Review of Surviving the Business of Healthcare
[Following is a volunteer review of "Surviving the Business of Healthcare" by Barbara Galutia Regis PA-C.]
Barbara Regis is a physician assistant with an emphasis on comprehensive family care. When she found out she had amelanotic nodular melanoma, she realized she was no longer the caretaker but the patient. Regis was motivated to use her twenty years of medical education and experience to advocate for others so they might feel secure and have wonderful medical experiences. Barbara Galutia Regis writes Surviving the Business of Healthcare to educate and empower people to make wiser healthcare choices for themselves and their families.
The author's experiences indicate that medicine was considerably different from what it is today in the late 1960s, early 1970s, and early 1980s. Personality played a role. Before the appropriate intervention was made, healthcare was delivered in a much more hands-on manner, depending on the patient's history, physical examination, and prior medical history. Modern healthcare is built on innovation and cutting-edge technology. It is a company that operates for financial advantage. But are these new technologies capable of taking the place of a doctor and patient's one-on-one interaction? By bringing up the idea of changing the way we think about healthcare, Regis aims to spark fruitful discussions.
The deteriorating standard of medical care and research is succinctly summarized by Regis. She writes with a sentimental tone. In comparison to her father's more laid-back era, today's healthcare system compels us to be more prepared for medical emergencies. Right now, the focus is on finding the finest doctor, getting a good insurance policy, and arranging payment for medical procedures and prescription drugs. Dealing with all of these issues can be stressful. The author has made an effort to guide how her audience might make informed decisions.
I liked that the author provided a list of several insurance plans and healthcare organizations. I enjoyed the section that described how readers may save money by buying the appropriate generic drugs rather than the same pills from pharmacies at a greater cost. However, I should make it obvious that readers in the United States are the primary audience for this material. Other readers would be expected to take the initiative and investigate healthcare regulations in their nations.
The book had nothing in it that I didn't like. It receives a score of 5 out of 5. No grammatical errors could be found. Both the narration's pacing and the book's length were ideal. Reading this was entertaining and educational. Readers who want to keep up with evolving healthcare policies should read this book, in my opinion. The book will assist readers in maintaining their readiness for dealing with medical problems both financially and emotionally.
