2015 Review Round-Up: Nonfiction: The Patient's Playbook, Leslie D. Michelson

The Patient's Playbook: How to Save Your Life and the Lives of Those You Love
Leslie D. Michelson
ISBN: 9780385352284
A guide to choosing and navigating the American healthcare system to optimize health and safety.
Read December 2015

A sobering look at how messed-up our healthcare system is, and how absolutely critical it is for people to know how to stand up for themselves and organize themselves to gain the best care and the best medical outcomes for themselves.  Solid tips for choosing a primary care provider, a hospital, a specialist, and for navigating the world of consultations, test results, and second opinions.

Really useful, well organized, and practical, with a lot of case studies and individualized examples, which I especially like reading.  An excellent resource.
