Abstract

The author presents a piece of writing based on her personal reflections on healthcare. The author writes this information from her own perspective, having been the recipient of care herself over a long period of time as a result of a car accident in which she sustained burns in 80% of her body. She was in hospital over a long time and at present has overcome her accident and leads a full active life, continuing to work as a teacher in the academic field. We asked her to share her experiences with us because we are of the opinion that her thoughts is of great value for those people whom we teach and learn how to care.
