4.0 out of 5 stars A must read for the layman and the professional., March 17, 2000
By Ernest L. Castiaux (Castro Valley, California) - See all my reviews
Prof. Falvo has produced a book that clearly outlines not only the medical concerns, but the very real psychological aspects of chronic illness that are frequently misunderstood. Specific examples are used throughout the book and it is quite readable to someone who is not a medical professional like myself. The author shares her insights and experience to provide the groundwork for trying new approaches.

The book also cites numerous references for someone who is interested in pursuing additional research. I can certainly recommend it for anyone interested in the topic.

5.0 out of 5 stars medical books, May 19, 2009
By Monica Williams (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews
This is a very thorough book. I have enjoyed reading the material that is simple and easy to understand. I would recommend this book to the newest nurse up to the most experienced nurse. I love it and I will keep it in my possession as a future reference in my career.
