The Trunchbull let out a yell. . .The Trunchbull lifted the water-jug and poured some water into her glass. And suddenly, with the water, out came the long slimy newt straight into the glass, plop!The Trunchbull let out a yell and leapt off her chair as though a firecracker had gone off underneath her.She stared at the creature twisting and wriggling in the glass. The fires of fury and hatred were smouldering in the Trunchbull’s small black eyes.“Matilda!” she barked. “Stand up!”“Who, me?” Matilda said. “What have I done?”“Stand up, you disgusting little cockroach! You filthy little maggot! You are a vile, repellent, malicious little brute!” The Trunchbull was shouting. “You are not fit to be in this school! You ought to be behind bars, that’s where you ought to be! I shall have the prefects chase you down the corridor and out of the front-door with hockey-sticks!”The Trunchbull was in such a rage that her face had taken on a boiled colour and little flecks of froth were gathering at the corners of her mouth. But Matilda was also beginning to see red. She had had absolutely nothing to do with the beastly creature in the glass. By golly, she thought, that rotten Trunchbull isn’t going to pin this one on me!Puffin Books by Roald DahlThe BFGBoy: Tales of ChildhoodCharlie and the Chocolate FactoryCharlie and the Great Glass ElevatorDanny the Champion of the WorldDirty BeastsThe Enormous CrocodileEsio TrotFantastic Mr. FoxGeorge’s Marvelous MedicineThe Giraffe and the Pelly and MeGoing SoloJames and the Giant PeachThe Magic FingerMatildaThe MinpinsRoald Dahl’s Revolting RhymesThe TwitsThe Vicar of NibbleswickeThe WitchesThe Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six MoreRoald  DahlMatildaillustrated by Quentin BlakePUFFIN BOOKSFor Michael and LucyThe Reader of BooksMr Wormwood, the Great Car DealerThe Hat and the SuperglueThe GhostArithmeticThe Platinum-Blond ManMiss HoneyThe TrunchbullThe ParentsThrowing the HammerBruce Bogtrotter and the CakeLavenderThe Weekly TestThe First MiracleThe Second MiracleMiss Honey’s CottageMiss Honey’s StoryThe NamesThe PracticeThe Third MiracleA New HomeThe Reader of BooksIt’s a funny thing about mothers and fathers. Even when their own child is the most disgusting little blister you could ever imagine, they still think that he or she is wonderful.Some parents go further. They become so blinded by adoration they manage to convince themselves their child has qualities of genius.Well, there is nothing very wrong with all this. It’s the way of the world. It is only when the parents begin telling us about the brilliance of their own revolting offspring, that we start shouting, “Bring us a basin! We’re going to be sick!”School teachers suffer a good deal from having to listen to this sort of twaddle from proud parents, but they usually get their own back when the time comes to write the end-of-term reports. If I were a teacher I would cook up some real scorchers for the children of doting parents. “Your son Maximilian”, I would write, “is a total wash-out. I hope you have a family business you can push him into when he leaves school because he sure as heck won’t get a job anywhere else.” Or if I were feeling lyrical that day, I might write, “It is a curious truth that grasshoppers have their hearing-organs in the sides of the abdomen. Your daughter Vanessa, judging by what she’s learnt this term, has no hearing-organs at all.”I might even delve deeper into natural history and say, “The periodical cicada spends six years as a grub underground, and no more than six days as a free creature of sunlight and air. Your son Wilfred has spent six years as a grub in this school and we are still waiting for him to emerge from the chrysalis.” A particularly poisonous little girl might sting me into saying, “Fiona has the same glacial beauty as an iceberg, but unlike the iceberg she has absolutely nothing below the surface.” I think I might enjoy writing end-of-term reports for the stinkers in my class. But enough of that. We have to get on.Occasionally one comes across parents who take the opposite line, who show no interest at all in their children, and these of course are far worse than the doting ones. Mr and Mrs Wormwood were two such parents. They had a son called Michael and a daughter called Matilda, and the parents looked upon Matilda in particular as nothing more than a scab. A scab is something you have to put up with until the time comes when you can pick it off and flick it away. Mr and Mrs Wormwood looked forward enormously to the time when they could pick their little daughter off and flick her away, preferably into the next county or even further than that.It is bad enough when parents treat ordinary children as though they were scabs and bunions, but it becomes somehow a lot worse when the child in question is extraordinary, and by that I mean sensitive and brilliant. Matilda was both of these things, but above all she was brilliant. Her mind was so nimble and she was so quick to learn that her ability should have been obvious even to the most half-witted of parents. But Mr and Mrs Wormwood were both so gormless and so wrapped up in their own silly little lives that they failed to notice anything unusual about their daughter. To tell the truth, I doubt they would have noticed had she crawled into the house with a broken leg.Matilda’s brother Michael was a perfectly normal boy, but the sister, as I said, was something to make your eyes pop. By the age of one and a half her speech was perfect and she knew as many words as most grown-ups. The parents, instead of applauding her, called her a noisy chatterbox and told her sharply that small girls should be seen and not heard.By the time she was three, Matilda had taught herself to read by studying newspapers and magazines that lay around the house. At the age of four, she could read fast and well and she naturally began hankering after books. The only book in the whole of this enlightened household was something called Easy Cooking belonging to her mother, and when she had read this from cover to cover and had learnt all the recipes by heart, she decided she wanted something more interesting.