5.0 out of 5 stars The Role Hope Plays in Sustaining Quality of Life, March 12, 2004

By	Paula D. Matuskey (Ellicott City, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Anatomy of Hope: How People Prevail in the Face of Illness (Random House Large Print (Cloth/Paper)) (Hardcover)

I have read this author's books before, and I genuinely like his descriptions about the medical profession. This book particularly explains the tensions that physicians face in the conflict between being frank with patients and yet not taking hope away from them, even in serious circumstances. I believe it's easy for people, when they are well, to say that they would fight an illness with no holds barred, but when reality strikes, that dedication may falter or fail. This book does not gloss over the trials of cancer and other debilitating illnesses, but helped me understand in many ways why different patients react in radically differing ways when facing a crisis of their health. As so many baby boomers are aging themselves or facing the crises of aging parents, this book can be a godsend. But it's not just for those of us who are older. It's a wonderful read by a very interesting, compelling writer.
