He came up with the idea of writing this book when he kept hearing from families over and over again that they didn't know what questions to ask their doctor when they were just told some unexpected news. On many occasions, he witnessed people struggling with choices because they didn't have the right information to guide them along.
Very little has been written from the perspective of a social worker, but it is from this perspective that many families need help so that they can make the right choices about medical decisions, hospital care, nursing homes, rehabilitation, advanced directives, and affording needed medications.
Mr. Cappleman remains both a health care activist and a community activist in his neighborhood of Uptown, located in Chicago, IL. His work at the University of Chicago Medical Center also includes the training of doctors and nurses in the role of family-centered care.ver menos