“Daddy,” she said, “do you think you could buy me a book?”“A book?” he said. “What d’you want a flaming book for?”“To read, Daddy.”“What’s wrong with the telly, for heaven’s sake? We’ve got a lovely telly with a twelve-inch screen and now you come asking for a book! You’re getting spoiled, my girl!”Nearly every weekday afternoon Matilda was left alone in the house. Her brother (five years older than her) went to school. Her father went to work and her mother went out playing bingo in a town eight miles away. Mrs Wormwood was hooked on bingo and played it five afternoons a week. On the afternoon of the day when her father had refused to buy her a book, Matilda set out all by herself to walk to the public library in the village. When she arrived, she introduced herself to the librarian, Mrs Phelps. She asked if she might sit awhile and read a book. Mrs Phelps, slightly taken aback at the arrival of such a tiny girl unaccompanied by a parent, nevertheless told her she was very welcome.“Where are the children’s books please?” Matilda asked.“They’re over there on those lower shelves,” Mrs Phelps told her. “Would you like me to help you find a nice one with lots of pictures in it?”“No, thank you,” Matilda said. “I’m sure I can manage.”From then on, every afternoon, as soon as her mother had left for bingo, Matilda would toddle down to the library. The walk took only ten minutes and this allowed her two glorious hours sitting quietly by herself in a cosy corner devouring one book after another. When she had read every single children’s book in the place, she started wandering round in search of something else.Mrs Phelps, who had been watching her with fascination for the past few weeks, now got up from her desk and went over to her. “Can I help you, Matilda?” she asked.“I’m wondering what to read next,” Matilda said. “I’ve finished all the children’s books.”“You mean you’ve looked at the pictures?”“Yes, but I’ve read the books as well.”Mrs Phelps looked down at Matilda from her great height and Matilda looked right back up at her.“I thought some were very poor,” Matilda said, “but others were lovely. I liked The Secret Garden best of all. It was full of mystery. The mystery of the room behind the closed door and the mystery of the garden behind the big wall.”Mrs Phelps was stunned. “Exactly how old are you, Matilda?” she asked.“Four years and three months,” Matilda said.Mrs Phelps was more stunned than ever, but she had the sense not to show it. “What sort of a book would you like to read next?” she asked.Matilda said, “I would like a really good one that grown-ups read. A famous one. I don’t know any names.”Mrs Phelps looked along the shelves, taking her time. She didn’t quite know what to bring out. How, she asked herself, does one choose a famous grown-up book for a four-year-old girl? Her first thought was to pick a young teenager’s romance of the kind that is written for fifteen-year-old schoolgirls, but for some reason she found herself instinctively walking past that particular shelf.“Try this,” she said at last. “It’s very famous and very good. If it’s too long for you, just let me know and I’ll find something shorter and a bit easier.”“Great Expectations,” Matilda read, “by Charles Dickens. I’d love to try it.”I must be mad, Mrs Phelps told herself, but to Matilda she said, “Of course you may try it.”Over the next few afternoons Mrs Phelps could hardly take her eyes from the small girl sitting for hour after hour in the big armchair at the far end of the room with the book on her lap. It was necessary to rest it on the lap because it was too heavy for her to hold up, which meant she had to sit leaning forward in order to read. And a strange sight it was, this tiny dark-haired person sitting there with her feet nowhere near touching the floor, totally absorbed in the wonderful adventures of Pip and old Miss Havisham and her cobwebbed house and by the spell of magic that Dickens the great story-teller had woven with his words. The only movement from the reader was the lifting of the hand every now and then to turn over a page, and Mrs Phelps always felt sad when the time came for her to cross the floor and say, “It’s ten to five, Matilda.”During the first week of Matilda’s visits Mrs Phelps had said to her, “Does your mother walk you down here every day and then take you home?”“My mother goes to Aylesbury every afternoon to play bingo,” Matilda had said. “She doesn’t know I come here.”“But that’s surely not right,” Mrs Phelps said. “I think you’d better ask her.”“I’d rather not,” Matilda said. “She doesn’t encourage reading books. Nor does my father.”“But what do they expect you to do every afternoon in an empty house?”“Just mooch around and watch the telly.”“I see.”“She doesn’t really care what I do,” Matilda said a little sadly.Mrs Phelps was concerned about the child’s safety on the walk through the fairly busy village High Street and the crossing of the road, but she decided not to interfere.Within a week, Matilda had finished Great Expectations which in that edition contained four hundred and eleven pages. “I loved it,” she said to Mrs Phelps. “Has Mr Dickens written any others?”“A great number,” said the astounded Mrs Phelps. “Shall I choose you another?”Over the next six months, under Mrs Phelps’s watchful and compassionate eye, Matilda read the following books:Nicholas Nickleby by Charles DickensOliver Twist by Charles DickensJane Eyre by Charlotte BrontëPride and Prejudice by Jane AustenTess of the D’Urbervilles by Thomas HardyGone to Earth by Mary WebbKim by Rudyard KiplingThe Invisible Man by H. G. WellsThe Old Man and the Sea by Ernest HemingwayThe Sound and the Fury by William FaulknerThe Grapes of Wrath by John SteinbeckThe Good Companions by J. B. PriestleyBrighton Rock by Graham GreeneAnimal Farm by George OrwellIt was a formidable list and by now Mrs Phelps was filled with wonder and excitement, but it was probably a good thing that she did not allow herself to be completely carried away by it all. Almost anyone else witnessing the achievements of this small child would have been tempted to make a great fuss and shout the news all over the village and beyond, but not so Mrs Phelps. She was someone who minded her own business and had long since discovered it was seldom worth while to interfere with other people’s children.