If Only My Doctor Had Told Me…Your Rights as a Patient and the Law that Protects You

PASADENA, Calif. - Feb. 23, 2018 - PRLog -- Your doctor has the legal responsibility to explain every diagnosis, prescription side effect, and procedure to you in sufficient detail for you to make an educated decision on your treatment.

This is a law.

However, with doctors' visits running an average of 10 minutes, not counter pager, nurse, and phone interruptions, medical professionals can find it difficult to obey this law.

This is where you come in.  With iatrogenic deaths (deaths caused by accidental medical errors) coming in as the third most frequently reported cause of death in the United States, it makes sense for every patient to familiarize themselves with the law that protects them.

This book provides vital data on this law of Informed Consent and offers ways of the patient helping their doctor help them.

This law and the rights it reveals are vital to our health and well-being and the health of our entire medical system.

The book, If Only My Doctor Had Told Me… Your Rights as a Patient and the Law that Protects You explains this law, how it came about and how you can use it to protect your health and the health of those you love.

"The author of If Only My Doctor Had Told Me… Your Rights as a Patient and the Law that Protects Youwalks readers through the medical minefield, beginning with a detailed explanation of the rights of patients and Informed Consent. She then moves through the many alternative options available to people, options that in some cases used to be the norm before the pharmaceutical companies created a multi-billion dollar business."
- Book Reviewer

""If Only My Doctor Had Told Me" is a POWERFULLY ENLIGHTENING resource book. The author's style is highly readable. The topics she covers are all in-depth discussions of aspects of Informed Consent. I gained a knowledge of alternative and supplemental therapies that I had previously not given much credence to, but only because I was ignorant. Other chapters include the oaths and pledges taken by doctors, (it added a layer of knowledge to understand their codified relationships to patients and colleagues), interviews with a senior care specialist and a patient's right attorney, and a glossary of terms used throughout the book."  - Book Reviewer

This book is now available as an Ebook and in paperback from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and in the iBooks store.
