Appendicitis: One Angry Worm, follows the successful 'battle' of an elementary school child against Appendicitis, or an infected appendix, which is depicted as an 'angry worm'. The story describes the child's journey in easy to understand language and vibrant illustration from the onset of symptoms, to diagnosis, to surgical treatment. The book guides patients and caregivers through the typical hospital experience, to improve understanding of what may follow a diagnosis of appendicitis, helping to ease their fear and worry. It includes a glossary of common words you'll hear doctors use through treatment and a 'Facts' section containing important information, to supplement conversations with doctors. Additional special sections contain surgery facts, instructions for after surgery, and what to expect with perforated appendicitis (when the appendix ruptures). This informative and enjoyable book is part of the series The Strength of My Scars, written and illustrated by surgeon, Maria Baimas-George.
