Review of Surviving the Business of Healthcare
There's so much in the healthcare system. This book, Surviving the Business of Healthcare, covers most of the things associated with healthcare. The author, Barbara Galutia Regis PA-C, was qualified to write this book. This is because she's a doctor from generations of doctors. She goes on to tell us how we can get good healthcare services. She wrote about health insurance. She wrote about drugs and so many other things.
Barbara's father was a doctor in the 1960s. She wrote of her time as a young girl with her parents. She spoke about what being a small-town doctor implied for her dad. As a little town with a small population, her father knew everyone there. So there was a time when one of them killed another, a sixteen-year-old boy. This was a hard time for the town and even harder for her family. This was because they had to be neutral. She said that her mother maintained a good relationship with the family of the murderer and the murdered boy. Her father also took care of both families, despite the malice around town for the murderer's family.
This book was quite interesting. There's this widely propagated idea that most doctors would be so busy taking care of others that they wouldn't take care of their health. I think Barbara was an example. She noted the growth on her arm but ignored it because she was so busy with her work. In the end, it turned out to be a serious ailment. I also noticed her passion for her job in the letter she wrote to people in authority. It was clear that she wanted healthcare to be accessible to everyone, whether rich or poor.
There was nothing I disliked about this book. It was non-fiction, but I enjoyed it greatly. I was intrigued by the amount of new information I got from the book. I read some things about drugs. She mentioned how one can get drugs at a very inexpensive price. She talked about the use of hard drugs and how the system propagated them. Some painkillers can be addictive, so they're carefully prescribed and monitored. However, it seemed that those that weren't addictive were sold at a very high price, whereas those that could cause addiction were sold very cheaply. I liked the short content of the chapters. I also liked the life story the author wrote about in the book.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I found no errors. It was exceptionally well-edited. I gave it a perfect rating because of its important educational content. This is a book that will appeal to a lot of audiences. The content was also written in comprehensible words. I recommend this book to doctors, nurses, patients, and caregivers of sick individuals.

Books like these is a must read for people like me who in one way or the other participates in care giving. The part about additive drugs and their prices caught my attention.
Nice review!
