Dottie Porter delightfully tells how she expanded on her basic nursing training, through imagination, intuition, non-traditional techniques, and holistic methods to meet the ever expanding needs she encountered during her many years of care-giving. This book is a must for all new students of care-giving. It is also inspiring reading for all those who have compassion for others. --Eleanor Pershing.
