Never Quit until You Win: A Journey of Faith and Medicine
After over forty years working in medical professions ranging from orderly to hospital administrator, Louis West thought he knew all there was to know about the healthcare system. But when his wife suffered a massive bi-lateral stroke in 2002, Louis received a crash course in healthcare from the patient and caregiver's point of view. In Never Quit Until You Win: A Journey of Faith and Medicine, Louis describes his and Betty's journey through the healthcare and insurance system as he learns to be an advocate and caregiver for Betty. In this touching and inspirational story, Louis passes on the lessons he and Betty learned, aided by a strong faith in God, as well as many wonderful friends and healthcare professionals.
"...Louis has written a book for all of us to inspire the best in our human nature under the harshest of circumstances. He speaks of how to move from fear to faith and on to fight - a moving tribute to a partner, but also a lesson in humanity." - Edward Fox, MD

This book is a how-to manual for advocating and care-giving for a friend or family member who is seriously ill, wrapped in a love story. It's particularly helpful for people dealing with someone who has had a stroke or other brain injury. In spite of all obstacles, the author triumphs because of his love for his wife and God's love for him.
