Free Radical Loving Care: Building the Healing Hospital in America
I was introduced to this wonderful book by an online class. I am an 11 year clinical professional. This book should be a requirement for all clinicians. The humanistic quality of caring in a hospital setting is all but over. There are only a handful of hospitals that follow the Healing Hospital philosophy in this country. Other countries do it as a manner of decency. We are faced with crippling deficits and highly advanced medical technology that the average insured person can not afford. Medical staff has been affected by fewer hours, layoffs, staff cuts from housekeeping to administration. Personel left to take care of patients are overworked and understaffed. It is mandatory to capture every dollar and follow every rule imposed on clinicians by administration, local, state, and federal regulations. Failure to do so is cause for immediate dismissal. There is barely a moment for sociable interaction with the patient. This is why Radical Loving Care is so important. Those few precious moments should be full of loving care and security that all ill patients need in their life-altering situation. It should be our honor and obligation to hold the patient's hand and help them to feel safe in the strange and frightening world of medicine. It is surprising how a stay in the hospital is similar to a stay in prison. Your personal belongings are bagged and tagged. You are given a flimsy, demeaning unisex drape. You're placed in a small room with a stranger. Overhead intercom announces visitors to leave the hospital at the end of visiting hours. We really need to change the system to be more caring and hospitable.

Great book! Enjoyed the ideas and the way Erie writes about putting "CARING" back into Nursing and Healthcare in general. Everyone in Healthcare should read this book and be inspired. I had to read this for a college class and passed it on to a Parish Nurse to enjoy. Pass it on after reading it yourself....
