Savvy Patient: The Ultimate Advocate for Quality Healthcare

Author: Mark Pettus

The American health care system is an overwhelming and intimidating system to navigate. This is made even more challenging as we confront an illness or crisis in our lives or in the life of someone we love. For many patients and their families itâЂ™s like being cast adrift in the open sea during a storm. In his book, The Savvy Patient, Dr. Mark Pettus provides the information needed to understand the health care system in a caring and compassionate manner. Dr. Pettus helps you understand how to obtain the knowledge you need, communicate with health care workers, and negotiate and resolve conflicts as they come up. The Savvy Patient also provides question templates to guide you in acquiring the necessary information. If you ever wanted to just pick up the phone at any time of day or night and have a frank and caring talk with your doctor, The Savvy Patient is that conversation.
