Without your knowledge, your medical care can be both dangerous and inadequate. Dr. Oliver reveals behind-the-scenes issues that will alarm you; but she will also give you the tools to get the good care that you deserve. -- There has yet to be a tell-it-like-it-is book on what goes on inside of medicine and how to avoid the pitfalls---but this is it. 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? Has your doctor ever given you an "it's-all-in-your-head" diagnosis? Dr. Oliver will give you strategies to handle those situations. -- Are you sure your treatment is correct and up-to-date? 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.
