You'll get practical strategies you can use to stay healthy and stay out of harm's way. -- Are your concerns unheard or dismissed by your doctor?

Could you be mismanaged or misdiagnosed? Dr. Oliver will tell you how to find out, and then what to do next. -- Do you know what your most important asset is for getting good medical care? She'll tell you. -- Do doctors always have your best interests at heart? Maybe not, so you'll need to use some strategies to get the care you need.
