CHARLOTTE, N.C. - ncarol.com -- Imagine going into a local hospital for a simple elective shoulder surgery that cascades into eight and nearly costs you your life. That's what happened to Gregory W. Atkinson when he underwent a shoulder replacement surgery that went horribly wrong.

Healthcare Hell: The Irony of an Elective Surgery Gone Bad not only documents what Greg went through, it offers tips and sound advice on what readers can do to ensure that their next surgery doesn't trigger their own downward healthcare spiral.

Atkinson's book details how the founder of several Charlotte-area and national businesses went from an active and avid tennis player, golfer, fisherman and hunter to someone who could barely move his arm, lived with constant debilitating pain, and ultimately, almost died as a result of complications from multiple medical procedures.

"How one person could go through what he did and survive with a positive attitude is beyond my comprehension," noted Faye Lewark Daniels, Retired Administrative Assistant. "I am so glad that he took notes, kept them, and was able to write such a compelling, easy-to-understand, and informative book that everyone should read."

While the subject matter is dark, Healthcare Hell is surprisingly hopeful. It echoes the author's joyful sense of humor and unfailingly positive outlook on life. Rather than allow what happened to scar his psyche, Atkinson has crafted a book filled with hope to guide others on their medical journeys. Every chapter ends with a lesson that is compiled at the end into a helpful guide filled with issues to consider, plans to make in advance, red flags to be wary of, and preventive steps you can take in advance of your medical procedures to ensure a greater likelihood of success. Plus, a portion of the proceeds from each book purchased is being donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Author Gregory W. Atkinson Gregory W. Atkinson was a healthy 59-year-old man who averaged 10,000 steps a day played tennis 3-5 days a week, and worked on and managed his working farm all while still performing professionally as a magician as he has since he was 12 years old. His love for sports and constant activity was what motivated him to have an "elective surgery" that went horribly wrong. His hope is that reading his story prevents the same thing from happening to you or to someone you love.
