The Support Group: Connection, Hope, and Healing for Patients and Providers

Shanda Blackmon is a pioneer in thoracic surgery, a skilled professional dedicated to providing the highest quality of care. But as a young doctor early in her career, she was overwhelmed. Her team was working at full capacity, yet Dr. Blackmon struggled to meet the needs of her many patients. Then one day at clinic she noticed patients trading stories in the waiting room, sharing not just valuable advice, but empathy and encouragement. That was the genesis of the support group, a safe place where people dealing with cancer and its aftermath could talk openly about what they were going through. It was a lightbulb experience for Dr. Blackmon. Once she saw the difference a committed ally could make in a patient’s long-term survivorship, Dr. Blackmon sought to extend the principles of support to her colleagues. Physicians, surgeons, and other healthcare workers endure long hours under constant stress and can succumb burnout due to the tidal wave of administrative work, patient complications, and constant pressure from administration to meet impossible demands. One doctor commits suicide every day in the United States, the highest suicide rate of any profession. Understanding and allyship can make a big difference in their lives too. An indispensable resource written by an experienced professional, The Support Group takes a candid look at the role of support in our healthcare practices and offers a workable model for patients, caregivers, and providers alike.

[Spanish] - Bailando la adversidad: Cuando la vida te rompe, pero te da otra oportunidad

¿Cómo empezar de nuevo cuando todo se ha roto en pedazos? En un pequeño pueblo de la Mancha, una niña de familia humilde, hija de un gitano y una paya, soñaba ser bailarina. Con mucho esfuerzo pudo cumplir su sueño. Después de llegar a lo más alto en los musicales con Hoy no me puedo levantar de Nacho Cano y conseguir un papel principal en la serie Gigantes, sufrió un ictus que la dejó incapacitada. Tras varias operaciones, comenzaría toda una travesía de rehabilitación y aprendizaje. Una lucha titánica que le enseñaría a funcionar de otra manera. Un día recibió una llamada muy especial que le cambió la vida. Yolanda Torosio nos cuenta en este libro su proceso de sanación y nos revela la importancia de la actitud y el optimismo para hacer frente a los momentos más amargos. Un sorprendente testimonio sobre el amor a la danza de la vida. Un relato emotivo y sincero de lo que supone tener que empezar de cero y reinventarse. «Comparto mi experiencia con la intención de dar visibilidad a esta enfermedad, y transmitir un mensaje de esperanza, fuerza y positividad dentro de la adversidad, animando a tener una actitud de guerrero, pues las guerras no se ganan si no se luchan. Es muy importante no ponerte limitaciones antes de intentarlo y no permitir que otros te las pongan. El poder de la mente es impredecible y la capacidad del cerebro desconocida. Aquello en lo que pones el foco, el universo lo multiplica. El optimista es más perseverante, lo intenta más veces y eso hace que llegue más lejos. Uno no sabe lo lejos que puede llegar hasta que llega».

Stranded: Finding Nature in Uncertain Times

Marooned in LA by the pandemic, a marine biologist rediscovers the delights and wonders of the natural world in her own backyard. Conservationist and marine biologist Maddalena Bearzi made her career studying the wild creatures of the deep, but when COVID-19 made landfall on the California coast this seafaring scientist found herself shuttered up ashore, her wide blue world constricted by pandemic lockdown. Never good at sitting idle, she despaired at the confines of her Los Angeles flat-until she began to find wonder in the wilderness of her own backyard. Stranded charts Bearzi's discovery of both rapture and resilience in the unsung wildlife of urban LA. With a green thumb and a canine sidekick, she finds as much to marvel at in her garden's singing blackbirds, night-blooming cacti, and industrious wasps as in the whales, dolphins, and sea lions at the center of her maritime adventures. Discovering in the quotidian an antidote to the grief occasioned by captivity and climate chaos, Bearzi reveals how each of us can take heart, find courage, and discover inspiration in the thrumming systems of life that surround us. With a scientist's precision and a poet's instinct, she invites us to look at, listen to, and revel in the everyday grandeur of the natural world-and to embrace, with urgency, our responsibility to sustain it.
