About
A MUST-READ BOOK THAT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!
I wrote this book the healthcare system almost killed my best friend - three times!
June was discharged from the hospital too early after complications from metastatic breast cancer
I was retired , but I was tangentially involved in her care. I pleaded with her hospitalist to keep her just one more night and do the required test on her to find the correct treatment. He refused!
I called her and told her to Not sign the discharge papers!
I helped arrange for transfer to another Hospital, some rudimentary test were done there, but not the ones she needed. She was again prematurely discharged home..
She collapsed at home within 24 hours, and this is only a fraction of the harmful care June ecieved and I intervened in.
That's what happens when cost-saving matters more than patient safety.
Have you or a loved one ever struggled to get the healthcare you deserve? Have you ever felt ignored, misdiagnosed, or lost in the bureaucracy of the medical system? If so, this book is for you! the author pulls back the curtain on the modern healthcare system, exposing its cracks and offering patients a much-needed roadmap to securing quality care. Written by a physician with 40 years on the front lines, this book is both an exposé and a survival guide. It pulls no punches. From negligent exams, long appointment times, and unanswered calls to heartless insurance denials and premature discharges, it exposes the dangerous realities patients face every day in our profit-driven healthcare system. The fact that over 200,000 MDs and NPs left Medicine in 2020, many because of burnout and being overworked; and more than usual are leaving every year after that, has added to the insurmountable burden on our Healthcare system
Now, looming cuts to Medicare and Medicaid threaten to make things even worse. Proposed plans to slash funding and remove millions from coverage could push an already strained system past the breaking point. Her friend/patient June's battle against breast cancer was not just a fight against the disease but also a fight against medical negligence, poor communication, and a broken system that almost cost her life 3 times.
Inside, you'll learn:
How to navigate Managed Care systems and advocate for essential treatments.
Strategies to overcome hurdles like insurance denials, long waits, and limited provider networks.
Proven tips for securing preventive care, managing prescriptions, maximizing telehealth services, and getting prior authorizations from insurance companies.
You'll learn the power of self-advocacy to avoid dangerous medical missteps. It informs you how to find the right advocate. It outlines standard health care needs for seniors. It outlines core components of pediatric care. It lists common nonprofit Advocacy Organizations for children. This is about you, your family, your life.
Because your life is worth more than someone else's bottom line.
