Weekly Round-Up
Time for this week’s round-up of the best blog posts I’ve read over the past week. These posts touched me, taught me something, and inspired me, so I wanted to share them with you. Remember, if you’ve written a post you’d like readers to see, just leave a comment.
For the patient advocates among us, by which I mean all of us, Sue‘s latest post, Who Cares For the Patient Advocates, will resonate. “We are advocating when we are sick or our loved ones are unwell.” she writes, “And we often don’t get compensated for this work. This makes us especially vulnerable.”
Megsie’s latest post also concerns burnout.
Barbara suggests a “buddy system” for breast cancer caregivers and families.
In her latest blog, Abigail is reflecting on the domino effect, those “unintended consequences of various happenings and decisions.”
Carolyn reviews, The Exquisite Machine: The New Science of the Heart, by Dr. Sian Harding.
Finally this week, for our American readers and friends it’s still a holiday weekend, so feast yourselves on these Thanksgiving-themed posts from Yvonne, Elizabeth, and Connie.
Until next week,
Yours with much love and gratitude always

Thank you for including my post about researcher Dr. Sian Harding’s remarkable “love affair” with the tiny heart muscle cell that she first met through the lens of her laboratory microscope. (I wrote more about her and her wonderful book “The Exquisite Machine” today, too).
And thank you especially for including such a wide range of wonderful Round-up reading suggestions as always – including Abigail’s shocking story of being made to wait helplessly for her clinical trial staff to bother showing up. I’m fuming on her behalf!!
Big appreciation to you for all that you do. . . ♥
hugs,
C.
