| Actual
Reader Reviews: Especially helpful and
filled with new perspectives.
This is the first
(and only, so far) book that gives the
perspectives of everyone involved when
someone has a debilitating stroke. It is
a surprisingly well-organized collection
of essays from individual doctors,
medical prsonnel, caregivers --through to
the stroke patient, himself. Perhaps the
best essay is is saved for the end of the
book. It is written by the editor, Dr.
Wallace Sife. He explains the two sides
to healing: medical and spiritual. Nobody
had ever written about that, and it is so
important that it be addressed. Dr. Sife
has given enlightenment and hope to his
all his readers. This book is especially
helpful for the stroke patient and his
loved ones. They are scared, and need
this kind of practical explanation, which
is put into easily understandable,
non-medical terms.
