Download or read book My Christmas of Miracles and Other Short Stories About Organ Transplant written by Mary Jarrett Saubert and published by Inspiring Voices. This book was released on 2012-09-26 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since I first started working with organ transplant recipients and their support systems, donors, and donor families, I have been driven to educate the public about this miraculous process of giving life from one person to another. Many myths abound in the community about organ donation and transplantation that prevent people from committing to organ donation. For years, I have searched for ways to provide accurate information to the public to help them better understand the process of organ donation and transplantation. Each state has an organ-procurement organization that trains volunteers, many of them organ recipients, people waiting for a transplant, and donor families, to speak to schools and organizations, as well as providing booths at fairs, churches, etc. Even so, thousands of potential recipients die every year because there are not enough donors. When I became aware of Inspiring Voices, I realized that I already had written about several patients who had deeply touched me. It occurred to me that by making their journeys available in book form, many more people could be reached. My Christmas of Miracles and Other Short Stories about Organ Transplant was written to bring their stories to life.

Download or read book The Gift of Life written by Traci Graf and published by Firefly Books. This book was released on 2014-06-02 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Organ transplants are a very controversial and unique area of medicine. Those of us who work as Transplant Coordinators were frequently referred to by hospital staff as 'organ vultures' behind our backs, but also many times within earshot. I felt this reference to extremely ugly birds was unfair and short sighted. I did say once in a while to a difficult staff person, 'if your kid needed a transplant wouldn't you hope that someone was out there being as ethically aggressive about finding an organ as they can?' That usually shut them up quickly." -- from the Foreword One of the miracles of modern medicine is the ability of surgeons to transplant organs. Often, it's the only way to save the life of a person whose own kidneys, lungs, liver or heart are failing. But with barely 2 percent of critically ill patients suitable for organ donation, the demand far exceeds the number of organs that become available. The Gift of Life is about the remarkable world of organ transplant coordinators, profiles of the men and women who locate and arrange for the donation of organs from those who are dying and wish to live on in others' bodies through this selfless gift. Traci Graf tells the riveting story of this unique and demanding branch of medicine. Transplant coordinators review the medical files and charts on all patients whose condition is so severe that they are not expected to live. Their task is to convince the patient (or the patient's family) to allow organs to be donated immediately upon death. The transplant coordinator works to saves lives by finding and obtaining consent for as many organ donations as possible. In The Gift of Life, transplant coordinator Traci Graf recounts the stress, drama and joy of working long hours dealing with emotionally distraught family members and overworked medical staff, and the emotional toll of a job that means the difference between life and death for the recipients. Packed with riveting first person narrative, The Gift of Life will appeal to anyone interested in modern medical practice and the lives and challenges faced by nurses and doctors who work to offer critically ill patients the gift of life thanks to donors' foresight and generosity.

But after much soul searching Anne discovered the source that would propel her back into a positive appreciation of life, love, nature and self. Rich with poetry and vivid descriptions of her life, Journeying Beyond Grief is a moving account of Annes heartache, how she faced her demons and moved on. Powerful, challenging and inspiring, What if I whispered your name should motivate and encourage others undertaking a similar journey.

When she pulled through the second time, she had to learn to eat and walk again. She realised then that she had to heal all of herselfnot only physically, but also mentally, emotionally and spiritually; what she calls the four bodies. Deidre is now in full remission.

Download or read book Viral written by Prof. Dr. Michael J. Capone and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every human has enormous talent and seeks to realize their full potential. We all want to be unique, special, good and extraordinary. But most of us today are not exceptional. Most of us have not yet discovered and fully developed our talents and we are not contributing to society. We instinctively want to fit in, be normal, and belong. Our urge to be accepted and loved compels us to conform by adopting the attitudes of others. We think and behave how our friends and family expect us to. Often, the attitudes and beliefs promoted by our friends and family do not facilitate individual growth. They suffocate our personal development and influence decisions that often result in dissatisfaction, sadness, frustration, anger, stress, and even depression and illness. We become so burdened with health, security, and relationship issues, that we have no time, energy or resources to develop our talents and achieve our full potential as human beings. We are caught as individuals and as a society-in crises created and compounded by our strong allegiance to friends and family.

Tim discusses how persevering with those difficult shots will determine our life’s success. Since nothing is perfect in life, the author has found that he is a “successful survivor.” He found at an early age that perseverance, along with hard work and dedication, were the keys to victory in life. Gocke’s book discusses the many peaks and valleys in his life’s journey, but most of all, how he reached those peaks and endured those valleys through perseverance. So sit back and enjoy the ride! His many true, believe it or not stories will fascinate and amaze you. You may even wonder, while reading his book, how did he make it through this difficult journey of his? Of course, the answer is in his book and with God. God’s best shots have given Gocke much more than an outside shot in life.

Download or read book Life Goes On written by Christine Jowett and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a reality that someone in Canada dies every three days waiting for an organ transplant; for some patients, they are lying in their hospital beds, waiting to be given a second chance at life. Some are fortunate to receive that organ or gift of life, yet for many, they don’t survive because the organ they require is either not available or doesn’t get there in time. Christine Jowett was only thirteen years old when she became jaundiced, fatigued, and endured bouts of right abdominal pain. Having lived with autoimmune hepatitis for twenty-six years, Christine’s disease finally took its toll on her and she ended up in St. Mary’s Hospital, where she works as a cardiology nurse. In order to save her life, she was then sent to Toronto General Hospital to wait for a liver transplant, yet, her situation continued to deteriorate as her kidneys were shutting down. Now at forty-one years old, a mother and a wife, it still remains a mystery as to why Christine developed chronic autoimmune hepatitis, a disease that for so long through her life she was able to manage with few medications. Life Goes On is a moving story of her life, which tells of her sickness, facing up to the possibility of losing her family, and the struggle to regain the normality of life after her operation. After the tragic death of an anonymous hero, Christine is given the ultimate gift of life, a healthy organ, on one very special day.
