There aren't enough superlatives to describe how I feel about this book.First, in briefest summary, this story is written by Dr. Rana Awdish and tells the harrowing story of her near-fatal medical disaster suffered in her 7th month of pregnancy. Dr. Awdish had formerly been an ICU doctor and now she found herself on the opposite side; experiencing life as a patient in an ICU unit.Her life hung in the balance for weeks, and it really took years of ups and downs after devastating setbacks for her to finally recover. She is now a working ICU doctor again and she also gives seminars and speeches on her experience and hopefully this will help doctors and patients alike.I have read several books similar to this, and indeed it reminded me a bit of 1991 movie staring William Hurt called The Doctor. In that movie an arrogant doctor finds himself suddenly becoming a patient and the experience humbles him and changes his life.Dr. Awdish did not need humbling before her experience - but what reminded me so much of that movie was that she was forever changed afterwards and that she was able to share her amazing insights with us. What a gift, truly.I could go on and on gushing about this book. She describes how devastating it is for anyone to find themselves suddenly very ill and being without control and how normal, healthy people don't, or maybe can't understand how that can feel. As Virginia Woolf once said, and I must paraphrase - there really is a land of the sick and a land of the well. As Dr. Awdish so eloquently stated:"I had lost my sense of myself as a strong, capable, independent person."It's so hard to truly understand this unless you've been there. As Dr. Awdish points out, it is the little things that doctors and other health personnel can say or do that can make such a difference for the patient. She does such a wonderful job going into detail about this.(As a side-note and example - I went to have an echocardiogram today and the technician stopped in the middle of the test, looked worried, and went back to my chart and came back. I looked at her concerned and she looked back at me and smiled and said, "everything looks good I was just checking something on the chart," and I smiled and thought of this book - this was exactly the kind of thing Dr. Awdish was talking about, and I thanked the tech for the explanation.)What Dr. Awdish does go on to explain to us is how doctors were trained to distance themselves from patients - that feeling empathy was actually a bad thing because it was believed it could interfere in their treatment of a patient and it could overwhelm them personally. And of course that is understandable.At the same time, she goes on to explain that this is not necessarily the case - you can feel empathy and show caring; and sometimes you just need to be more conscious of things you say and do in front of your patient. She also explains how it's not good for the interns and the doctors alike to not be able to be able to talk about their own feelings of failure or loss.I really do hate to summarize anything she says in this book because she says it so beautifully herself. I have dog-eared so many pages that I think that this book may fly if I were to throw it in the air. In her own words:"Perhaps it speaks poorly of me that I needed to become a patient to see cracks in our face. Did I not have enough empathy or perspective to understand the magnitude of the suffering that was all around me until it affected me directly? It's possible. But that doesn't resonate with who I understand myself to be. Closer to the truth is that I'm not entirely to blame. I came to medicine with an open heart, and somewhere during my training I was taught to wall it off. We all were. We were implicitly and explicitly instructed on the absolute necessity of partitions, measured distance and aequanimitas.We were taught not only that it would save us, but if we didn't somehow find a way to do it, we would kill those we were put there to protect. Our feelings were a direct threat to our patients. It was impossible to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients if we felt something as they decompensated in front of us, struggled with cancer diagnoses in our office, and lost their dignity to disease.It was a lie.It is entirely possible to feel someone's pain acknowledge their suffering, hold it in our hands and support them with our present without depleting ourselves, without clouding our judgment. But only if we are honest about our own feelings. Physicians are prone to all the same human emotions of pride and guilt and denial and shame that distort our reason. We are just trained to believe we can surmount them. Emotions tended to can be claimed. Those we deny will always float. Allowing space for our feelings when we've been trained to deny them is not selfish, it's necessary, both for ourselves and for our patients."I so highly recommend this book. It is a must for everyone in the medical field and would be of great interest to anyone else, including those who have suffered from a serious illness or know someone who has. And as pointed out in the book, since that is inevitable in life, well then I guess I would recommend this book to everyone.
Every medical caregiver, every discouraged person, every person who has run out of hope should read this book. This book shows the importance of communication and empathy. Medicine has advanced in miraculous ways, we can “ fix†so much. Let’s learn how to add communication, connection and empathy.
I could barely put this book down! The author's journey way incredible and heartbreaking and terrible and wonderful. She found light, but more importantly found profound insight to improve the lives and relationships of providers and patients. I am so proud to work for the same organization Dr. Awdish works for and hope to help further promote positive communication that improves the lives of our patients.
This book has reignited a passion for sincere, empathetic, and intentional patient care. By reading her book as a physician who was also a patient, it gives you such a unique and raw look into the patient care that is being delivered. No matter if you are a physician, nurse, or care technician, this book can apply to your practice and make you wonder about how you really impact your patients. Dr. Awdish puts forth a very easy reading style and delivers a powerful message to the reader. As a nurse, I cannot recommend this book enough.
This story is so truly amazing to behold. The horror that Dr Awdish survived is almost unbelievable. I am humbled by the inner strength she obviously possess.My family suffers from rare auto-immune diseases and over the years we have been treated horribly by multiple doctors, from shear disbelief to undiagnosing diseases based on cursory first exams by new doctors. Their cavalier attitudes make it very difficult to trust medical professionals. I think all doctors and medical professionals need to read this book. They need to see how their arrogant, dismissive attitudes lead to people's deaths. I believe that if you, as a medical professional, read this book and don't change the way you approach how you practice medicine then you have no business being a doctor.If you've ever felt like you've been dismissed or overlooked by your doctors you should read this book. If you like a truly heartwarming yet gut wrenching story you should read this book.To Dr. Awdish, you are an amazing woman. You have an amazing husband, though I know you don't need me to tell you that. To have survived what you have and come out stronger than before, you're helping to make our medical system a better place. If I am ever where you live I hope simply to shake your hand and tell you thank you for sharing your life with the world! Thank you!
Reading this book helped me find my voice in years past as a nurse in hospitals or clinics.Times are changing, but in a way the human nature of arrogance and fatigue causes us allto lapse in communication skills or sensitivity. This author is extremely gifted inverbalizing her thoughts after her many crisis were over. Brilliant! I feel this book should berequired reading in nursing and medical schools. I couldn't put the book down and learneddeeper insights into the patient-doctor relationship. I find the principles could also be appliedto other fields where there is a "professional" and a client or parishioner. Experiencing whatothers feel is always a great lesson in humility.
I've been lucky enough to meet Dr. Awdish. She has a kindness and compassion I wish everyone could have. Now I know why. A beautiful, moving story, this should be required reading for anyone in healthcare.
