Book SynopsisAn action-oriented and radically hopeful field guide to the underground, patient-led revolution for better health and health care.Anyone who has fallen off the conveyer belt of mainstream health care and into the shadowy corners of illness knows what a dark place it is to land. Where is the infrastructure, the information, the guidance? What should you do next? In Rebel Health, Susannah Fox draws on twenty years of tracking the expert networks of patients, survivors, and caregivers who have come of age between the cracks of the health care system to offer a way forward. Covering everything from diabetes to ALS to Moebius Syndrome to chronic disease management, Fox taps into the wisdom of these individuals, learns their ways, and fuels the rebel alliance that is building up our collective capacity for better health.Rebel Health shows how the next wave of health innovation will come from the front lines of this patient-led revolution. Fox identifies and describes four archetypes of this revolution: seekers, networkers, solvers, and champions. Each chapter includes tips, such as picking a proxy to help you navigate the relevant online communities, or learning how to pitch new ideas to investors and partners or new treatments to the FDA. On a personal level, anyone who wants to navigate the health care maze faster will want to become a health rebel or recruit some to their team. On a systemic level, it is a competitive advantage for businesses, governments, and organizations to understand and leverage the power of connection among patients, survivors, and caregivers. Proactive, optimistic, and innovative, Rebel Health is a guiding light for anyone who wishes to join the health rebel alliance and become the hero of their own story.

Book SynopsisApproximately one in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage but for each woman the experience is unique. This sympathetic and helpful book explores the many different ways in which women physically experience miscarriage and emotionally react to it. Drawing on the experiences of over 350 women, it will help every woman who has miscarried make sense of her loss and find her own way of coping with the confusion that frequently follows.Many aspects of miscarriage are covered including difficult issues that are often avoided:* the nature of the loss: tissue, embryo, foetus or baby?* guilt about an earlier abortion* explaining miscarriage to other children* the effect of miscarriage on a relationship* returning to work after miscarriage* coping with repeated miscarriages.The text also provides a set of guidelines to good practice for professionals, based on what women say they find helpful. Professionals who want to evaluate their own practice orTrade Review'I read it from cover to cover in a day and could not put it down' - Nursing Times'This book has a significant role to play for the Emergency nurse and doctor' - Accident and Emergency Nursing.'I read it from cover to cover in a day and could not put it down.'- Nursing Times'This book has a significant role to play for the Emergency nurse and doctor.' -Accident and Emergency Nursing.Table of ContentsIntroduction Section One: The Miscarriage, Jean's Story - Part One 1.
