Review of Surviving the Business of Healthcare
"Surviving the Business of Healthcare" should be read and utilized by anyone who is to embark on the business of seeking healthcare in today's world. Barbara Galutia Regis PA-C takes readers through her own passion, practice, and teary narratives, giving the book a richness seldom seen in the field of healthcare. Regis tells about her experience of childhood in a small town where her father was one of the two doctors in town. Watching her father create an organization focused on the patient, affordably providing doctors to those that could not otherwise reach them inspired her to become a physician assistant.
I did not dislike anything in this book. The length was perfect for slow and fast readers. This is one of the few books where I read about complex topics such as types of health insurance, cheap drugs, and doctor-patient relationships, yet I understand everything in the book. The author explained everything in simple language. She shares with the audience her own thoughts on the topic of health insurance and tells the story of how she suffered from amelanotic nodular melanoma. It would seem insurance saved her from a ruined state; hence, in agreement with her, people must protect themselves through health insurance. She also guides readers through some of the darker aspects of healthcare, including what some caregivers may do to their charges. And she gives pointers on how to spot such possibilities and avoid them in order to help readers take charge of their treatment. Her recommendations about where to obtain cheap medications are both sound and comprehensive in terms of other pharmacies and Web sites that may provide similar prescription medicine at predetermined discounted rates. I didn't see any errors in this book. This book was well written and edited.
The fact that Surviving the Business of Healthcare offers practical suggestions as well as personal narratives probably adds to the books value. Everyone will find this book inspiring because it is not only for the chronically ill, elderly, or those in a state of jeopardy; it is for anyone, anywhere, and anyone desiring to live healthily. Including straightforward descriptions and examples from everyday practice, the book is quite entertaining as well as highly insightful. This book is positively useful for anyone seeking guidance on how to manage themselves in today’s health care system. This book deserves 5 out of 5 stars.
