ELDER RAGE is a Book-of-the-Month Club selection (a caregiving book first ) receiving 50+ endorsements (Hugh Downs, Regis Philbin, Leeza Gibbons, Ken Dychtwald, John Hopkins Memory Clinic, Harvard Medical School... ), 500+ 5-Star Amazon reviews, is required text at numerous universities for courses in geriatric assessment and management, and considered for a film. She gave up her career as a television executive, went through 40 caregivers and cried rivers for a year before solving the endless crisis medically, behaviorally, socially, legally, financially and emotionally. Passion to save others from a similar experience resulted in her first book, "Elder Rage", a Book-of-the-Month Club selection receiving 50 prestigious endorsements, over 300 5-Star Amazon reviews, is required reading for courses in geriatric assessment and management, and being considered for a film. Delivered with a humorous tone to make a tough subject palatable, Marcell relates how she fought through an unsympathetic medical system and endured her "Jekyll & Hyde" father's wrath, until she finally found help for him and her ailing mother. Statistically families (and doctors who are not dementia specialists) ignore early warning signs because they incorrectly believe that intermittently odd behaviors are just stress and a normal part of aging. He prescribed medication to slow the dementia and improve her father's cognitive functioning (Aricept, Exelon, Razadyne, Namenda), and treated the aggression and (often-present) depression. The final key was getting herself into a support group and getting her parents out of bed ("waiting to die") and enrolled in physical and emotional therapies at an Adult Day Health Care, which completely turned their lives around at 80 and 85. Marcell adds, "75% of dementia patients are cared for at home and sadly elder abuse is rising dramatically because families are unprepared for the frustrations. Marcell emphasizes, "Dementia costs American business multi-billions of dollars a year--largely due to lost productivity from absenteeism of employees who must take time off to care for ailing loved ones.

"I have been her main caregiver since Dad passed away several years ago and she directs all her anger and frustration at me."
"Ms Marcell's book is helpful in that anyone going through a similar situation can find some parallels and insight into the world of dementia."
"Dealing with my mum, who has Lewy Body Dementia, and reading many other books, I was at first put off by the humor in this book; however, I realized that without the humor it would have been rife with stress, worry, and a completely different story - one that would be hard to plow through. With dementia,a caregiver and the family needs to hold on to their humor for their own sakes, and this book helps. I highly recommend this book for those who are trying to accomplish the same herculean feat, as well as others who may be facing the possibility of dealing with their parents."
"It brings into focus many of the issues anyone coping with dementia will face - the frustration with doctors and others who simply do not understand, the uncanny ability of the demented person to appear perfectly 'normal' to others, and many other aspects of the situation that sometimes leave one wondering who is the ill person."
"And thirdly, it is a story about the medical and legal establishment, and how uncaring and out of touch they often are with the lives and problems of the people they supposedly serve. It is Jacqueline's deepest desire, I believe, to help others to benefit from her struggles, and I highly recommend this book as a very useful resource to help guide you along what can be a very lonesome and difficult, yet extremely rewarding, path."
"Good information."
"This book is making me laugh about a serious situation."
Share The Care offers a sensible and loving solution: a unique group approach that can turn a circle of ordinary people into a powerful caregiving team. By developing "caring networks," the work is spread among friends, neighbors, and family members, alleviating stress on the primary caregiver and providing peace of mind to the patient. Writing pleasantly and calmly and organizing their material admirably, they advise dealing with caregiver burnout by forming an "alternate family" and spreading the responsibilities and strain of providing care to the stricken among them. Capossela and Warnock's meticulous coverage of every phase and eventuality of a sensitive situation and the fact that the book is easy to use as a reference make it outstanding in a crowded field.

"The second copy is with a terminally ill friend for whom we are about to set up a caring group and the third copy is now in my hands as convenor of the group. I can highly recommend this practical and thoughtful book as a blueprint to establishing caring groups for those who are terminally ill or temporarily dependent on others."
"When faced with an eldercare or illness care crisis, did you ever think you would hear the words "You don't have to..." without feeling guilt? Between these covers is a complete how-to manual on setting up a care-sharing group that will continue to function for several years if necessary and out of which everyone emerges enriched. The authors first introduce you to the case that launched their method, that of a terminally ill cancer patient friend. But the alternative - that of the classic 36 hr day for one or two hapless family members - is so clearly worse that you might as well try it."
"It gives the coordinator a good idea of the strengths, weaknesses, likes and dislikes of each individual which helps immensely in putting the team together and scheduling."
"Great book for anyone who wants to set up a support group in a way that lets all participants contribute as much or as little as they feel they can and that provides a real support not only for the person who is sick, but also for the primary caregiver(s)."
"This book is an excellent guide for establishing a support system for someone who is unable to meet their own daily living needs - for a short or long period of time, temporarily or until their death."

