Review:

For those of us not practicing in the world of health, confronting a critical condition or illness can be a scary and confounding situation. In my experience few of us speak "health" until and unless we need to....and then with very little skill. Thank goodness for Patient Advocacy. Teri Dreher builds a strong case why we should all consider getting someone on our side in dealing with the medical establishment.

Teri Dreher, a nurse whose critical care practice has spanned almost four decades, has written a book that must be read by everyone who deals with healthcare. Teri draws from her vast experience - both personal and professional - to help patients and families assure that their needs, goals, and expectations are at the center of all medical plans and services. Dreher's practice is consistent with Florence Nightingale's very definition of nursing, "helping people to live well." She is both instructive and inspirational.

This collection of Teri's experiences and insights are testimony for the importance of advocacy in creating a better experience, with better outcomes, for patients and their families. Her poignant experience with her own father-in-law will resonate with anyone who has tried to support a loved one through a healthcare crisis.
