BY FORBES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, AND JOAN HAMBURG The
highest ranking female surgeon at New York Presbyterian,
wife, and mother of four tells how to get the doctor you
need and the care you deserve. The United States has the
best doctors and medical centers in the world, and you too
can get to these doctors—on any insurance plan or income.
Get your doctor the way physicians do for themselves and
their families. Introduction by Herbert Pardes, M.D., CEO of
New York Presbyterian, and endorsed by the CEOs of Johns
Hopkins and Washington University (St. Louis) Medical
Centers. Dr. Pamela Gallin had hand surgery, which went
well, but the cast was too tight. She needed two subsequent
operations. This book answers questions like: How do you
find the right doctor for you? What credentials do you want
your doctor to have? How do you speak to him or her when you
are in the office? What MUST you know about your hospital
and how doctors function as a team? This book decodes the
mysteries of the medical world and shows you in a "how-to"
way how to navigate the maze successfully. There are
sections on the invisible doctors—the anesthesiologists,
radiologists, and pathologists—who are often more important
than the doctor you start with. How to get a second opinion,
where to find a doctor, and how to organize your complicated
medical information, step by step and piece by piece.
