Download The Gift of Caring: Saving Our Parents from the Perils of Modern Healthcare AudioBook Free
In this e book, writer and biologist Marcy Houle shares her personal quest of looking after her dad, a surgeon, who developed Alzheimer's disease, and later her mom, who succumbed to other medical conditions. Like many children of aging parents, Marcy often thought powerless touring this unfortunate trajectory - viewing them land through the breaks of a fragmented and puzzling healthcare system, where specialists often composed off their symptoms as "just later years". The tragic technique? Matching to coauthor and geriatrics doctor Elizabeth Eckstrom, these symptoms frequently aren't "just later years". Rather, the challenge is that the current healthcare delivery model for the elderly is ill-equipped to supply the comprehensive, person-centered care elderly people need. Today, a large number of aging people face pointless hurting, hospitalizations, nursing home stays, and even fatality due to problems that could have been prevented or cured. The Surprise of Nurturing discloses these pitfalls and family members with tools they may use to avoid them. Dr. Eckstrom shares professional medical insights into what Marcy could have done to guard her parents, and shows how exactly we can become our beloved one's best advocate.
