The Patient's Gift (Paperback)

Many day-to-day experiences can be taken for granted, until you couple them with life-altering experiences witnessed in the emergency department. Many people have no idea what it is like to treat severely ill, injured, and sometimes dying patients, and then switch gears and simply become a mom. In this book, Dr. Charlene Babcock Irvin attempts to share what this experience is like. She couples special moments with her children with corresponding lessons learned from patients she has treated. Together, they help to create perspective in our lives. Many of the simple things in life can be taken for granted, until you read The Patient's Gift.
