I'm so glad I didn't start working in the hospital setting without reading this text first. I would have looked quite the fool. Mrs. MacDonald thoroughly gives a nice, informative, and conversationally written guide to working with very ill patients. How to play nice with other members of the very busy medical staff was a lifesaver. Don't expect this to be a book on Hospital Patient massage techniques. This is a book for Massage Therapist professionals, not amateurs. The patient data form really helped me to get what I needed from the nurses without taking up too much of their time. It seemed like every time I had a question while reading this book, it was answered on the next page. Mrs. MacDonald is really in tune to the mind of an LMT. I would love to be a student in one of her seminars one day.

This is an excellent resource for those working with Hospital Patients for any bodyworker. I return to it time and time again for clinical information and I read and re-read the stories and testimonies from other patients and practitioners as guidelines for many of the challenging circumstances that can come up when working with cancer patients.

Interesting book and I like the way Gayle MacDonald wrote this book. Easy to understand techniques for helping cancer patients.

I ordered this book and have not received it. I ordered two other books with it and i have those. I dont know what happened, i went to the post office and the apartment office and neither has it. I have paid for the book so i would really like to have it or have my money back.
