During my course of working as a health care professional, I came across people with different diagnosis of which some either went to the wrong doctor or did not know how to confirm or manage the illness. Unfortunately some ended up as hospice (palliative or end-stage), which is already too late to be helped. As I listened to their stories, I came to realize that people are operating in fear as they or their family get a devastating diagnosis or prognosis. Also people are forced to pick any hospital or physician to treat immediately without knowing much or understanding the terminology of the illness, diagnosis, treatment or recovery and the changes to expect. That change became the formation of Hand In Crisis .
