Synopsis

Knowing your medical rights can save your life or the life of someone you love. It can make the difference between a successful medical encounter or one that ends in tragedy.
Using a readable question-and-answer format, Your Medical Rights tackles such issues as accountability, disclosure, and confidentiality. This provocative book arms consumers with a broad base of knowledge, and includes special sections that address the rights of older patients and the mysteries of Medicare. An entire chapter is devoted to your legal rights regarding life support, resuscitation, and living wills.
Your Medical Rights lets you take charge of when, where, and how you'll receive medical treatment and from whose hands.