“Mr Hemingway says a lot of things I don’t understand,” Matilda said to her. “Especially about men and women. But I loved it all the same. The way he tells it I feel I am right there on the spot watching it all happen.”“A fine writer will always make you feel that,” Mrs Phelps said. “And don’t worry about the bits you can’t understand. Sit back and allow the words to wash around you, like music.”“I will, I will.”“Did you know”, Mrs Phelps said, “that public libraries like this allow you to borrow books and take them home?”“I didn’t know that,” Matilda said. “Could I do it?”“Of course,” Mrs Phelps said. “When you have chosen the book you want, bring it to me so I can make a note of it and it’s yours for two weeks. You can take more than one if you wish.”From then on, Matilda would visit the library only once a week in order to take out new books and return the old ones. Her own small bedroom now became her reading-room and there she would sit and read most afternoons, often with a mug of hot chocolate beside her. She was not quite tall enough to reach things around the kitchen, but she kept a small box in the outhouse which she brought in and stood on in order to get whatever she wanted. Mostly it was hot chocolate she made, warming the milk in a saucepan on the stove before mixing it. Occasionally she made Bovril or Ovaltine. It was pleasant to take a hot drink up to her room and have it beside her as she sat in her silent room reading in the empty house in the afternoons. The books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives. She went on olden-day sailing ships with Joseph Conrad. She went to Africa with Ernest Hemingway and to India with Rudyard Kipling. She travelled all over the world while sitting in her little room in an English village.Mr Wormwood, the Great Car DealerMatilda’s parents owned quite a nice house with three bedrooms upstairs, while on the ground floor there was a dining-room and a living-room and a kitchen. Her father was a dealer in second-hand cars and it seemed he did pretty well at it.“Sawdust”, he would say proudly, “is one of the great secrets of my success. And it costs me nothing. I get it free from the sawmill.”“What do you use it for?” Matilda asked him.“Ha!” the father said. “Wouldn’t you like to know.”“I don’t see how sawdust can help you to sell second-hand cars, daddy.”“That’s because you’re an ignorant little twit,” the father said. His speech was never very delicate but Matilda was used to it. She also knew that he liked to boast and she would egg him on shamelessly.“You must be very clever to find a use for something that costs nothing,” she said. “I wish I could do it.”“You couldn’t,” the father said. “You’re too stupid. But I don’t mind telling young Mike here about it seeing he’ll be joining me in the business one day.” Ignoring Matilda, he turned to his son and said, “I’m always glad to buy a car when some fool has been crashing the gears so badly they’re all worn out and rattle like mad. I get it cheap. Then all I do is mix a lot of sawdust with the oil in the gear-box and it runs as sweet as a nut.”“How long will it run like that before it starts rattling again?” Matilda asked him.“Long enough for the buyer to get a good distance away,” the father said, grinning. “About a hundred miles.”“But that’s dishonest, daddy,” Matilda said. “It’s cheating.”“No one ever got rich being honest,” the father said. “Customers are there to be diddled.”Mr Wormwood was a small ratty-looking man whose front teeth stuck out underneath a thin ratty moustache. He liked to wear jackets with large brightly-coloured checks and he sported ties that were usually yellow or pale green. “Now take mileage for instance,” he went on. “Anyone who’s buying a second-hand car, the first thing he wants to know is how many miles it’s done. Right?”“Right,” the son said.“So I buy an old dump that’s got about a hundred and fifty thousand miles on the clock. I get it cheap. But no one’s going to buy it with a mileage like that, are they? And these days you can’t just take the speedometer out and fiddle the numbers back like you used to ten years ago. They’ve fixed it so it’s impossible to tamper with it unless you’re a ruddy watchmaker or something. So what do I do? I use my brains, laddie, that’s what I do.”“How?” young Michael asked, fascinated. He seemed to have inherited his father’s love of crookery.“I sit down and say to myself, how can I convert a mileage reading of one hundred and fifty thousand into only ten thousand without taking the speedometer to pieces? Well, if I were to run the car backwards for long enough then obviously that would do it. The numbers would click backwards, wouldn’t they? But who’s going to drive a flaming car in reverse for thousands and thousands of miles? You couldn’t do it!”“Of course you couldn’t,” young Michael said.“So I scratch my head,” the father said. “I use my brains. When you’ve been given a fine brain like I have, you’ve got to use it. And all of a sudden, the answer hits me. I tell you, I felt exactly like that other brilliant fellow must have felt when he discovered penicillin. ‘Eureka!’ I cried. ‘I’ve got it!’”“What did you do, dad?” the son asked him.“The speedometer”, Mr Wormwood said, “is run off a cable that is coupled up to one of the front wheels. So first I disconnect the cable where it joins the front wheel. Next, I get one of those high-speed electric drills and I couple that up to the end of the cable in such a way that when the drill turns, it turns the cable backwards. You got me so far? You following me?”“Yes, daddy,” young Michael said.

