Summary
Details

Let's face it--no one wants to become an expert in health care. But here you are, holding this book, which means you or someone you love is about to dive headfirst into the confusing labyrinth of insurance forms, hospitals, nursing homes, and of course, the ever elusive skilled nursing facility (what does that even mean, right?). But don't worry, you're in good hands.

In Break Glass in Case of Emergency, we'll walk you through everything from decoding insurance fine print to figuring out how to escape a hospital without ending up with a bill the size of a small country's GDP. We'll take you on a journey through assisted living, skilled nursing, nursing homes, and hospice; and I promise, it's not all doom and gloom! Along the way, you'll pick up helpful tips, tricks, and strategies to make informed decisions, avoid pitfalls, and actually feel in control of the health care process (yes, it's possible!).

This book is packed with expert advice, seasoned from years of health care experience, but served with a side of humor. After all, when the system seems designed to confuse you, sometimes laughter is the best medicine (next to actual medicine, of course).

Whether you're a caregiver, patient, or someone just trying to make sense of the next big move, this guide is your trusty companion. Empower yourself with knowledge, prepare for the unexpected, and maybe even chuckle a little along the way, because you can't spell health care without care; and with this book, you'll be ready for anything.
