The realities of American health care, 2009:

• Less personal medical attention due to cost-cutting and regulation

• A 40 percent national misdiagnosis rate, per recent surveys

• A critical need for people to take responsibility for their own care

Targeting these issues, author Lisa Hall -- whose debilitating condition took nearly ten years to properly diagnose -- offers a wide variety of practical resources to empower patients. Hall's experience is buttressed by the expertise of internal-medicine doctor Ronald Wyatt, a fellow of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.

Readers will find valuable guidance on how to

• find the right kind of doctor, check physician credentials, and increase benefits of office visits

• maximize Internet research

• navigate medical insurance, Medicare, workers' compensation, and Social Security disability

• reduce vulnerability to hospital mistakes

• organize medical records

The author encourages readers to move forward step by step -- and to look back and see God's plan taking shape through the difficulties.
