For the Love of Scott

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011

It was my plea­sure to help Dr. O of Olm­stead Pub­lish­ing with the e-publishing of this book by Jo Hamilton.

Every one should read “For the Love of Scott” by Jo Hamil­ton to be warned and bet­ter equipped to pro­tect your fam­ily. Every med­ical and hos­pi­tal employee and phar­ma­cist should read this book as an urgent reminder not to take any­thing you do for granted. Lives depend on you!

Prod­uct Descrip­tion from Publisher

Her mother cried out, “For the love of Scott! How could this have hap­pened?” Due to her edu­ca­tion in the health care field, Jo Hamil­ton became the liai­son between her fam­ily and the world-renowned 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 med­ical pro­fes­sion­als who had over­dosed him with drugs to the very brink of death in less than three days.

“Jo, you have to tell peo­ple what they’ve done to me. You have to tell them!” pleaded her lit­tle brother, as he lay writhing in agony.

In “For the Love of Scott!”, the author rec­ol­lects her family’s poignant story of love, bewil­der­ment, and lin­ger­ing frus­tra­tion when faced with cat­a­strophic med­ical mis­takes. Read the expe­ri­ences of Scott Hamilton’s fam­ily mem­bers as they strug­gle through a storm of hor­rific med­ical errors that could have been pre­vented and rec­og­nize what you need to do when some­one you love is faced with life-threatening cir­cum­stances cre­ated by health experts.

It took Jo 27 years to put this heart­break­ing event down on paper. Writ­ing opened old wounds and required hours of research and 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 that promise.

To help fur­ther her goals, Jo Hamil­ton will be donat­ing a por­tion of the pro­ceeds from the sale of her book, to the 1984 Olympic Gold Medal Win­ner, Scott Hamilton’s foun­da­tion, The Scott Hamil­ton CARES Ini­tia­tive. The Scott Hamil­ton CARES Ini­tia­tive was cre­ated to help with can­cer research, sup­port can­cer patients and their fam­i­lies, and find a cure cancer.
