Growing up in a stereotypical suburban home, young Joe Galati always saw a doctor looking back from his mirror. With a combination of curiosity and work ethic, he constantly scrutinized the skills, traits, and unique attributes that form a doctor. He studied medical journals, family physicians, and personal interactions through a sickly childhood, the health challenges of people he loved, and an eclectic series of public-facing jobs.
Academic challenges and an intractable system forced him to attend medical school in a war zone, where he emerged to become a renowned expert in transplant hepatology affiliated with several of the nation’s most prestigious medical institutions.
In this book, Dr. Galati examines modern healthcare through the eyes of a doctor and his severely ill patients. In addition to his own story of persistence, he introduces twelve ordinary people facing remarkable health challenges. These deeply personal case studies – each viewed through the perspective of the doctor, the patient, and loved ones – use real people and real illness to illustrate the critical importance of collaboration among healthcare professionals and their patients.
Through triumph over incalculable odds and courageous tragedy, each story also reminds the reader of the exhilarating power of hope in the face of desperation and a system that sometimes seems designed to work against them.
In the end, HOPE IN THE HARSHEST MOMENTS exposes the humanity of doctors and their patients while using a lifetime of stories to empower the reader to obtain the most from our modern healthcare system.
