From registered nurse and public health advocate Sana Goldberg, RN,
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. Did
you know that patients have statistically better outcomes when
their surgeon is female? That you can mark-up an informed consent
sheet before you sign it, or get second opinions on CTs and MRIs?
That there's a blue book for healthcare procedures, or an algorithm
to decide between ER, Urgent Care, and waiting-until-Monday? In How
to Be a Patient, nurse and public health advocate Sana Goldberg
walks readers through the complicated and uncertain medical
landscape, illuminating a path to better care. Warm and disarmingly
honest, Goldberg's advice is as expert as it is accessible. In the
face of an epidemic of brusque, impersonal care she empowers
readers with the information and tools to come to good decisions
with their providers and sidestep the challenging realities of
modern medicine. With sections like When All is Well, When It's An
Emergency, When It's Your Person, and When You Have to Stand Up to
the Industry, along with appendices to help track family history,
avoid pointless medical tests, and choose when and where to undergo
a procedure, How to Be a Patient is an invaluable and essential
guide for a new generation of patients.
