This book is for patients and family members who find themselves in the confusing confines of a hospital environment. With a clear and concise approach, HOSPITAL STAY explains the major, often confusing, elements of a hospital visit. Our hope is that it will help relieve uncertainty and reduce stress, freeing patients to focus their energies on getting better.

Written in layman's terms by doctors and a hospital administrator, HOSPITAL STAY demystifies the concerns that crop up when one is in need of ongoing medical attention. Each chapter highlights a facet of the hospital experience--from admission to procedures, discharge, billing, and insurance--shedding light on the questions and concerns that arise from any hospital stay.

By laying out what a patient might expect in simple terms, HOSPITAL STAY helps familiarize everyone involved with the situation, removing the anxiety and confusion so often generated by sudden illness. In this way, family members are afforded peace of mind, and patients are better able to focus on themselves.
