Editorial Review:
Kathy's mother suffered a stroke during a routine medical test. Kathy was frustrated in her search for answers about her mother's prognosis. Slowly, her knowledge about patients' rights, living wills, and what to do when a patient's medical insurance and money run out, began to grow. She began to keep a journal of the things that she had learned to help other baby boomers, like herself as they face the difficult task of caring for their elderly parents.

I read the entire thing the same day I ... Read More
