the parents who need it. I know I wish I'd had it when my own child was in the hospital! I highly recommend this book.

The patient stories are eye opening, to say the least.  It's puts in perspective what the Lyme patient has to go through to get diagnonsed, and get coverage from Medicare or insuranrce companies (not!!). Everything is out of pocket.  Read about Joan, the last patient, a Canadian, who has to deal with her government, and the U.S. Very frustrating!!