In Being Mortal , bestselling author Atul Gawande tackles the hardest challenge of his profession: how medicine can not only improve life but also the process of its ending Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming birth, injury, and infectious disease from harrowing to manageable. If you said “true,” you’d be right, of course, but that’s a statement that demands an asterisk, a “but.” “We’ve been wrong about what our job is in medicine,” writes Atul Gawande, a surgeon (at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston) and a writer (at the New Yorker). And well-being is about the reasons one wishes to be alive.” Through interviews with doctors, stories from and about health care providers (such as the woman who pioneered the notion of “assisted living” for the elderly)—and eventually, by way of the story of his own father’s dying, Gawande examines the cracks in the system of health care to the aged (i.e. 97 percent of medical students take no course in geriatrics) and to the seriously ill who might have different needs and expectations than the ones family members predict. (One striking example: the terminally ill former professor who told his daughter that “quality of life” for him meant the ongoing ability to enjoy chocolate ice cream and watch football on TV. And in a war that you cannot win, you don’t want a general who fights to the point of total annihilation. You want Robert E. Lee... someone who knows how to fight for territory that can be won and how to surrender it when it can’t.” In his compassionate, learned way, Gawande shows all of us—doctors included—how mortality must be faced, with both heart and mind. “ Being Mortal , Atul Gawande's masterful exploration of aging, death, and the medical profession's mishandling of both, is his best and most personal book yet.” ― Boston Globe. For more than a decade, Atul Gawande has explored the fault lines of medicine . combining his years of experience as a surgeon with his gift for fluid, seemingly effortless storytelling . has provided us with a moving and clear-eyed look at aging and death in our society, and at the harms we do in turning it into a medical problem, rather than a human one.” ― The New York Review of Books. “A deeply affecting, urgently important book--one not just about dying and the limits of medicine but about living to the last with autonomy, dignity, and joy.” ―Katherine Boo. Gawande's book is not of the kind that some doctors write, reminding us how grim the fact of death can be. Rather, he shows how patients in the terminal phase of their illness can maintain important qualities of life.” ― Wall Street Journal (Best Books of 2014). “ Being Mortal left me tearful, angry, and unable to stop talking about it for a week. A surgeon himself, Gawande is eloquent about the inadequacy of medical school in preparing doctors to confront the subject of death with their patients. “We have come to medicalize aging, frailty, and death, treating them as if they were just one more clinical problem to overcome. Being Mortal is not only wise and deeply moving, it is an essential and insightful book for our times, as one would expect from Atul Gawande, one of our finest physician writers.” ―Oliver Sacks. “A great read that leaves you better equipped to face the future, and without making you feel like you just took your medicine.” ― Mother Jones (Best Books of 2014). One hopes it is the spark that ignites some revolutionary changes in a field of medicine that ultimately touches each of us.” ― Shelf Awareness (Best Books of 2014). “A needed call to action, a cautionary tale of what can go wrong, and often does, when a society fails to engage in a sustained discussion about aging and dying.” ― San Francisco Chronicle.

