This is a book that needs to be read by everyone. It's written by someone who has been both a doctor and a patient. Thus, this book can provide a unique perspective not found easily otherwise.
Thanks for this amazing review :tiphat:

In this recent times it is really hard to make health care decisions. Loads of money that is spent, whether the right treatment will be provided or not and above all the care to be provided to our loved once. I m glad there is book that answers such everyday concerns. I'll surely give this book a read. Great review. :)

Heath issue becomes very important these days. As it is mentioned in the review, many people would not read this type of book by just coming across the title or the cover. Thanks for the review.

Surviving the Business of Healthcare is a definitive guide by Barbara Galutia Regis PA-C. As a fourth-generation family practice provider and also a cancer patient, Regis provides a comprehensive perspective based on her familial, professional, and personal experiences. In concise and easy-to-understand chapters, she offers insight on such topics as the importance of being informed and advocating for yourself, health insurance options, the roles of different healthcare providers, and navigating hospital admission. Regis also documents her progression, diagnosis, and treatment as a cancer patient "diagnosed with a rare form called amelanotic nodular melanoma."

Regis packs a wealth of information in this comprehensive handbook. Growing up in a home where the front foyer served as the patient waiting room for her father's family practice, she provides readers with a unique glimpse into the drastic changes in healthcare in recent generations. Regis explains her role as a "cradle-to-grave practitioner" and emphasizes the importance of selecting the right primary care physician. She offers readers practical advice, such as "If you feel rushed and unheard, then find another PCP." Regis describes her purpose for writing the book: "to provide information that will empower you to make better healthcare decisions for you and your family."

An excellent book written about healthcare by a healthcare provider that was diagnosed with cancer and was able to write about healthcare from the provider and recipient prospective. Good official review.

Nowadays most doctors make their diagnosis even before doing the necessary check ups especially with the onslaught of the Covid-19 virus sighting ''orders from above.'' It's very refreshing to see one who actually cares from your health care. This review is 100% on point.

Although this book isn’t quite my favorite genre, I can certainly see its usefulness across the board. I liked the friendly narrative in the sample. It’s also great that I’s so well-edited! Thanks for a great review!

What a great review. I love how effectively you explained exactly what to expect from the book. I would definitely want to have a book like this in my library, even though I live in a different country. Healthcare is a very important issue, and it is good to be equipped with knowledge that can be beneficial to your family's wellbeing.
