Survive the Hospital, Be Your Own Advocate, Don't Get Neglected (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218125899)

Have you ever walked out of the doctor's office wondering what just happened?

Have you left the hospital in worse condition than before you went in?

Have you lost a family member or a friend knowing the hospital made a mistake or felt like they did make a mistake?

Have you been denied a medical procedure or treatment because your insurance company refused to pay for it?

Are you frustrated by the system, feeling ignored, inundated with medical bills, or completely lost when you go see a doctor?

Well, you're not alone! My name is Traci, I have been an emergency room Nurse for 12 years, along with many other specialties. I lost my father due to the negligence of our system and my mother lost half her nose because the doctor wouldn't listen to her, which is why I'm writing this book. I will teach you about how our health system works, offer some solutions to help change it, and show you how to be your own advocate. I'm going to tell you what really goes on, on the inside!

I am going to give you pointers on how to survive while in the hospital, maintain a healthier lifestyle so you don't end up in the hospital, how to interact with your doctor, what test results mean, and how to demand care and actually get it.

I had a doctor recently tell me, "Do you want to survive? Don't go to the hospital. We all know we will end up there one day. So be prepared when you do!

Empower yourself with knowledge!
