Five Key Questions You Should Be Asking Concerning Your Health Care

Have you thought to ask these questions regarding your healthcare? Dr.Weinstock has dedicated complete chapters to these (and more) five critical questions:

* How and where do I find good medical care?

* What is the best way to choose a physician?

* How do I manage my expectations and when should I be saying more than 'Ahhhh'?

* What is the reality and what is the myth of prevention? * If I am unhappy with my doctor, what options do I have?

Gleaned from newspaper columns that Dr. Weinstock has written, I've Been Thinking is an easy-to-read patients handbook that offers both education and self-advocacy. As a health care management specialist, Dr. Weinstock knows the right questions to ask, and the right buttons to push. I've Been Thinking is more than just a general guidebook and in reality is divided into two parts whereas the first part is a general overview of the healthcare system, the second part is specific to Dr. Weinstock s ophthalmology specialty and imparts a thorough understanding of how important superior eye-care is and the questions that should be asked of eye-care specialists. I've Been Thinking will get you thinking. But more importantly it might save your life!
