Written by award-winning writer Sophie Petit-Zeman, this book argues that getting better is about people, not about politics, posturing and pride. It's about recognizing that, well or ill, we're in it together.Written as part novel, part debate, the book tells the touching, sometimes funny, often provocative story of the Johnson family, as son Daniel grows up with a life-shortening illness. Bringing to the fore the 'big issues' that beset the NHS today, the story is followed by a series of thought-provoking, informative essays which dissect and discuss dilemmas ranging from the political football of choice to the nightmares of jargon, mistakes and superbugs.Innovative in style and content, this book is relevant to anyone who's ever been ill, seen a doctor, cared for patients or faced health-related dilemmas or difficulties.Petit-Zeman, Sophie is the author of 'Doctor, What's Wrong Making The Nhs Human Again', published 2005 under ISBN 9780415351553 and ISBN 0415351553.