Find Best Price at Amazon"People of any age want the right to lock their doors, set the temperature they want, dress how they like, eat what they want, admit visitors only when they're in the mood. Yet, nursing homes (and even assisted living communities) are geared toward making these decisions for people in order to keep them safe, gain government funds, and ensure a routine for the facility. In addition, Dr. Gawande shows how end-of-life physical conditions are most often treated as medical crises needing to be "fixed," instead of managed for quality of life when treatment has become futile. He tells a great story of a doctor who convinced a nursing home to bring in two dogs, four cats and one hundred birds!"
"In reading many of his previous books I found he always asked questions: Why do we do things; for what purpose; is this working to achieve the best results for the patient in his physical and cultural circumstance? In speaking of elder care he sadly points out that "Our reluctance to honestly examine the experience of aging and dying has increased the harm and suffering we inflict on people and has denied them the basic comforts they need most". He looks at the "Dying Role" as the end approaches describing it as the patient's ability to "share memories, pass on wisdom and keepsakes, settle relationships, establish legacies and make peace with their God. Gawande shares his deep seated feelings in this book by revealing personal vignettes of how friends and family coped with these powerful and challenging issues."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The research was backed by both science and experience from a practicing MD and the entire book was full of hope and encouragement! Because autoimmunity is on the rise, I am grateful knowing that there are MD’s like Amy Myers that take a functional medicine approach and share the information with the world. In fact one in particular is full of research and information and even with my medical background, I find it hard to comprehend and apply. Not only does Dr. Myers explain the causes of autoimmunity and share her story and real life examples, but also she equips the reader, educates and even empowers them to take health into their own hands."
"The doctor explains that when she had an autoimmune condition, conventional medicine was no good--in fact, it completely failed her: "About 10 years ago I developed an autoimmune condition - and conventional medicine failed me. This book was of special interest to me, since I suffer from one of the medical problems that Dr. Myers says is worsened by autoimmune issues. The solution to autoimmune problems is one that the author is using in her medical practice--a system of diet she developed over many years of observation and tests. The doctor cites some scientific studies, but her ideas are primarily based on her own observations and practice as a physician: "I'm an MD myself, so I don't like to criticize other doctors, let alone their standard protocols, but the truth must be told: when it comes to the treatment of autoimmune conditions, conventional medicine has failed miserably." I thought the biggest weakness in THE AUTOIMMUNE SOLUTION is the lack of compelling scientific studies that led to her findings."
"Eventually there were five surgeries on the hip and throughout the entire process the blood markers never rose but remain subclinical. I never went back on the immune suppressant drugs and I remain on a gluten and grain free diet today. I had the benefit of Dr. Amy's personal encouragement but for those without that opportunity, this book is a wonderful practical guide to the management of these autoimmune conditions."
Best Physician & Patient Diagnosis
Groopman explores why doctors err and shows when and how they can -- with our help -- avoid snap judgments, embrace uncertainty, communicate effectively, and deploy other skills that can profoundly impact our health. This book is the first to describe in detail the warning signs of erroneous medical thinking and reveal how new technologies may actually hinder accurate diagnoses. Drawing on both personal experience and extensive field research, Dr. Groopman sheds light on the faulty decision making that leads otherwise competent physicians down the wrong path in diagnosing and treating their patients. Like the heroic fictional doctors in prime-time television medical dramas, Groopman advances a humane, patient-focused agenda that flies in the face of the bureaucratic, institutional establishment, but refreshingly, he manages to steer clear of pat answers and smug solutions that characterize much of the popular media's take on health care.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Not to spoil much of the information in the book, the author does an exceptional job at portraying what healthcare is really like. I do not want to spoil the information from his book, but it is an amazing read for anything who wants insight into healthcare."
"Superb insight into the way doctors are trained to think, and how patients can use that understanding to get better care."
"This book should be on the "required-reading" list of every doctor and every patient."
"Groopman's thesis is that, contra to what is taught in medical schools, the very best doctors do not follow the algorithmic, Bayesian diagnostic process. However, doctors are often faced with vague or multiple and confusing symptoms, as well as inexact or inconclusive test results: "In such cases--the kinds of cases where we most need a discerning doctor--algorithms discourage physicians from thinking independently and creatively. Rather than admonish doctors for this, he acknowledges his own failings and provides examples of his failures and how he fell prey to these same biases. Because humans are hard wired to commit these errors, doctors need to be even more aware of the limitations of Bayesian analysis. Groopman writes: "Because of some puzzling, troubling, interesting phenomena, a physician expresses uncertainty, takes the time to reflect, and allows himself to be vulnerable. Each chapter feels like it could have been a separate article in a magazine, and I suspect much of the insight from the book could have been presented in just that format."
"Intended as a guide for patients to understand their doctors, this is invaluable to healthcare providers as well."
"Quite often when a doctor is seeing a patient, they are problem and task oriented; and, being pressed for time, they rarely think beyond acquiring and communicating the minimum information needed to get the job done from their point of view."
"Very important book for patients."

