Well, the experience to her must have been like looking through a mirror. But her main purpose in writing this book was not to empathize the reader towards her but to make him knowledgeable. Do all these personal details play a significant role in that?Amanda Dobson wrote: ↑01 Jun 2021, 11:51 I think that this book should be taken as screen shots of her life and her perspective of how things have changed for her. She wrote both sides one as a patient with her own experiences and from the side of the practitioner.
What do you think about the way the book is presented?

I see your point. Actually the author has really recognized the importance of good healthcare practice as well as having a good life insurance after being at the receiving end of all these after becoming a cancer patient. So it might have been easier for her to articulate the facts for her book and it is even easy for the reader to relate this book to their own selves.gabrielletiemi wrote: ↑01 Jun 2021, 12:32 At first, I thought that the first chapters you talked about weren't related, but after reading the entire volume, I found out that it was very helpful for me to relate to her as a common person who also needs health insurance plans because it's very common to read books that the author distances herself or himself from events, but the author here talked about her story too, making it easier to understand her motivations and to relate to the book too.

I too think that mentioning her own professional background is important for a this sort of book because it adds a validity to its content. A non-medical person too can write this sort of a book after extensive research. But there is a high chance for such a person to miss certain crucial stuff since he/she is not inside the business. But here this author is doing this revelation while being in the system, which gives it an extra validity.

It is a good collection of information, and as you clearly said both the service providers as well as the consumers in this healthcare business can relate this book to themselves as this author has been in both sides. Yes, the background information has done its job by developing the character of this author in front of our eyes and conveying her experience in the field. So the information becomes more valid.Suzer6440 xyz wrote: ↑01 Jun 2021, 23:16 “Knowledge is power”. This proves to be true by reading the journey of a woman with a plethora of knowledge in the business of healthcare. Soon becoming a patient herself, the author made the story about her experience in the incredible difference of now being a person on the other side.This is a fantastic self-help book that was written with self love and much care and kindness. The content is Logical as I do not feel there is any evidence of scattered pieces of information at all.

I too think that all the pieces of the book are of importance whether they are logically connected or not. And, yes, she has taken into light several important areas which most of us do not even think about, but are of real importance.REIGNING20 wrote: ↑02 Jun 2021, 01:19 I was most intrigued about the topic on creating living wills because people rarely think about whom they want to leave their inheritance to. Moreover, I believe the concerns raised by the author are relevant in contemporary times as they are not merely scattered ideas.

Talking about practitioners, her life and then her illness she shows different stages in her life. She covered a very important topic of making a will which was much needed.
The book is of great help.
