Brainstorms - Epilepsy in Our Experience: Accounts of Health Care Professionals

Epilepsy in Our Experience reveals, for the first time, the wide range of emotions, challenges and triumphs experienced by those who work with epilepsy patients and their families. In addition, other health care professionals who have epilepsy share their profound, uplifting and often heartbreaking experiences and how they have come to understand, first hand, the perspectives of patients and epilepsy.

It is the hope of the editor, and everyone who contributed, that by reading this book, patients and their families will better understand what their doctors, nurses, and other health care providers experience in their practices and feel in their hearts-their emotional highs and lows, their successes, and their failures. It is also hoped that these insights will strengthen communication and increase understanding between patients with epilepsy and the professionals who care for them.
