"Lean on Me" Cancer through a carer's eyes
Lorraine Kember (2003)
130pp.ISBN 0 646 49969 6 As Janet Craven, palliative care nurse, and Andrew Dean, palliative care physician note in their respective forwards to this book, Lean on Me is a unique and intensely personal description of a writer's responses to her husband Brian's diagnosis, treatments and final death from mesothelioma. The book also provides useful discription of the nature of pain, the usefulness of certain drugs, and the ways in which keeping a journal can assist the medical practitioner in assessing pain management. The overarching narrative, however, is the progression of Brian's cancer, and his erratic but inevitable deterioration. Interspersed with poems and excerpts from Lorraine's diary, this is perhaps the most confronting aspect of the book, simply because it is so personal. While Brian's death is factually noted, Lorraine's description of the moment is emotionally conveyed in a short poem and diary entry. The book concludes with reflections written days, weeks and a year later, on Brian's presence, and her search for meaning and love in her changed life trajectory. this is indeed a compelling read, and a useful resource for both carers and practitioners.

Get The Facts on
Personal Injury
Injuries to one's person can occur in numerous different ways. In addition to car & automobile accidents, there are many other examples of situations that would provide a legal basis for personal injury claims. These include negligence towards others, as in medical malpractice claims and patient neglect in nursing home and healthcare facilities. Additionally, any person or business can be negligent of adequatley maintaining their property which may result in slips and falls or other accidents; and criminal incidents that may occur because of negligent security. Also, people can be injured as the result of intentional attacks, such as in the cases of dog bites or assault and battery.
Injuries to property can happen due to theft/vandalism, embezzlement, and negligence, while injuries to one's reputation typically occurs as the result of libel or slander.
When a person suffers an injury to his person, rights, reputation, or property, they may be entitled to compensation and should consult a lawyer immediately. In addition to Personal Injury claims needing to be filed within specified time periods, over time, critical evidence can dissipate making claims harder to prove.
An injured party may be entitled to recover damages for loss of earnings capacity, pain and suffering, and reasonable medical expenses, including both current and projected future losses.
