Strength and Compassion in Kidney Failure: Writings of Mildred (Barry) Friedman Professional Kidney Patients


Written from the perspective of the joy of celebrating life rather than lamenting the scourge of chronic illness, this collection of medical columns, short stories and letters recounts the wonderful and upbeat tale of coping, surviving and prevailing. Starting out as a medical technician, wife and mother faced with progressive loss of sight and ambulation, Barry Friedman devised strategies for using her intellect to benefit other patients and medical professionals.
