Review of Surviving the Business of Healthcare
Surviving the Business of Healthcare is a book written by the great author Barbara Galutia Regis PA-C, from her well of experience in the health sector, which spans over 20 years as a health care provider. She talks about how our health care choices can affect our lives in the short term as well as the long term. She informs and educates us about the importance of treating our healthcare as a self-investment and how it influences other parts of our lives.
In this book, the author describes the healthcare system in the United States, and she encourages her readers to focus on how they personally manage and improve their health and wellness without expecting a savior to deliver them miraculously after they might have created health problems for themselves through ignorance and poor self-care decisions. The book focuses on and encourages us to not just visit healthcare providers anyhow but rather find one who listens, is willing to help us understand our body, and actually cares for us. She also suggests what we should look out for when selecting health care providers. She also talks about how the health care system in the United States of America needs to be improved and restructured, and many things surrounding the business of health care need to be improved. In this book, she exposes the importance of finding a specialist, as many people believe any doctor is capable of treating every ailment, and how we need to speak up at all times rather than blindly following any recommendations we don’t fully understand.
The book was written in such a way that I was able to understand exactly what she was thinking and talking about, even though I am not in the field of healthcare or medicine. I really enjoyed how she simplified medical terms, which would have been difficult to understand on a normal day. She also told us about her cancer situation, which made us view the book from both the perspective of an expert in the health care system and also a patient. She found a way to make us feel comfortable throughout the read without creating panic, while at the same time passing her information.
The book is very short and straight to the point, and I could not find anything negative about it. The book is exceptionally written and edited, and I will love to see more books like this, which do not focus on entertainment but impact and promote health and wellness.
I will rate this book five out of five stars, and I will recommend it to lovers of health care and anyone who wants to learn more about selecting health care options and protecting their lives.
