I could remember it vividly during one of my postings to a rural community. Before we departed, we were to register for a health seminar that would guide us in the new community we would find ourselves in. When I got to the community, I found out that their healthcare system was very appalling, owing to a lack of information. Surviving the Business of Healthcare by Barbara Galutia Regis PA-C is aimed at providing the necessary information to hasten the recovery process of our healthcare.

This book is a handy manual that contains 146 pages and 29 chapters. The author comes from a family of medical professionals. The author's wealth of experience exposes us to the amazing contents of this book. There was a lot, but I was particularly interested in chapter 10, which talks about elder abuse. The author detailed the abuse that the elderly go through. I see old age as a stage most people aren't privileged to see. The elderly should be loved, cared for, and protected. The author addressed this as one of the healthcare challenges regarding the aged. You would surely love to read about other pressing health issues as well. Grab a copy.

This is a well-written and well-plotted book. I love how the book was written in two ways, which talk about the author's life as a patient and her life as a professional. You can't understand a system if you aren't a part of it. The author's motive is to give us the information needed for us to be part of a positive healthcare system. I also loved how the author addressed issues within the confines of the medical profession and also issues we face daily due to an improper healthcare system.

Talking about the book's composition, it was fascinating as the contents were well arranged and came in an orderly fashion, which gave room for a smooth and clear understanding. I loved the style the author used in writing some of the chapters. It was more like a heart-to-heart conversation, which is the most appropriate approach for impacting her audience. Generally, this book is appealing and very easy to comprehend.

However, my only dislike was the place where the photograph came in. I would say it was difficult to relate it to the particular story the author talked about. It would be more appropriate for the photographs to be placed with the particular story they relate to. This book was well-edited and error-free, and it deserves a rating of 4 out of 4 stars.

I would recommend this book to lovers of self-help and medical books. Medical students and professionals would also enjoy this book.
