Managing Your Health Care : Making the Most of Your Medical
Resources
This book offers very practical and very specific advice on all aspects of
"being a patient." It is short, and a quick read, using plenty of
lists and bullet points to get its message across. It is short on
illustrative stories and examples, and devoid of pretty prose, instead
focusing matter-of-factly on what you need to know. The authors
emphasize getting organized, getting educated, and finding the right
doctor at the right time; and anyone following the steps laid out here
will have a definite advantage over the typical patient. An ideal
starting point for the person who needs to know right now what
he/she ought to be doing to cope with a new diagnosis or illness.
