That could have far-reaching consequences. The websites are not as helpful as I had hoped. Possibly things change too quickly to keep up, but we did find a few of them worth the price of admission. ( ) MaryHeleneMele | May 6, 2019 | Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing.Goldberg covers everything from regular check-ups to surgery to emergency situations. She not only includes more specific advice for obstetric and pediatric patients but also addresses the needs of the LGBTQ community as well as the elderly. There are sections on insurance and medications. The best part of the book is the numerous websites Goldberg recommends. It’s a good idea to highlight these as you read because the URLs are not gathered in a list anywhere for easy referral. This is a good resource to have on hand before you need medical care. The writing style is easy to understand, even at times very casual, e.g. "don’t have a conniption fit." There are a few footnotes and some Endnotes as well as several appendices. The finished book will be indexed. (  ) Taphophile13 | Feb 11, 2019 | sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"From registered nurse and public health advocate Sana Goldberg, a timely, accessible, and comprehensive handbook to navigating common medical situations. From the routine to the unexpected, How to Be a Patient is your ultimate guide to better healthcare. Let's face it: nobody likes going to the doctor. It can be uncomfortable, nerve wracking, expensive--and that's just for routine care! When it's an emergency--how do you choose between the ER, Urgent Care, or waiting-until-Monday? And for everything in between, how do you get an accurate diagnosis and timely treatment when something is off? In How to Be a Patient, registered nurse and outspoken public health advocate Sana Goldberg provides readers with an honest guide to the complicated and often-intimidating medical landscape. At once a quick-reference pocket guide and a lifelong framework for approaching your healthcare, this invaluable resource empowers readers to take charge of their wellbeing. It lifts the veil on a complicated, fractured system, giving patients the tools communicate with its players and sidestep its most vexing realities. Warm and trustworthy, Goldberg's advice is as expert as it is easy-to-understand, as she calls on years of first-hand nursing experience to help readers confront challenges, take advantage of opportunities, and maximize insurance resources while fending off hidden fees that slip by unnoticed. From setting yourself up when all is well and making the most of routine appointments, to understanding hospital culture for a more positive experience, How to Be a Patient is relevant for readers at any age. With sections including When It's An Emergency, When It's Chronic, When You Have to Stand Up to Insurance, and When It's Your Person, Goldberg ensures patients have what they need in their hands to feel informed and confident as they move through the world of modern medicine. Containing glossaries of medical jargon, lists of free, essential screenings and unnecessary medical tests, as well as helpful appendices to assist patients in tracking their family history, prescriptions, and more, How to Be a Patient is a must-have book for anyone invested in their long-term health."-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

There is an abundance of good information in this book, but one of the most important bits is this: don't be passive just because somebody is wearing a white coat. You have the ability to affect your own care and you need to - the system as it exists in August of 2019 is not wired to do that for the average patient. I expect that I'll be rereading it in the future - I received this book through Early Reviewers, and I may have to join the camp of at least one previous Early Reviewer and buy a copy with a completed index.