Okay, first off I don't know why it's taken me so long to read MATILDA. My only excuse? There are a lot of great middle grade books out there. However, every time I watch the Danny DeVito film version I promise myself I will read the book. So now I have. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. I love Roald Dahl's whimsically fun voice. Is MATILDA perfect? Absolutely not. I know I am treading on hallowed ground with some people, and to those people I extend my heartfelt apologies, but for me MATILDA does have a few issues. The dialog is often stilted and unrealistic. Yes, I know it's a fantasy, but the characters should still speak like real human beings. The writing style is overly simplistic for today's middle grade reader, although I am certain it was appropriate for its time. It seems to have multiple antagonists. You think it's her father at first, then later on its the Trunchbull. Matilda's goal early on is ill-defined, and there is no central goal throughout the book. And finally, the ending is too abrupt for my taste. I would have loved for there to be a "...and they lived happily ever after...", or some such thing. As for the Matilda herself, I loved her character, but do we really want to teach kids that it is all right to take revenge on their parents if their parents do something they don't like? Yes, she had terrible parents, but that's poor justification. For all of these reasons I gave it four stars and not five, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. It is fun and funny, heartwarming and touching. Is it perfect? No. But I'll take a billion imperfectly perfect books just like it.

I used some of the "best books" lists to find a good "chaptered" book for my seven year old granddaughter. When Matilda by Roald Dahl arrived, I read about 1/4 of it. I was disappointed to find the portrayal of Matilda's parents grossly negative and much of the language used in the book is degrading of central characters. The first few pages derides parents who speak positively about their children who are really "disgusting little blisters," and the author says that such positive statements about offspring cause him to exclaim “bring us a basin”. It gets worse. The father of Matilda calls her an "ignorant little twit" and he tears pages out of library books. Even Matilda who is suppose to be admirably smart and a "miracle" worker, says, “Shut up you nut” to a noisy bird saying. "Hello" over and over again.I am hopeful that reading is a positive growth-enhancing learning experience for my granddaughter; reading Matilda would expose her to language her parents and I do not want her using and to attitudes of disrespect and cynicism.

