(HealthNewsDigest.com) – What is the most important question you should ask your doctor? Why is there such limited interaction between patient and physician? What is the best way to get the most successful health care? Recent studies have found that problems in communication and information flow were found to have measurable negative impact on patient safety. This is something that has come to light during the recent Ebola issue. Patients have questions, they have fears and they need answers to both major and minor health issues. AGING, HEALTH CARE AND YOU! A Doctor’s Personal Prescription for Understanding and Improving Your Health Care by Dr. Martin Finkelstein provides these answers.
Having limited face time with their doctor during their brief medical office or clinic visits, most people (particularly the elderly) will find their questions, frustrations, and medical problems inadequately answered. AGING, HEALTH CARE AND YOU! hopes to put an end to the confusion and shine a light on personal health care in today’s society.
This book was inspired by actual issues which confused, confounded, and frustrated patients: issues dealing with aging, health and disease, health care, hospitalization, emergency care, insurance, medical billing, medications, laboratory testing, interactions with doctors, and much more. AGING, HEALTH CARE AND YOU! was written to fill many of the gaps in the average patient’s knowledge and help them understand what’s happening in their bodies and in their medical life. Dr. Finkelstein’s book confronts the complexity of health care and offers guidance for a longer and happier life.
Written in such a way that you feel you are sitting with your doctor one-on-one, Dr. Finkelstein takes the mystery out of the medical profession and helps patients understand their health care.
