Synopsis

If Only My Doctor Had Told Me!

Your Rights as a Patient and the Law that Protects You

The United States healthcare system is sick and patients are suffering. We spend more money on our medical care than any other developed country, but our average life spans are shorter.

We take more drugs than other nations and pay far more for them.

Accidental drug overdoses now kill more people each year than vehicle accidents.

Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in America, right after heart disease and cancer.

Why is this happening? What can we do about it?

How can we take back our medical care and return to thoughts of maintaining robust physical health rather than managing diseases and “disorders”?

Nowhere in our education do we learn about our rights as patients - not in school, not from our parents, not from our doctors or nurses, not even from a PBS special. And, as patients, we do have rights.

One of the most powerful solutions to getting the care you need and deserve lies within the pages of this book.

Includes special interviews with experts in a variety of healthcare fields.

This book is a must for any individual who wants to ensure they get the best possible medical care.
