A proposito di questo titolo
As Chief of Surgical Oncology at Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Steven Curley has worked with cancer patients for over two decades. While his life's work has been to help his patients live longer lives, he found that they helped him in ways he never could have expected. In My Hands is a rare, often emotional look at some of Dr. Curley's real patients and real situations in modern cancer care. These stories of resilience, hope, and determination changed and inspired Dr. Curley, and he uses these same stories to encourage patients dealing with the fear and uncertainty coupled with a diagnosis of cancer. Every story in the book has a theme inspired by his patients: Hope, Courage, Strength, Determination, Wonder, Cooperation, Creativity, Diligence, Service, Perseverance, Wisdom, Grace, Consideration, Gratitude, Discernment, Reverence, Resourcefulness, Faith, Beauty, Acceptance, and Empathy. Some are positive messages, reminding us of the importance of maintaining balance between family, work, and leisure activities. Others are examples of the remarkable resilience of the human spirit when facing the reality of and the surgical risks that accompany a cancer diagnosis. Realistically, despite remarkable advances in multidisciplinary cancer care, some remind us cancer is still a potentially lethal and destructive disease affecting patients and the family and friends supporting them. While many people are told that there is no hope in their situation, Dr. Curley's patients taught him to always provide hope, to push the envelope and give people a chance, and that hope is a critical component of treatment and care. In My Hands is medical narrative at its finest, and provides insight into medicine and patient care along with fascinating details about one of our most feared diseases.
Recensioni della critica
"This collection of wonderful stories is a tribute to the indomitable spirit, courage, endurance and strength of patients with cancer and their families. Woven throughout the stories is a powerful, timeless message to all who care for patients with cancer: our job is to relieve suffering and maintain hope; hope should not die long before the patient."—Courtney M. Townsend, Jr. MD, FACS
"Our life is a story. Deep down we all want to be remembered as a 'good' story, whether happy or sad. Thank you, Steve, for taking the time to learn your patients' stories and to pass them on to the rest of us. In a time of increasing pressure to generate revenue, it's easy to get medical with a patient and their family to sound smart in route to getting through another clinic. IN MY HANDS poignantly and joyfully reminds us that we all have a story and that is important that it be told!"—Carlton Barnett, Jr., MD, Chief of Surgical Oncology, Eastern Colorado VA Healthcare System, Professor, University of Colorado
"In My Hands, by Steve Curley, MD, is an extraordinary series of stories, reflections, and lessons drawn from three decades of experience as one of the world's most renowned cancer surgeons. Dr. Curley's lifelong mission to combat cancer through heroic operations and innovative research is brought to life through the remarkable stories of his interactions with patients. Anyone whose life has been touched by cancer will find meaning in these words."—Kelly M. McMasters, MD, PhD, Ben A. Reid, Sr., MD Professor and Chair, The Hiram C. Polk Jr., MD Department of Surgery, University of Louisville School of Medicine
"In My Hands is a masterful presentation of how one of the leading cancer specialists world-wide approaches the patient burdened by malignancy. A series of vignettes describing actual patient encounters, informative and accessible to lay people and professionals alike, describe the approach that Dr. Curley uses in helping those in need of both his technical surgical skills as well as his unusual blend of insight, astute powers of observation, and understanding of this difficult terrain---all against the backdrop of personal humility injected with a powerful brand of humanism. A must read for those entrusted, and aspiring to be entrusted, with the care of other human beings confronted by the most serious of challenges."—Raphael E. Pollock, MD, PhD, FACS, Professor and Director, The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center
