NEW BOOK FROM AUTHOR JOHN LARISH

It’s Hell Getting Old! The Road to Wellness—Almost
A
Year in the Medical System with 14 Different Doctors – A Unique Story of
Hope
Rochester,
NY, November 8, 2010 -- A new book focusing on a personal view of the
health-care system, It’s Hell Getting Old! The Road to
Wellness—Almost, is written by author John Larish, a well-known
writer, broadcaster, speaker, and inventor. In 2009, Larish spent a
hellish year going through treatments for spinal pain with 14
different doctors. Larish was not walking well, and x-rays
indicated spinal stenosis, with the potential of his not being
able to walk at all. Doctors first tried spinal injections, and
then turned to spinal surgery to try to give him a chance for a normal
life. There were many limitations after surgery, but things were moving
along well, until what appeared to be a disconnection of nerves in his
right leg.
“The
whole process was like climbing a high mountain and then falling to the
bottom of the valley below the mountain. There were lessons learned, not
just for the stenosis problem, but for other medical challenges that
occurred, including the potential of multiple myeloma being the major
cause of my problems, which fortunately was not,” said author John
Larish.
Surgery, rehabilitation, along with the peaks and valleys of health and
life,
create a story of unique hope. Woven into the story is comments from Dr.
Bradford Berk, M.D., Ph.D., CEO of the University of Rochester Medical
Center (URMC), who went through a challenging spinal injury experience
in an accident and came back from it with a greater understanding of the
needs of his patients.
