Doing FOR or Doing WITH

Being an EFFECTIVE HELPER

Set OBJECTIVEs

Work toward INDEPENDENCE of client

---Ideally work toward making client as independent as possible. Do for...with independence as the objective.

---Being a resident/patient as I am, the best situation for me is one where my caregiver is willing and able to work with my needs and preferences. The better that this situation is, the better I am, all the way around

Mission Statement of blog

To increase the savvy of ALL individuals in the healing field. To help make people realize that when one increases his own knowledge and wisdom he does a very good thing for his own health and wellbeing. An increase in his personhood automatically improves one's ability to recover and feel good...again. I firmly believe that when all is said and done we will find that one's attitude weighs heavily on how he does and the illnesses that he finds himself with.
Ones mind + outlook, I believe, has a greater role in ones physical wellbeing than is usually given credit. In short - if the attitude, savvy and outlook of the patient increases...than the patient improves accordingly.
