Could You Be A Determined Patient?

You can access an extraordinary amount of information about health conditions on a smartphone while sitting in a doctor's waiting room, but do you know what you're looking for and how to make sense of everything? Too often, patients end up with incomplete knowledge, don't know what questions to ask their doctors, and are reluctant to be completely frank about what they're experiencing and what they need from their health care providers.

To address these challenges, Drs. Bob Danziger and Maggie Gellens wrote this practical guide for patients and caretakers. Two physicians with over 60 years combined experience in the world of medicine, Danziger and Gellens empower readers to:

- Take charge of their health care

- Navigate the complexities of the medical system

- Partner effectively with their doctors

- Become well informed, strong self-advocates

- Achieve the best possible health outcomes
