Taking Control Compassionately reveals the ardent path of Specialist MS Nurses from around the world. What leads someone to choose a career as a specialist nurse? What impact do these selfless and truly remarkable people have on the life of those they care for? How has their passion and expertise shaped the field of nursing and chronic disease across the globe? Peek behind the curtain to see how specialist multiple sclerosis nurses help their patients piece together the puzzle of chronic illness. Conversations traverse across the philosophies that shaped their practice - such as the ritual of medicine, story theory in patient consultations, symptom management and treatment development through to the many and varied challenges distinct to the nurse’s own environment, including nursing in a rural and remote location, treating refugee and homeless patients & the unique challenges of pediatric MS. Personal accounts and patient anecdotes illustrate the hidden and often enormous lengths MS nurses go to in providing care - and indeed better lives - for those they treat. Taking Control Compassionately are stories that need to be told. It is inherently about the very hopeful outlook for people living with MS, in no short measure because of the tremendous pride, empathy and practical skills MS nurses bring to the table. But this is also a book that should inform and inspire medical and research professionals around the world, as it describes the tremendous leaps achieved in patient care and treatment.
