A note from Brandy…
As a stay at home mom of 4, I did well keeping up with the usual jargon when it came to minor ailments such as a cold, rash or fever. However, I was a fish out of water when my children who have rare autoimmune diseases started getting sick and we started going to the "ologist" specialists. I found it hard to ask questions or raise concerns when I didn't understand what they were saying or what it meant. When asked for the clarification, the explanation would be riddled off to me in medical terms that did not help me whatsoever. So I would go home and do the dreaded Google search trying to understand what they said and what it meant, which always led down a rabbit hole that ended in the fact, we were all dying. This book benefits not only the young mother but everyone that does not have a medical degree; bridge the gap between the medical world and the patient. We break down the medical terminology barrier and put it into simplier explanations. In doing so, it benefits the doctors and the patient by allowing them to both have understanding and allows for better communication.
