Listening to patients
My focus, in the ED world, is on parents. Not because I care more about parents than patients, but because I think getting information and resources for parents is one of the most important tools for helping patients and their families.
And the reality is that a chronically ill patient (or worse) isn't alone in the agony: a whole family, a community is affected. The loss of a full life touches everyone.
But of course, the patient is the focus. F.E.A.S.T. has just published a page of letters and interviews of patients - telling parents their feelings about treatment. Over time we'll add more, and we welcome your comments and additions.

What a great addition to the F.E.A.S.T. website - I will let my clients know about this new resource!