My daughter and I read this book together as part of her homeschool curriculum. It was interested because she noted what she thought were several spelling errors. I had to tell her that there are two forms of English. Anyway, the storyline was quite amusing. The book made me chuckle from beginning to end.I think I really loved how the main character's happy ending didn't come in the predictable form of her parents learning their lesson. I find myself using Matilda as a way to encourage my own daughter to read by pointing out to her how Matilda became extremely super intelligent by reading tons of books. This is definitely a book that the whole family can enjoy. After reading the book we watched the movie and did a comparison analysis as well.

My ten-year-old daughter reads very well, just not very much. The struggle is mostly in finding material and/or subject matter to engage her. She recently discovered Roald Dahl through her school librarian, and subsequently, she enthusiastically enjoyed James and the Giant Peach. When she asked for more by the same writer, Matilda became her first chapter-book download to her Kindle. She is loving it just as much and is in the e-book every night. She noses into it, asks me a million questions, and I can hear her laughing and/or gasping as the action unfolds. While I have not read Matilda myself, I am giving it five stars for thoroughly captivating my daughter.

The book was good, but Roald Dahl has a certain nastiness that I would have appreciated as a young child who felt abused by the world but that I can't appreciate as an adult who has gotten over those issues.I read this for myself because sometimes I get tired of the depressing genre in adult books. However, if I had a child, while I would allow them to read this book--I would probably discuss some things with them to make sure they understand that some of the things in the book are inappropriate. For instance, in the book, Matilda shoves a parrot up a chimney to play a prank on her parents. Aside from her being disrespectful of her friend's property (the bird belonged to her friend), this would be out right animal cruelty that could result in an animal being harmed, or at the very least distressed.

Great story and so fun to read aloud. It is told with a sense of humor, wit, and mischief that any kid will love. I grew up loving this story so much that I have a daughter named Matilda now.

Absolutely LOVED it!Best $7.99 I spent on a book experience to share with my son.At 8 years old, my son doesn't always love the books I choose for him, but having grown up reading Roald Dahl classics, I figured he HAS to like it, even just a little bit.I read the whole book out loud to him, and he kept begging for more. It reignited his passion for reading, and stories... and now I want to get another Roald Dahl classic!!

'The Good Nurse' describes the horrific acts of Charles Cullen, who killed hundreds of people in New Jersey and Pennsylvania Hospitals, by injecting them with a variety of drugs. The story is well known through the news media, and this book was supposed to tell the inside story of Cullen's acts. The problem is that is really doesn't do this.The book is written as a series of relatively short chapters with numerous footnotes, which are incredibly distracting and force you to leaf to the back of the book and stop reading. I am not sure why the author chose to use this method, but, given the numbers of footnotes, it seems like he could have incorporated these into the story to make it more interesting. Ultimately, I just stopped reading the footnotes because I couldn't stand to continue flipping to the back of the book.The other main problem with the book - and this may not be the fault of the author but instead the unwillingness of the murderer to cooperate - is that we really never understand why Cullen did what he did. Was it his childhood? Did he fell like he was saving those he murdered? Or was he simply a mentally ill person carrying out some internal need for satisfaction? The truth is that Charles Cullen must have had some sort of serious mental illness or personality disorder, but this is not explored. Even more frustrating is that when he finally confesses, the author just summarizes the confession in one or two paragraphs and doesn't give the details that you want at the point in the book that it happens.The book's not all that bad and it does tell the story in superficial detail enough to make you read it to the end. But the lack of depth, as well as the style of writing make this book unsatisfying to say the least.

