SURVIVING CHAOS
AUTHOR TELLS HIS STORY ABOUT GROWING IN EXTREME POVERTY WITH A SCHIZOPHRENIC MOM
Harold Phifer has announced the publication of his second book, a collection of autobiographical short stories exploring his sad and often appalling upbringing in Columbus, Mississippi. Kept secret for more than 50 years, Phifer’s childhood was largely forgotten until an explosion during a job in Afghanistan forced him to take some time off to recover in a paradise beach resort in Thailand.
While there, he met an unusual but compassionate stranger who pulled him into a long discussion about his experiences growing up. Hours later, Phifer finally found a measure of peace from the ghosts of his past and began planning out the stories that would later appear in Surviving Chaos. The book is available for purchase via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Audible. For More Info Click Here

“I wanted to give an insider guide to patients,” said Dr. Elita Wyckoff Jones, who has been a practicing physician in obstetrics and gynecology for the past 15 years. “We want them to take charge of their medical care, to be informed and armed with insight.”
Dr. Shamolie Wyckoff, a practicing physician in physical medicine and rehabilitation for the past 11 years, adds, “The world has changed and health care with it. We also must adapt how we approach and interact with the health care system to make sure it still serves our purpose - improving our health and living a long and quality life.”
The sisters know that going to the doctor is stressful. Their book offers readers advice on how to:
• Foster a healthier doctor/patient relationship
• Take a more active role in maintaining their health
• Reduce anxiety when speaking with doctors and preparing for surgical procedures
• Overcome fears of taking medicine and understand side effects
• Understand the purpose and roles of various staff in doctors’ offices
• Create a “health care capsule,” recording your personal medical history
“We hope the book will empower individuals to take a more active role in maintaining the health of our mind and bodies,” Shamolie says.
Elita adds, “The book is meant to be instructional and useful to people regardless of educational level.”
To purchase the book, go to WithEaseBook.com
