Contraportada

Once upon a time Americans had family doctors: white-coated figures who knew all about each patient's history. Today we have PCPs, HMOs, and a good deal of anxiety. Now M.D.-turned-patient-advocate Marie Savard shows you why you must be at the center of your own health care -- and arms you with eight revolutionary yet commonsense steps that tell you:
-- Why you must collect copies of all your medical records -- and how it can be done
-- Why you must acquire a working knowledge of any conditions you have -- and which Web sites are most helpful
-- Which tests, exams, and immunizations you should routinely receive -- and how to read and understand test results
-- How to be an active partner with your doctor -- with a health journal, a "health buddy", and more
-- How to work with the system -- in the hospital and with insurance companies. This book offers the tips that just might save your life -- or that of someone you love.
