US health care realities, 2009: low personal medical attention due to cost reduction and regulation; 40 percent of national misdiagnosis, in recent surveys; and the urgent need for people to take responsibility for their own care. To address these issues, Lisa Hall, whose chronic condition was close to 10 years to diagnose correctly, provides a variety of practical resources to empower patients.
Hall's experience is supported by the experience of the internist Ronald White, a fellow at the Institute for Improving Health Care. Readers will find valuable guidance on how to: find the right type of doctor, check physician credentials, increase the benefits of office visits; maximize online research; navigate medical insurance, medical care, workers' compensation, disable social security; ; And the organization of medical records.
The author encourages readers to go step by step - look back and see God's plan formed through difficulties.
