Patients are critical to healthcare delivery, yet their concerns and perspective are frequently lost in translation or, at worst, blatantly ignored. Patients don’t even have a place in organizational charts. Yet patients deserve their own branch of science, and author Pamela J. Brink, RN, PhD, FAAN, has started a conversation about giving patients that niche in a new area of study called “patientology”. This work is a brief overview of concepts such as medical sociology and nursing, and will prompt further research and delineation.

Looking back, author Pamela J. Brink never really wanted to be a nurse, but when she was in high school, she couldn’t think of any other career for women she felt drawn to. She was expected to go to college, but she had no idea what she wanted to do with her life. In An Academic Nurse’s Tale, Brink narrates her story, telling how her choice turned out to be a perfect one.

Pamela Brink has lived in harmony with German Shepherds since she can remember. She has fiercely loved them and lived with the heartbreak of losing them.

In short, her life has been blessed by the devotion of these marvelous dogs.

Three siblings from the Philippines wrote down what they remembered about being imprisoned by the Japanese during World War II. Pamela J. Brink, Robert A. Brink, and John W. Brink all survived the ordeal, but only one of them—Pamela—is still alive today. She shares their experiences in this memoir that recounts the horrors of war as seen through the eyes of children. At age 13, John W. was the oldest when they were captured, and his account is likely the most accurate of all three. Robert and Pamela's versions are different as they saw everything through younger, more fearful eyes.
