The Empowered Patient

Posted 12/3/2010

A new book shows patients how to take charge of their own health care.

(NAPSI) - Having decided to become a better health care consumer, 76-year-old author Lorene M. Burkhart is sharing her research and insights in a new book called “Sick of Doctors? Then Do Something About It! A Prescription for Patient Empowerment.”

Burkhart explains, “We’re all patients from the time we’re born until the time we die. The question is, how will we manage our own health and health care in between? I choose to be empowered and hope others will, too.”

Five years of research and countless interviews with patients, physicians, nurses and other medical professionals led up to writing this easy-to-read text, from which Burkhart hopes readers will become empowered patients.

The softcover book from Curtis Publishing is at www.SickOfDocs.com/store. The e-book is at Amazon, Sony or iTunes.
