DESCRIPTION:
"Choose active not passive ." according to Dr. Book. Wow! I've been waiting for something like this to come along without even realizing it! Lang advocates for you advocating for yourself when it comes to your navigation through the healthcare system. Like being told to treat our elders with respect, we often sit respectfully in front of physicians and often times advocate for ourselves by getting out of the habit of passivity. Lang provides a guidebook for success and helps you to feel that your voice needs to be heard through powerful strategies that you can use, share with your parents, grandparents, and children as they grow old, as well. Brilliant topic. Remarkable.. "or anyone you love, needs surgery - or to be hospitalized" according to M. Tublin. Literally every single person should read this book!!! And if I were you, I would read this book before you, or anyone you love, needs surgery - or to be hospitalized! Our hospital system is one big complex system - where the right hand usually does not know what the left hand is doing. It emphasizes how YOU - the patient - and/or your family - MUST navigate the health care system for your own health care. Do NOT leave your health care in the hands of anyone other than yourself - or someone you love. AND this book acts as a blueprint that shows you exactly how to navigate your surgery/hospitalization.. The reality is that this is not an isolated story What better vantage point to understand the complex maze of the healthcare system than from the patient himself. As a healthcare advocate, I found myself nodding my head along each page of this book, often times shaking my head as well due to the immense challenges that Lang found himself up against. The reality is that this is not an isolated story. Anyone who has been or is going through a healthcare crisis will find powerful information in this book!
Patient Confidential also functions as a handbook readers can consult before every encounter with the healthcare system.. It prepares readers for medical office visits, surgeries, rehabilitation, insurance and more. Patient Confidential will teach readers to be active players in their healthcare and to get the most out of the healthcare system with the least amount of risk
