I loved how she presented information; particularly, her experience as a patient and a multi-generation health practitioner. It gives a new perspective on how medicine works and how it's changing throughout generations. To me, the logical connection between her personal life and the lessons on "The business of healthcare" is in the fact that, although medicine is a business, its ultimate purpose is to take care of people, so it should work differently than other businesses. That's my main takeaway from the book.Sushan wrote: ↑31 May 2021, 23:46 The author has talked about general practitioners, her childhood home, and her own illness while talking about health insurance plans, choosing a primary care provider, creating living wills, etc. (Chapter 1 - about her illness, chapter 2 - why she wrote this book, chapter 3 - her father's practice and her childhood)
Do you feel like this book is a collection of scattered pieces of information or do you see a logical connection in between these content? What might have been the author's intention in including all this lateral information when she wanted to talk about the 'business aspect' of healthcare system?

Yes I agree with you, this book was so helpful to me.gabrielletiemi wrote: ↑01 Jun 2021, 12:32 At first, I thought that the first chapters you talked about weren't related, but after reading the entire volume, I found out that it was very helpful for me to relate to her as a common person who also needs health insurance plans because it's very common to read books that the author distances herself or himself from events, but the author here talked about her story too, making it easier to understand her motivations and to relate to the book too.