When I first heard about this book on NPR, and heard the author interviewed, I was angry. I am a nurse myself, one who works toward empowering others and advocating for the empowerment of nurses. What made me most angry was the title of the book, "The Good Nurse...", when clearly the book's topic is far from describing a good, competent, caring, ethical nurse. So I opted not to read the book, and then somehow stumbled across the book again, a year after the big publicity push for the release of the book, and decided to give it a read. After all, in order to move beyond and heal from events such as described in the book, the profession needs to acknowledge and shine a light on our dark side. And this book does illuminate not just an aspect of the dark side of nursing, but more importantly the healthcare systems that allowed for this type of behavior to continue on unchecked for years.Cullen is clearly a damaged personality and it is interesting to me that some of his co-workers perceived him as a "good nurse"... was it because he kept to himself, made the coffee, and was always working overtime? It certainly does need seem to be because of compassion, caring, safety, ethical practice, and leadership skills; the things I believe make a good or excellent nurse. Are nurses so overworked and stressed that simply having a seemingly competent nurse in place to lower our nurse-patient ratios deems them a good nurse?The book clearly details how the system from beginning to end failed to address this man's murderous acts. As a nursing faculty member myself, I had the concerns whether signs of Charles Cullen's issues likely started to emerge in nursing school and went undetected as for 16 years he moved out into the professional world.While the author provides some detail around Cullen's background, I did feel I wanted to know more about him. I also was still very much bothered by the title as I was reading the book. This lead me to emailing the author and having an ongoing verbose email exchange over several days. Mr. Graeber was prompt with his in-depth replies and both generous and gracious with his thoughts. He mentioned that he did not go into more detail about Cullen himself, because the man was fairly uninteresting as a personality, and that the true horror of this story revolves around how the system failed to protect the victims and the victims' families, as the facilities and the administrators seem to have avoided persecution. He explained to me how the title emerged for him and he told me of his own ideas around "doing good" vs. being a good moral agent. I have to agree with the author here, and it seems justice has not been served, and the systems and administrators themselves should be held liable and accountable for many of Cullen's murderous acts. If you thought you could trust your local hospital to provide you with caring, safe, professionals, this read might change your mind. As a concerned public we need to let our outrage around the actions of these institutions be known and continue to call for justice to be served: there is no statue of limitations around murder charges and I would deem a number of these institutions to be key players in the ongoing murders. Civil action should be the least of these facilities and administrators' worries.Some of the best parts of the book detail the heroes who emerge as the drama around Cullen's eventual "capture" unfolds. The investigating team and the truly good nurse emerge in ways that are memorable and call upon us all to live up to our highest ethical standards when it comes to protecting patients.I do think that nurses, patients, and administrators should be reading this book, bringing light to the darkness of the situation, and that agendas should be developed for better protecting the public.

