People go to the hospital. People die. “Warrior Patient” tries to put as much distance as possible between those two sentences. The world we live in right now has the best doctors and the most advanced medical system that our civilization has ever known. Yet in the United States 100,000 patients die and nine million suffer injury every year because of medical mistakes. That comes from the Reuters’ news wire. In this extraordinary age of medical miracles, patients continue to sink into the quicksand of “going to the hospital.” We all know or have heard about someone who checked in for “normal” surgery which led to their death. A cartoon actually made a joke out of this. It shows a doctor in a laboratory surrounded by white lab rats. His wide eyes and smile suggest he is having a brilliant eureka moment. “We don’t need better medicine,” the doctor announces to his colleagues, “we need stronger lab rats.” Like it or not, in our medical system, we are the lab rats. How else can you explain 100,000 deaths and nine million injuries every year? You are about to become part of a journey from medical dope to healthy hope. It lasts three years and includes cancer, kidney failure, dialysis, deadly infections, partial blindness, shingles, large open wounds, a hernia and a little amputation. In the midst of all that illness, you will laugh and learn how to become a much stronger lab rat. Warrior Patients take advantage of America’s fabulous medical system. Warrior Patients do NOT get taken advantage of BY that system. The story unfolds with humor and an anecdote-rich honesty that captures characters, times, and places, from good doctors to bad ones, from childhood to old age, from Africa to Sweden. Upbeat suspense shines a light on what it takes to become a “Warrior Patient”, to survive, to live again. Enjoy the trip.
