"Fixing Frannie" is an illuminating book which focuses on one woman's journey through the medical maze in today's changing healthcare system. It is an uplifting story of laughter, challenges, and heroes at the same time illustrating that problems with modern medicine exist at the doctor/patient level. It provides a great deal of insight into this serious situation, interwoven with hope and encouragement. Ms. Rose tells her compelling story in an interesting and easy to read style. Her medical quest also becomes a deeply personal, spiritual quest, where she learns that we need persistence, perseverance, and reverence when trying to get well from an illness. And, very significantly, that women need to know they are worth saving! I would definitely recommend this book not only to women who are suffering with any type of chronic illness, but for those people who love them. It is also an essential read for everyone in the medical profession who has any contact with patients or clients. You will find Ms. Rose's true story of her 12 year ordeal with the medical system to be both touching and relevant. Her poignant words and insights can help all of us reach a deeper level of understanding and compassion. It is one woman's story, and yet it is every woman's story. Many women suffer for years from undiagnosed illnesses and they often end up feeling helpless, defeated, and without hope. Reading "Fixing Frannie" has helped me come to terms with my own illness and it has given me the courage to continue searching for answers and fighting to get better. This book would make a wonderful gift for yourself and for others. "Fixing Frannie" will truly be an inspiration to anyone who reads it.
