When "Laugh, Sing, & Eat Like a Pig" was published in summer 2010, Dave deBronkart was hoping for a quick review. But, in fact I had to wait to find my voice and be able to express all that I had felt in that first amazing read.
1) This is a love story. Dave loves Ginny. Ginny loves Dave and that is fundamental to the story. 2) This from the title on...as Dave tells us that "two legs are better than one" or that needs a banana cream Blizzard from Dairy Queen. 3) This is a DIY on how to face Death...with the presentation of "radical acceptance" such that Death seems manageable. 4) This is a reverse whodunit where the potential victim does away with the alleged killer. 5) This is a medical casebook with lots of details about what happens to the body 6) This is an essay about accepting a measure of responsibility in order to get better 7) This is un '"teaching through example" the art of communicating with a healthcare team 8) This is the autobiography of a man, an individual in 360° and not just a patient. And finally it's a guide to some of the issues of our health systems.
Dave & Ginny will be with us via Twitter October 4th 11 AM EST on hashtag #health20fr.