As a nurse starting after this case was concluded, I started reading it with the knowledge of current (2016) standards of patient privacy, medicine access, and Texas nursing peer review law. Looking at it from that standpoint, the hospitals seem malicious in their negligence and was horrified at the sequence of events. Then, I remembered that nursing practice law is dictated by each state, and even if the Texas reporting structure was in place at the time, it wouldn't necessarily apply to Pennsylvania and New Jersey.For those completely horrified of hospitals, several changes were made based on this case. A few patient safety laws were passed after the arrest, state nursing boards revised their processes, and internal process changes were made. Hospitals with electronic records will audit who is accessing patient charts, with consequences up to termination from the organization for accessing a chart of patients with no established working relationship. Pyxis stations do not currently behave in the way that Cullen manipulated them; individual compartments within each drawer are now electronically locked and only the compartment for the medication being accessed will pop open. Pharmacies and nursing units also audit medication access, administration, documentation, waste, and return, but this usually focuses on narcotic administration.Unfortunately, hospitals still do not give out negative referrals and it is common practice not even to disclose whether an RN is eligible for rehire, unless it is an off-the-record conversation between colleagues at different hospitals. Will make me think more than twice before hiring someone I cannot get a positive referral for and think a bit before hiring someone with a positive report!Reinforced the importance of reporting nurses when terminating them for nursing practice (currently in Texas, the BON requires an automatic report when a nurse is terminated for practice issues). Reinforced for me as a nurse the importance of explicit verification and witness of what I am cosigning for. Will pass along this story to my coworkers!This case was meticulously researched (I was reading so fast, I didn't notice the footnotes until chapter 5 - rich store of information in the back of the book!) and extremely well written. I finished in 6-7 hours with quick breaks. Comparable to Erik Larson's writing and research. Will definitely be reading Charles Graeber's work from now on.This book is an excellent "lessons learned" resource. Of course, in hindsight, the choices to make are obvious, but cases never play out this way. Even trying to prove who was committing the crimes (and even figure out if it was accidental or intentional) is never as easy as it looks retrospectively, with all of the details available. From the hospitals that reported to the police and were told they did not have enough to go on, to the police force that wanted to involve the FBI earlier, but was told not to, to the RNs that report suspicions and are told not to worry about it. With the amount of malicious and bad-faith reporting that occurs, it's never easy to tell the truth from the fiction.

I have been living with my own chronic pain for over three decades and in recovery from pain pills and alcohol for 36 years. I’m also a health care provider working with people suffering with chronic pain and coexisting disorders including addiction since 1984.I have read many books on pain management over the past three decades and I found "The Truth About Chronic Pain Treatments" to be one of the best I’ve seen in many years effectively covering an extremely challenging topic. It was a great read and I’ve shared it with both patients and colleagues. Overall, I found The Truth About Chronic Pain Treatments to be highly readable and informative. – Dr. Stephen Grinstead, LMFT, ACRPS, founder and Chief Clinical Officer of A Healing Place – The Estates, author of "Managing Pain and Co-Existing Disorders" and "Freedom From Suffering: A Journey of Hope."

“Treatments focusing on the mind-body connection are gaining more acceptance in mainstream medicine”, the author states. As a psychiatrist who tries to blend the best of both holistic and conventional care, I can totally agree.The Truth about Chronic Pain Treatments will take you, chapter-by-chapter, each well-annotated, through holistic and alternative options for pain treatment. On your journey through the book you will pass through - among other modalities - nutritional interventions, herbal treatment, energy healing, Low Level Laser Therapy to multidisciplinary programs for pain management.The author then states that, “Given the lack of integrated pain management programs, pain patients must find their own way through a complicated maze of treatment options to cobble together a program that might work for them.” This book, in my opinion, helps you navigate your way through the maze to the other side where a life filled with more optimal health and wellbeing awaits you.

I was very pleased with the information offered in this book. The chapter on Pharmaceutical Treatments clarified everything I went through while being doped up on 11 prescription medications for chronic Fibromyalgia pain. First I eroded my esophagus by taking too much Ibuprofen. I finally had to go to a Pain Specialist. In addition to Trigger Point Injections, he began prescribing meds. Four were for chronic pain and most of the rest were for the side effects of these first four (metabolic conditions). There's way more to my story so if you want to read it, and if Amazon lets it be posted here, it's reneealtersatmosphere dot com on the About page. I am now seeing an Acupuncturist - Chinese Medicine lady for 'Tea' and a Functional Medicine - Nutritionist. Still have to see the Primary Physician, but she is open minded about the alternatives I am seeking. Thank you, Cindy, for all the extensive time and research you put into this book! It's a keeper!

Not much information provided.

Well there seem to be some great suggestions, this book should not be available for Kindle yet. The digital does not read out as well as reading a regular book. It all seemed like a list of a bunch of facts. I listen to over a quarter of the book before I finally turned it off and removed it from my homepage. It just seemed like it wasn't Going anywhere. I hope everyone who is able to read a hard copy of the book is enjoying it because I did not.

I found this book very helpful and informative. I have dealt with chronic pain all my life and it was refreshing to find there were alternatives out there. I've had no luck with medications. A must read for people who need alternatives.

I have chronic pain and I wanted to know my choices. Some I have tried but there are a lot I have not tried yet!

Illuminating book.
