When the person you love is lying in a hospital bed, your voice may be the one thing standing between silence and answers.

When Roger became critically ill, Melanie Rae found herself navigating the healthcare system not as a healthcare executive, but as a wife, caregiver, and patient advocate. As diagnoses changed, warning signs were dismissed, and healthcare professionals sometimes overlooked what seemed obvious, she discovered that trusting her instincts could make the difference between answers and uncertainty. Every chapter reveals the emotional reality of advocating for someone you love while navigating an often overwhelming medical system.

Sitting in the Chair is an intimate medical memoir and practical patient-advocacy guide. Woven throughout this true story are seven hard-earned advocacy tools designed to help readers ask better questions, protect their loved ones' dignity, navigate complex medical situations, and find the confidence to speak up when something doesn't feel right.

Heartbreaking, hopeful, and deeply human, Sitting in the Chair is for caregivers, families, healthcare professionals, and anyone who has ever wondered what they would do if the person they loved most suddenly needed them to become their voice.
