Do you believe that patients today still receive the same level of care as they did decades ago, given the constantly expanding population and the changing world? You already have the solution. The finest analysis of the current state of the healthcare industry may be found in Surviving the Business of Healthcare by Barbara Galutia Regis, which she refers to as "a unique perspective." She feels she has a good understanding of what patients go through on a daily basis because she is both a family practice practitioner and a cancer patient. She clarifies a lot, especially in comparison to what transpired during her dad's day and more recently. She delves deeply into the "business" that has occurred over time, particularly in light of the current circumstance when the focus has abruptly shifted from a patient-centered approach to one that is more business-oriented. She handles everything pertaining to finances, appointments, therapy, and even aftercare. Many people are living without insurance because they are unable to afford the premiums, which prevents them from receiving the best medical care.

The author does wonderful work. She takes everything connected so seriously because she is personally involved in the healthcare industry. The book was more relatable because it included scenarios. She mostly spoke about stuff with which we are already familiar. She presents a clear picture of people who, due to financial constraints, cannot obtain healthcare and, if they do, are forced into poverty due to the high cost of it. How well do the professionals treat the patients? Modern doctors frequently rush to diagnose the patient before establishing a positive environment and rapport with her. Patients frequently feel undervalued. The most fascinating and thought-provoking reading was this one.

I had no issues with this book. It's challenging to get opinions from healthcare professionals who are prepared to guide the populace in making wise choices and getting them back on track. I appreciate how the author emphasizes the emergency plan. Because they never contemplate an emergency until it occurs, most individuals do not give it any thought. I learned a lot from that. For an emergency plan, she even provided a checklist.

I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Because the author's work is so great and delightful to read, I am unable to take away a star. The absence of typos or grammatical mistakes indicates that the work was professionally edited. What an interesting read!

I recommend this book to healthcare advocates, caregivers, and patients. This will be enjoyable for those who are inspired to be practitioners. not to mention that everyone else needs to read this. There is a wealth of knowledge available that can help one choose the finest options and make the greatest choices for their health and future aspirations.
