Aging, Health Care, and You! - A Doctor's Personal Prescription for Understanding and Improving Your Health Care (Paperback)

Having limited face time with their doctor during their brief medical office or clinic visit, most people (but particularly the elderly) will find their questions, frustrations, and medical problems inadequately answered. This book was inspired by actual issues which confused, confounded, and frustrated older patients, and for which they, and their caregivers repeatedly sought answers and explanations: issues dealing with aging, health and disease, health care, hospitalization, emergency care, insurance, medical billing, medications, laboratory testing, interactions with doctors, and much more. Inspired by their need for answers, this book was written to fill many of the gaps in the average senior's knowledge, and help them understand what's happening in their bodies and in their medical life. This book confronts the complexity of health care for the elderly, and offers guidance for a longer and happier life. It is what you need to know if you are an older health care consumer.
