This Book May Save Your Life
What an eye-opener! Warrior patient was a huge wake-up call for me as it should be for anyone, like me, asleep at the wheel on the road to personal medical care. If you have any health woes whatsoever or a loved one that does, RUN- DO NOT WALK- to get this book. While “must read” is generally overused, it genuinely applies to Warrior Patient.

I have great admiration for the author/patient, Temple, for boldly airing his dirty laundry/aka health issues- the good, the bad and the ugly. Mostly ugly. Takes courage. You fall in love with him and his beloved Kerstin. And Temple’s delightful sense of humor is the spoon full of sugar that helps the medicine go down- the medicine being, for the reader, the stark truth that we must take full responsibility for our medical care. You love Temple and hate the Doctors that cause him harm. Shame on them. Yet in the book, we learn its shame on US for not doing our homework and researching just who we put in charge of our precious bodies. Temple learns the hard way. We learn from Temple. How many of us blindly trust our Doctors assuming they are Gods of sorts that can do no wrong? Temple’s cautionary tale shook me wide awake. It reminds me of the time I suffered greatly from a Doctor’s incompetence. Thanks to Temple, I am no longer naïve. There can be no doubt the reason Temple survived so many close calls with death is this book. He had to live to write it. For us. For our loved ones. To help us evolve, like him, from “medical dope to healthy hope”.

This is one of the most important books you will ever read. I am glad it found its way into my hands. Thank you, Temple. Five stars.… (plus d'informations)

Warrior Patient is an uplifting memoir about surviving the best medical system our civilization has ever know. Written with humor, it follows one patient through the medical quicksand of cancer, renal failure, kidney dialysis, life-threatening infections, partial blindness, open wounds, shingles, hernias, MRSA, and a little amputation. It is a book of survival, hope, love and laughter ... and life-saving lessons for patients, doctors and caregivers. Today, the author has fully recovered, plays tennis as much as seven days a week, laughs, writes, edits and has a life. He's living proof that it can be done.… (plus d'informations)
