Reviews
This book is an excellent basic overview of HHT. It describes the condition, the difficulties often found in diagnosis, current and potential future treatments, as well as emotional and social effects for both patients and their families along with coping strategies. Throughout, the ability to live well with knowledge and appropriate care is emphasized.
A must-read for patients and health care professionals seeking information about HHT, an uncommon disease diagnosis. Families will find answers in this thoroughly researched resource, learn about HHT’s psychological impact, and discover coping strategies for living a long and happy life as they navigate their medical journey.
I strongly recommend this HHT guide to patients, families, and doctors. It provides a wide range of useful information for both the newly diagnosed and veterans. Patient stories give it a refreshing human touch, and the author’s profession combined with her personal experience make it a uniquely informative book.
This is an outstanding, informative book. Covering medical, social, and emotional aspects of HHT, this work tackles everything a patient may encounter when living with HHT. In addition to being a valuable resource for patients, all physicians could benefit from research and understanding of this disease. I highly recommend it.
This book is packed with tons of useful information such as the most effective treatments for nosebleeds and how to deal with insurance companies. Dr. Palmer cuts through the jargon of HHT to share strategies for the diagnosis and management of HHT—helping to convert disability and fear into physical treatment, emotional well-being, and hope.
