Twice Wronged

Twice Wronged highlights a patient's struggle with both cancer and the insensitivity of the medical profession. Gilda Arruda shares her sister's frustration with the lack of compassion on the part of her physicians, as well as their inability to adequately explain her illness or sympathize with her disease. The book also highlights several key themes, such as what can be done to improve cancer patients' confidence in asking questions, making them aware that a person should never feel intimidated by another's title or degree. This book is meant to spread awareness to all patients and their families. Gilda Arruda's personal account of her sister's battle with cancer will focus awareness on the patient and not on the medical system. Twice Wronged places emphasis on the feelings, mental well-being, and personal journey that is unique for each individual patient.
