Paperback. Condition: Good. Every one of us has experienced health care, but too many times, the experience has not been good. Perhaps our records have been lost or the physician is rushed and abrupt, spending more time looking at the computer than talking to us. Perhaps we are made to get tests we don't need or treatments that aren't fully explained, treatments we might not have gotten if we'd been fully informed about risks, benefits, and alternatives. And then we get an incomprehensible bill - usually, many different bills - that leaves us confused, frustrated, and in the worst cases, looking at a dire personal financial crisis. Why is that? Why, when the U.S. spends more on health care than any country in the world, can't we get it right? In Unraveled, physicians William B. Weeks and James N. Weinstein look at the health care experience through the eyes of patients and prescribe practical, effective remedies for a dysfunctional system. They offer simple steps that patients can take now to ensure that their care is effective, efficient, and satisfying, and that they have the information necessary to make the best health care decisions for themselves and their families. With easy-to-understand language and real-life examples, they explain how and why the health system works as it does, and what we can do to fix it. And they give a glimpse of a not-too-distant future where care will be built around the needs of the patients and delivered conveniently, seamlessly, with greater effectiveness and at lower cost. It's a future that offers greater satisfaction for patients AND for their providers, many of whom now feel trapped by an overly complex, bureaucratic system that robs them of the joy they once experienced in caring for patients. The Affordable Care Act provided millions with access to health care. Unraveled tells us how we can take the next steps to make health care work for all of us.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Every morning, more than 50 million Americans wake up to another day in pain. If you are one of them, you know the way chronic pain can take over your life: the lost work and missed pleasures, the harsh drugs or surgeries, the feelings of anger and frustration, the endless search from doctor to doctor. It doesn't have to be that way. This remarkable book, by one of the leading pain specialists in America, puts in your hands the resources usually available only at the most sophisticated pain clinics. Recent research has shown that the solution to the puzzle of pain is almost never one "magic bullet" treatment. What works is a combination of therapies--often three or more--customized to your individual needs. Some drugs or surgeries can actually make your condition worse, while surprisingly gentle alternative therapies can provide measurable, lasting relief. The key is knowing how to combine the best of both conventional and alternative medicine. Dr. James Dillard offers you what few physicians today are trained to provide: * fascinating new information on how pain affects your body and mind--including six myths that can keep you from healing * a detailed guide to more than 40 treatment methods, from state-of-the-art microsurgery and pharmaceuticals to acupuncture, yoga, and biofeedback * individual chapters on the 12 most common types of pain, from arthritis and back pain to fibromyalgia and migraines--clearly indicating what works and what to avoid * The Pain-Control Diet--and 20 top supplements for pain relief * how to build your pain-management team and get what you need from your insurance company * checklists, self-evaluations, and guides for tracking treatment * special chapters on children, seniors, pregnant women, terminal pain--plus how you can help a loved one in pain You can take back your life from pain. The Chronic Pain Solution will guide you every step of the way.…
