We were visiting with friends this past Saturday. We did not have a chance to check out one of their most recent publications.
Good reviews, Put this on your reading list.
FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII PRESS:A Literature and Medicine Anthology
Imagine What It’s Like: A Literature and Medicine Anthology, edited by Ruth Nadelhaft, with Victoria Bonebakker, grew out of Literature and Medicine: Humanities at the Heart of Health Care, a national award-winning reading and discussion program for health care professionals that, according to one participant, “renews the heart and soul of health care.” Started by the Maine Humanities Council in 1997, by the beginning of its second decade, Literature and Medicine has reached across the country, from Florida to Montana, Maine to Hawai‘i. Bringing together diverse groups of health care professionals in a variety of health care settings, Literature and Medicine discussions help participants deepen their communication and interpresonal skills while increasing their cultural awareness, empathy for patients, and job satisfaction.

I am delighted that you are interested in the Maine Humanities Council's new anthology - thanks for blogging about it. This has been a project long in the making and we are very proud of the reception it has been receiving nationwide, both inside and outside of our Literature and Medicine program.
While the anthology was designed to support the program, it's equally useful for a general audience - anyone who is interested in the intersections between health, health care, and the human condition. - Erik C. Jorgensen (Maine Humanities Council)
One more note from Erik, this one of a technical nature: seems that the most recent "Tremors" posts have been in the form of characters (What my macintosh computer calls "wingdings") they look like heiroglyphs on my screen!!
I can read by copying them to a word document where they translate to normal text, but I wanted you to know about this problem.
I have enjoyed reading your posts about the experience of Parkinson's - I am moved and touched by the human face you put on your experience with this tragic disease. Thank you!
THANK YOU ERIK J FOR THE UPTIK ON MY MISUSE OF THE WEBDINGS..AN OVERSIGHT ON MY PART...THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS ON OUR BLOG.
