Patient Advocate Releases New Book "For the Love of Scott!" at Olmstead Publishing
"Jo, you have to tell people what they've done to me. You have to tell them!" pleaded Jo Hamilton's little brother, as he lay writhing in agony.

APOPKA, FL, December 30, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Scott Hamilton was a talented and handsome Iowa farm boy and he had a shot at a minor league pitching career with the White Sox. Then Scott's dreams became his family's worst nightmare. They could not convince the doctors in a world-renowned hospital that he was dying.

"For the Love of Scott! How could this have happened?" cried his mother.

It took Jo Hamilton 27 years to put this tragic event down on paper. Writing opened old wounds and required hours of documentation. It forced her family to relive a chapter in their own lives that they desperately wanted closed. Yet, they rallied together to help Jo with her mission to keep her promise to Scott.

In For the Love of Scott!, the author recollects her family's poignant story of love, bewilderment, and lingering frustration when faced with a storm of horrific medical errors that could have been prevented.

Due to her education in the health care field, Jo became the liaison between her family and the hospital treating her younger brother. She taught her family how to read Scott's medical chart and to ask pointed questions, no longer leaving his care to the professionals who had overdosed him with drugs to the very brink of death in less than three days.

Jo Hamilton hopes that readers will learn from her family's ordeal. Her moving and thought-provoking book also helps people recognize what they need to do when someone they love is faced with a similar situation.

Since her brother's tragic experience, the author has reentered the medical field from a different perspective and she continues to research ways to help prevent errors in our health care system. Jo holds court with her readers on Facebook at For the Love of Scott.

Olmstead Publishing has made the book available at www.OlmsteadPublishing.com in paper and electronic formats.
