I am 70 plus years old. I'm seeing more doctors and working to take care of myself. I have 20 plus good years left and want to make the most of every day! Many years ago I became frustrated with the medical system. So I did what I do best. I started asking questions about how to work the system better. I asked doctors, nurses, caregivers, other patients and more. What I learned was amazing. I became an empowered patient. I learned how to work with doctors, ask questions, follow through and more. I turned this new found knowledge into one of the few consumer-written books on patient empowerment--Sick of Doctors? Then Do Something About It! A Prescription for Patient Empowerment. I now write, blog, speak and promote patient empowerment in the press from coast to coast. I encourage you to join me and become empowered... your doctors will thank you!
