Details

Synopsis Doctors Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz earned the public's trust with their innovative and bestselling health guide, YOU: THE OWNERS MANUAL. Now, in YOU: THE SMART PATIENT, they team up with the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, a patients' advocacy group, for this savvy and practical consumer's guide for hospital patients, offering supportive guidance for navigating the sometimes tricky terrain of hospitals, health-care providers, regulations, medications, and treatment options. Mostly it begins with our bodies, ourselves. Putting you in the driver's seat means that you first gather a comprehensive self-profile, based on daily activities, medical history, and genealogy--and the authors provide helpful tables and checklists to get this done properly. They also offer enlightening advice on doctor-patient communication, tips on surviving the hospital stay, and ways to make good health-care decisions based on real options, including alternative care. An informed consumer is a good patient, and this book should definitely be consulted prior to a hospital stay.
