| 1. Nothing is Impossible: Reflections on a New Life | 
|
By: Christopher Reeve Publisher: Ballantine Books April 27, 2004
I just got this book, and I must say it really gives me pause-sometimes i think I am having a bad day, but it is nothing compared to what he went through on a daily basis just to survive, and was still able to make a good life for himself. I love the quote that for the healthy paralysis is a choice, because it feels that way with me sometimes. I wish he had lived long enough for a cure, but I am... more

| 5. Beginnings Count: the Technological Imperative in American Health Care | 
|
By: David J. Rothman Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA January 15, 1997
I was surprised to be the first to offer a user review of this book; it was really fascinating. Rothman provides a short, "page-turner", essay-style book looking at landmark decision points in the development of modern U.S. healthcare, from the invention of the iron lung and renal dialysis (rationing problems), to the political battles between socioeconomic classes, AMA, and unions in... more

|
By: John Callahan Publisher: Vintage April 14, 1990
Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot At 23, also in a car accident, I became a member of the very unpopular club that John Callahan joined, a quadriplegic, although I have slightly more use of my arms.
I'd always been a very funny guy prior to my accident and subsequent to becoming paralyzed, black humor became a tool I used to put people at ease about my disability. I became an... more

| 10. How We Die: Reflections of Life's Final Chapter | 
|
By: Sherwin B. Nuland Publisher: Vintage January 15, 1995
This book should be required reading for anyone contemplating or facing their own death, life's final great adventure.
Probably best read before facing imminent death or the imminent death of a loved one. Read before the "final days," it can give an indication and an appreciation and understanding of what will happen in those final days and hours.
Essentially, the book delivers... more
