“Nick Jacobs reminds me of my own life, whether reminiscing about my sisters, or now with my own daughters. It’s belly-laugh-out-loud humor with an all-too-honest look at life. Parenting is the most trying, most creative, and most hysterically funny job I’ve ever had, and Nick always paints life as a masterpiece. Well done!”

—Jacqueline Joseph, CMG, Inc.“From teacher, to nationally-known hospital president, to comedy writer… Nick has done it all! He’s a hospital executive a sense of humor… It’s a world gone mad!”

Why this book was written:
Mary was admitted to a tertiary hospital for open heart surgery. The surgery did not go well and had to be repeated the following day. Then, her physician placed her in a drug induced coma for 10 days, and transferred her to a specialty care hospital for a month, during which time she was placed on fifteen different medications that had her in a near vegetative state, and where she contracted what could have been a terminal infection.
These drugs had been prescribed by five different, independent physicians who had not checked the necessary drug interaction information.
All of this proved, once again, that the system is broken. We are treating organs instead of people.
As the patient’s advocate, we had Mary weaned from the majority of these dangerous and mostly unnecessary drugs, lobbied for her for physical therapy, and helped nurture her back to health.
Exactly one year later, she is at her daughter’s home and doing just fine.
“I hope I never have to use all the tremendously practical, caring information Nick Jacobs has put into this important book. But in case I do I kept reading, as page after page gave me new understanding on our health care system that had been mysterious or frightening. If you or anyone you care about is facing a hospital stay, read this book. It will give you education, security, and most importantly, hope.”
–Bruce Cryer

“Nick Jacobs provides a clear guidebook to those of us who find ourselves in a hospital.

I was never “on the job”. I was a Probation Officer in Kern County, CA long ago in a galaxy far away. However, I was blessed to have many associations with LEO’s and their families. I had a few friends who had similar problems, both husband cop and wife cop and sometimes both were cops. I have no idea how these people, who did their jobs honorably, handled the internal conflicts which arose from the job versus the home. It has to be a daunting task and I admire and did admire those who were willing to take it on and make it work. Sadly, some didn’t make it work. I still love em all.
