My Review

Let’s start with the blurb of the book: “This book reflects the Editor’s realization of the extent to which women were involved in his five-year battle with the crawling crab and the consequent rapid recovery and rehabilitation after surgery for bladder cancer. It is an elucidation of women’s immeasurable contribution to curative care not only in the hospital as medical professionals but also at home as wife, daughter, sister and even the in-laws. The vital role that women play in caring for the indisposed at home after being discharged from hospital deserves recognition.” The ever-evolving human desire drives the development of men and women alike. Over the past 60 years, we have witnessed a conspicuous change in women’s desire. Women wish to be less and less involved in household management and child care, and are increasingly expanding their involvement in other areas of society.

At the same time, the world is pushing towards greater equality, and women assume roles and responsibilities previously only filled by men. A woman’s character is much more responsible, stable and consistent. She is capable of absorbing many changes and coping with long-term challenges - a quality that comes from her natural ability to carry an embryo and develop life within her. A man, on the other hand, is better at short-term moves. The female nature and drive to create a supportive and embracing environment will be expressed in society in creating healthy and proper conditions for bonding between people. Without such an environment that only women can design and manage, the men will continue to quarrel like children. Women play a vital role in the global healthcare workforce as nurses, midwives, community health workers and doctors. The book describes why women are best as caregiver whether it is at home or at hospital. Editor shares his experience of how women played a great role to help him battle with the crawling crab and during recovery after surgery for bladder cancer.

In this book an article discusses the stellar role of women under two broad categories:(Page 56) 1. As food-provider and 2. The Healer. Everyone knows women has magic in their hands, they have better knowledge of what food to add in one’s diet. Women prefer healthy eating habits rather than men who opt for spicy and hot food items. No matter if it’s our grandermothers, mothers, sisters or daughters they all will guide you to take healthy food. Women as healers, as described in the book women have always been the best healers. It is because of their enthusiasm to receive the knowledge and to pass it to next generation. Also in the book it is described why they are best healers; it is because their act of giving, they are born with qualities like compassion and care. Women in any form transmit unconditional love for the family members.

One thing I want to mention, who is a caregiver? – A caregiver is anyone who provides care for another person in need, such as a child, an aging parent, a husband or wife, a relative, friend, or neighbor. So while reading this book I felt Authors are trying to make a point that women in the current era are forgetting their role as a caregiver and food-provider, but it’s not their fault it’s us, we have underappreciated their work, also we have set bars too high for them to perform in every field. Women are the major providers of long-term care in our society, but they also have long-term care needs of their own. Women are selfless and will continue to be.

Overall, Role of Women in Curative Care is a book that should be read by all of us. Written in an easy to understand language. Many authors have shared their experiences and have written to show their appreciation to women. After you finish reading it you will see women in a whole different way that you used to se. We are surrounded by women in the form of mother, sister, daughter or friends and one thing we see common in all of them is how much selfless they are… but how often do we really appreciate them that’s the question.
