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.Recent advances in medical technology mean that there are currently an extraordinary array of health care choices available to the public. In this important book, Dr. Savard, a doctor turned patient advocate, equips readers with the techniques for navigating the often confusing world of healthcare, enabling them to take control of their own health. Chapters include: -- Trusting yourself as the real expert about your health-- Collecting and studying your medical records-- Researching your conditions, diseases, and injuries-- Learning which tests and immunizations you need-- And more.
