“This book is for everyone who decides to take charge of their own health and their own destiny.” —Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN
Why doesn’t your doctor listen to you? Are you using your precious few minutes in the exam room well? Feeling left out of a healthcare system that doesn’t seem to care—about you?
Mayo Clinic's Dr. Edward Creagan addresses critical changes in the healthcare delivery system and surviving even a dread diagnosis in this revised third edition of his award-winning book so you can be an empowered patient and make the most of your 16 minutes in the exam room.
You can forge the right kind of relationship with your care providers. You can understand the importance of the patient portal and why the electronic medical record has changed everything about care delivery. You need to know how COVID changed healthcare (doctors are burning out and retiring early, appointments are hard to get, specialists even harder to see, insurance companies are making decisions about your healthcare, and telemedicine has replaced the hands-on exam—none of this is good news for you, as a patient).
No one has a greater stake in your health than you. If you want to be healthy for life, this book explains how you can—
-
Learn to talk so your doctor will listen.
-
Get insights on how to navigate patient portals and telemedicine visits.
-
Understand your diagnosis—and realize that you can survive bad news.
-
Follow Dr. Ed’s 8 simple commandments for living well—and you’ll live long enough to cash in your 401(k) if you haven’t already.
-
Separate hype from hope, especially with perplexing medical headlines and confusing internet information.
-
Get insight into what your doctor wasn’t taught in medical school.
-
Combine the best of traditional and complementary treatments.
Edward T. Creagan, MD, FAAHPM, is Professor Emeritus of Medical Oncology at the Mayo Clinic Medical School, Emeritus Professor of Humanism in Medicine, and Emeritus Consultant in Palliative Medicine. He is board certified in internal medicine, medical oncology, and hospice medicine and palliative care.

"Forget the TV doctors (please!). Dr. Ed Creagan is the real deal, a superb physician who knows what it takes for people to live long and well. In this book, he generously shares his experience and wisdom with the rest of us. I, for one, am taking his guidance to heart, and I hope to outlive him!"

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
