Doctor, Say What?: An Insider's Scoop To Getting The Best Medical Care

During his thirty-nine years of practicing medicine, Larry Altshuler, MD has noticed a troubling dichotomy in the world of American health care. While the scope and depth of medical knowledge has expanded exponentially, actual improvement in the overall health of patients and the delivery of services has not kept pace, and too many patients still suffer. Drawing from his years of experience and expertise in preventive, alternative and conventional medical therapies, Dr. Altshuler guides American health care consumers through the dysfunctions of the system to help them obtain the best possible care from medical professionals. Doctor, Say What? empowers people to understand and navigate the health care delivery system in order to advocate for themselves or loved ones. He breaks down what works—and what doesn’t—to protect people from wasting their precious resources and suffering needlessly. The first book explains how the US health care system actually works—shining a light on both the practice and the business of medicine and explaining all the non-medical entities that impact your health care. The second book is a unique guide, informing patients of the most effective therapies among their myriad choices for over ninety medical conditions.
