Review of Surviving the Business of Healthcare
[Following is a volunteer review of "Surviving the Business of Healthcare" by Barbara Galutia Regis PA-C.]
Ironically, Barbara Galutia’s “Surviving the Business of Healthcare” packs a wallop. This book is presented by a doctor turned cancer patient and is a no-holds-barred guide that empowers readers from scattered patients and makes them players in an often harsh medical world.
Thus, the universal brilliance of Galutia is derived from the ability to switch between two opposite points of view. She takes apart the house of medicine, but in the process, she points out that the monetary discrepancies can be at odds with the health of the patient. From this privileged perception, the exposition turns into a Trojan Horse, arming the readers with the ability to fight for themselves. Informative yet devoid of medical terms and analysis paralysis, the book covers such issues as the insurance maze, the real cost of drugs, and the problematics of treatments available. The emphasis is on providing people with the necessary tools to voice their concerns, learn about their rights, and make the proper decisions regarding their health.
This is not a work that is confined within the business of the clinic, let alone the conceptual confines of doctoring as a profession. Being packed with practical knowledge and insights, it covers important screening processes, such as how to select a proper primary care provider as well as how to prepare for the financial aspects of an emergency or an unexpected sickness. This makes it possible for readers to become more than passive spectators in matters that concern their health, but active participants. The book is not shy about portraying the difficult realities of the management position. Other potential problems of healthcare practiced by Galutia include insurance companies taking advantage of the patient and falling into the trap of putting profit before the health of the patient. However, the tone is one of extreme positivity, providing strategies and tools to overcome these issues, all learned through real-life experience.
‘Surviving the Business of Healthcare’ is a valuable tool for anyone who wishes to be wiser about the business side of healthcare and grasp its power; nevertheless, it should not be viewed as a substitute for medical consultation. People interested in detailed information about particular ailments might have to use other sources, which may focus on given foods. Recommendations for this book will have a 5 out of 5 star rating. As for the editing, there were no flaws at all, and it was well done. And to its credit, there was nothing that one could dislike. ‘Surviving the Business of Healthcare', so let me tell you here in advance that it is... compelling. Through a first-hand patient story, as told by a doctor, Galutia arms readers with tools and peace of mind on how to maneuver the healthcare terrain in today’s world. Receive this book with open arms if you are interested in regaining control of your health and winning the battle in the medical theater.
