Helpful resource on cystic fibrosis
Firefly Books has a "Your Personal Health Series" with titles on epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease and hepatitis C. Recently, a new book in the series, this one on cystic fibrosis, appeared in my mailbox. A colleague whose daughter has cystic fibrosis borrowed it and found the book helpful.
"I wish something like this had been available when my daughter was diagnosed eight years ago," she wrote me in an e-mail. "All her pediatrician had on hand when he gave us the news was a really outdated pamphlet, which made the whole thing much worse because it contained old information about life expectancy and general prognosis. I think it's a great resource for anyone who's interested in the disease."
