This is an excellent resource for those working with Hospital Patients for any bodyworker. I return to it time and time again for clinical information and I read and re-read the stories and testimonies from other patients and practitioners as guidelines for many of the challenging circumstances that can come up when working with cancer patients.

If you are looking to take your practice to the medical field, this is the book for you. Clear, concise, not too heavy. A must if you are going to work in a hospital, or with oncology patients, or those in a hospice setting.
I'm so glad I didn't start working in the hospital setting without reading this text first. I would have looked quite the fool. Mrs. MacDonald thoroughly gives a nice, informative, and conversationally written guide to working with very ill patients. How to play nice with other members of the very busy medical staff was a lifesaver. Don't expect this to be a book on Hospital Patient massage techniques. This is a book for Massage Therapist professionals, not amateurs. The patient data form really helped me to get what I needed from the nurses without taking up too much of their time. It seemed like every time I had a question while reading this book, it was answered on the next page. Mrs. MacDonald is really in tune to the mind of an LMT. I would love to be a student in one of her seminars one day.
I had to purchase this book for a class I attended with the author. It is very informative and well writen for the massage therapist. Has a glossary and index, also study questions if you want to make sure you understood what you just read. If you have accepted a job as an MT in a hospital or need knowledge of the sort, this book is a huge help from someone speaking "our" language. Easy to read and understand.
