In the Shadow of Illness

Rating:
Summary: A useful resource for parents of CF kids
Review: I really enjoyed this book. As a parent of a child with Cystic Fibrosis I found this book to be useful. It allowed me to see into the lives of other families living with CF, to see the different stages that parents and those affected with CF go through during the course of the disease.

Summary: As a pediatrician, I find this book a great asset.
Review: This book delineates how often we physicians in our efforts to serve a family with a child with a serious illness or a chronic problem forget that there are other children in a family who need our services. One woman at 27 told me that during her childhood when she came to see me in my office my first words were "How's your sister?" I never felt as tho I had a mother a father or a doctor in those days". How right she was. If I had read this book I never would have made this error. It is a must for all pediatricians. Morris Wessel, M.D.
