>> Excellent Read
I heard the author on a broadcast of NPR s Fresh Air with Terri Garr and was so intrigued with the conversation that I looked up the book on Amazon I got it at a great price
This is one amazing story for anyone who has had the misfortune of being close to someone who has had a stroke for stroke victims and medical professionals
It is a very unique perspective from the stroke victim We are usually told about strokes in very analytical terms this personlizes the experience
GP s should make this a must read
You will be drawn into and fascinated by this book The spiritual aspects are most surprising
Please read highly recommended
>> A career influence
This was a gift to my future daughter in law I am a male nursing student As a result of reading this book I have been deeply influenced to pursue neuroscience with hopes to work in ICU as my route to advancement It is the only book I have ever read twice My copy was a gift from a fellow student who knew it would have a profound affect on me in my pursuit to be the best nurse possible
I was most moved by the very first item in Appendix B in the list Dr Taylor devised of Forty Things I Needed the Most in her recovery from the stroke which states 1 I am not stupid I am wounded Please respect me Dr Taylor is an incredible inspiration and I intend to be a nurse professional who will make a difference to those who suffer brain trauma and require sensitive and understanding caregivers
