TY - JOUR T1 - After the diagnosis: Transcending chronic illness AU - Malani PN Y1 - 2011/04/06 N1 - 10.1001/jama.2011.392 JO - JAMA SP - 1356 EP - 1359 VL - 305 IS - 13 N2 - As 1 of an estimated 90 million Americans living with chronic illness, Julian Seifter brings uncommon wisdom to the patient-physician relationship. This insight comes well packaged in After the Diagnosis: Transcending Chronic Illness, a book Seifter cowrote with his wife, Betsy. Seifter shares understanding and awareness gleaned from his years of clinical care as well as his own health issues. By selecting poignant patient narratives paired with his own personal experience of diabetes, Seifter creates a practical road map for patients, families, and physicians caring for individuals with chronic illness. Throughout, Seifter carefully examines the myriad ways individuals adapt to illness, while simultaneously celebrating the resilience of the human spirit.
