Living through the experience of a serious diagnosis brings to
light the effect illness has on the human perspective. From the
search for a heart for a dying husband and father to the reality of
the death of a loved one, The Conflict of Caring follows the story
of one family's struggle to maneuver the healthcare system and
their perception of the people within it. The feeling of loss of
control during the time of a stressful illness is told through a
personal and touching view point that will generate laughter and
tears and the feeling of personally "living through" the situation.
As the focus moves from sitting next to the hospital bed to
standing over it, the loved one-now nurse brings a new light to the
healthcare experience. Poignant stories of the fortitude of
patients told through the eyes of the nurse demonstrate a
vulnerable yet interconnected relationship between them. All the
perceptions of being a family member and nurse are now blurred by
being the one affected by an illness. As a patient, the author now
brings the story full circle and draws from past experiences to
eventually become a participant in life instead of a victim of it.
The Conflict of Caring focuses on the human side of health care.
Talking, listening, understanding and caring are at the root of
this relationship, and these basic needs are as important as any
medical ones.
