Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Excellent description of her illness and how she felt, her treatment and also how her coworkers reacted to her illness. A prime example of why everyone needs to have their own patient advocate in order to get treated appropriately as health care workers are seeing you for the first time and they don't know how you were originally and may think this is normal behavior for you.

Which scene was your favorite?

The hospital description that she has to recreate from the chart notes, family notes and videos during her stay on the epilepsy unit.

Any additional comments?

Highly recommend for families that are dealing with a rare disease and trying to get a diagnosis and treatment.

Very informative

Revisado: 03-31-17

Sue brings out many important issues that affect life in all of us. I think she does a very good job in analyzing the many dynamics that were a part of this tragedy and I believe that everyone who reads this book will learn something to make each one of us a better individual. No one can truly know what any individual feels or thinks- professionals, parents or friends. I applaud her for sharing so everyone can learn and better understand those around us and our own feelings.

The mental aspect of endurance/extreme athletes

Revisado: 01-19-17

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

I enjoyed the comparison between different sports top athletes and what drives them, what that athlete feels is their weakness or what happened when they didn't perform as "expected" by sports commentators. Most people don't realize that just because your on top at any given moment how you may be struggling psychologically and how they get through that.

Any additional comments?

Overall a good read, but there were times my attention was lost with some of the explanations.

Terribly sad but happens frequently

Revisado: 04-03-15

Mental health affects many more than just the person as it did in this book. Many people just don't talk about it. This would be a good book to open up the discussion.