Born a poor black tobacco farmer, her cancer cells - taken without her knowledge - became a multimillion-dollar industry and one of the most important tools in medicine. Balancing the beauty and drama of scientific discovery with dark questions about who owns the stuff our bodies are made of, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is an extraordinary journey in search of the soul and story of a real woman, whose cells live on today in all four corners of the world. "An extraordinary mix of memoir and science reveals the story of how one woman's cells have saved countless lives" Daily Telegraph. Amazon Best Books of the Month, February 2010 : From a single, abbreviated life grew a seemingly immortal line of cells that made some of the most crucial innovations in modern science possible. Henrietta Lacks was a mother of five in Baltimore, a poor African American migrant from the tobacco farms of Virginia, who died from a cruelly aggressive cancer at the age of 30 in 1951. A sample of her cancerous tissue, taken without her knowledge or consent, as was the custom then, turned out to provide one of the holy grails of mid-century biology: human cells that could survive--even thrive--in the lab. Meanwhile, Henrietta's family continued to live in poverty and frequently poor health, and their discovery decades later of her unknowing contribution--and her cells' strange survival--left them full of pride, anger, and suspicion. Jad Abumrad is host and creator of the public radio hit Radiolab , now in its seventh season and reaching over a million people monthly. Just the simple facts are hard to believe: that in 1951, a poor black woman named Henrietta Lacks dies of cervical cancer, but pieces of the tumor that killed her--taken without her knowledge or consent--live on, first in one lab, then in hundreds, then thousands, then in giant factories churning out polio vaccines, then aboard rocket ships launched into space. The cells from this one tumor would spawn a multi-billion dollar industry and become a foundation of modern science--leading to breakthroughs in gene mapping, cloning and fertility and helping to discover how viruses work and how cancer develops (among a million other things). But what's truly remarkable about Rebecca Skloot 's book is that we also get the rest of the story, the part that could have easily remained hidden had she not spent ten years unearthing it: Who was Henrietta Lacks? (1999)Main Street in downtown Clover, Virginia, where Henrietta was raised, circa 1930s.Margaret Gey and Minnie, a lab technician, in the Gey lab at Hopkins, circa 1951.Deborah with her children, LaTonya and Alfred, and her second husband, James Pullum, in the mid-1980s.In 2001, Deborah developed a severe case of hives after learning upsetting new information about her mother and sister.Deborah and her cousin Gary Lacks standing in front of drying tobacco, 2001.The Lacks family in 2009.

"In “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks,” Rebecca Skloot introduces us to the “real live woman,” the children who survived her, and the interplay of race, poverty, science and one of the most important medical discoveries of the last 100 years. Skloot narrates the science lucidly, tracks the racial politics of medicine thoughtfully and tells the Lacks family’s often painful history with grace. When science appears, it does so effortlessly, with explanations of cell anatomy or techniques like “fluorescence in situ hybridization” seamlessly worked into descriptions of the coloured wards of Johns Hopkins hospital to Lacks’s hometown of Clover, Virginia. And yet for all its grand scope, skilful writing and touching compassion, there is one simple element that makes As a final thought, I was struck by the parallels between Henrietta’s cells and her story."

"My time with Dr. Bellg's book was profound: inspiring, comforting, and a gentle reminder of so much that I can easily forget . The book leads the reader on a fascinating journey, exploring the different aspects of near-death experiences and demonstrating the need to keep an open mind about the phenomenon, because we don't know the whole story yet." His next awareness found him completely and peacefully enveloped in what he could only describe as a soft shroud of mist with tiny points of light blinking in and out quickly as they moved all around him. The feeling of love was immense, almost unbearable, and recalling it now, Dr. John's voice became fragile as he paused to fight back tears. He described floating in such a beautiful and bright place of total peace that he lost all thoughts and concerns related to anything connected to his physical existence. Still feeling peaceful and detached, he felt himself descending and slowly his body came back into view as the mist surrounding him dissipated and he could once more hear the clamor and tension of the operating room. Hovering above the scene, he watched the weak representation of his pulse on the monitor slowly gain strength as the resuscitation efforts of the surgical team reclaimed their hold on Dr. John's physical body.
