Insightful and helpful for anyone working or living in a hospital environment. Very helpful and insightful for the target audience (I'd personally recommend it to patients, their family members, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers who may invade other's privacy and comfort zone). Perry discusses several patients he worked with while employed at a children's hospital and discusses simple helpful lessons he learned to help make his patients more comfortable, earn trust, and reduce embarrassment to the patient--as well as discussing how the patient and family can let the caregivers know how to take care of them and respect them.. C. J. said Because knowing more makes things less anxiety provoking. This approachable book is a great way to help young people navigate the strangeness and anxieties of life in the hospital. It answers questions they may not even think to ask, or may be too embarrassed to ask. It also presents some touching real life stories, which could help teens not feel so alone in their situation. As a doctor, I would highly recommend this book to any teens preparing for hospitalization, or finding themselves in the hospital unexpectedly.
I give practical ways to deal with bedpans, flimsy gowns, and the like. In it, I chronicle the ups and downs, as those wonderful girls and I learned trust and cooperation. I also give the magic secret to becoming one of their favorite patients. And rest easy. That's up to your doctor.
