Review of Surviving the Business of Healthcare
[Following is a volunteer review of "Surviving the Business of Healthcare" by Barbara Galutia Regis PA-C.]
If there is one medical guidebook on healthcare in the United States I would implore its citizens to read, it would be Surviving the Business of Healthcare by Barbara Galutia Regis PA-C.
Barbara Galutia is a woman of many talents. She was an accomplished musician and teacher with dual bachelor's degrees from two prestigious American universities. She decided to leave her music career after much deliberation and opted for a career in medicine. She then obtained her Master’s of Science in Physician Assistant Studies. She has since followed in the footsteps of three generations of family practice as a Physician Assistant for over 20 years. This book is her unique perspective as a healthcare provider and a patient, which is quite rare and illuminating.
The information in this book is quite extensive and covers everything a patient should know about healthcare in the United States. For example, it explains different types of practitioners and their specialities. It also details the world of health insurance and the coverages they offer. In addition, Barbara made herself a live case study by sharing her experience as a patient when she received some devastating news about her health towards the end of writing this book. I like that it allows the reader to understand a real-life experience rather than just reading about facts and figures.
I also like how Barbara takes us back on memory lane by sharing childhood experiences and what growing up with a doctor as a father felt like. It was interesting to look back through her eyes and see how much doctor-patient relationships have changed so much through the years. Healthcare back then was more hands-on then than in the world today. With technology becoming more sophisticated and innovative, one cannot help but wonder if the quality of personal healthcare would be diminished in decades to come.
My only issue is that the information is only for American citizens. I believe this might affect or perhaps limit the number of readers that might benefit from reading this book.
All in all, I would rate it 4 out of 4 stars for being such an informative and enlightening book. I could not find any typos, so I have to say it is exceptionally well edited. There are no profanities or erotic scenes, so it is suitable for everyone, young and old. I would recommend it to every American citizen who wants detailed information on the type of healthcare available in their country. Perhaps other non-citizens could give it a go, as well, to learn about wholesome doctor-patient relationships. They wouldn’t regret it. I certainly did not.
