The lonely patient: how we experience illness
Medicine
Human-narrated audio, Human-transcribed braille
Summary
Despite years of medical training and practice, only when his brother-in-law Richard was diagnosed with a rare cancer did internist Stein contemplate the psychological effects of illness. During the next eight years, as Richard fought a losing battle, Stein witnessed… how he and other patients dealt with chronic and terminal illnesses and how caretakers and loved ones were affected. He compares it to living in a strange, new place in which one experiences four emotional stages: betrayal, terror, loss, and loneliness. Some strong language. 2007.
