Book Description
BEYOND MEDICINE is the first major book about ARDS written for patients, families and medical professionals with input from patients themselves.
BEYOND MEDICINE is the first major book about ARDS written for patients, families and medical professionals with input from patients themselves.
ARDS effects over 150,000 individuals annually with a mortality rate of 30-50% or higher. Patients and families will find information and consolation in the stories of other patients with similar problems. Physicians, nurses and other medical professionals will get a patient-family perspective that they may have missed by focusing on the disease rather than on the person with the disease.
BEYOND MEDICINE comes in an era of "Evidence-based Medicine" and protocol- based patient care. This engaging book reminds us to remember and use the healing forces of Love & Prayer, Touch & Humor, Music & Pets. Each of these elements of healing can be helpful in critical illnesses such as ARDS, as illustrated by the stories in this book. Chapters on each element go into depth on that topic.
About the Author
After Dr. Yarnall’s miraculous recovery from ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome), he felt the need to increase awareness of this disease which may be much more common than generally recognized, and which can strike anyone at any age and at any stage of health. Dr. Yarnall includes selected stories of others with ARDS to give a personal face to this devastating illness. Each story is fascinating and together they present a message of hope even when physicians have pronounced the prognosis as "hopeless".
