All this is for the back of the book: You have been led to believe that two things count when it comes to outcomes: the skills of our practitioners and the effectiveness of the treatments they provide. You don’t even factor yourself into the equation! But you certainly should. You would not want a mediocre doctor, so why be a so-so patient or a passive healthcare consumer? The more evolved and involved you are as a patient and consumer, the closer your healthcare will come to match your needs and your goals. The archetypical relationship we have with healthcare providers needs to be kicked to the curb; it is not in your best interests. You are often being shortchanged, and I intend to let you know why. Reviews This book makes you reflect on your health further and helps you “invest in prevention". It makes you bolder and more conscious of how to navigate the healthcare system. All in all, The Expert Patient is an eye-opener. Rebecca Dalal, Certified Nutritionist Practitioner It pays to be informed and proactive with our health. If your goal is to become a smarter healthcare consumer and be more actively involved in your personal wellness, then The Expert Patient is required reading. Offering practical tips, principles and guidelines, this book is an important, straightforward resource to navigating the path of self-advocacy. Kasandra Monid, Wellness Coach Once again, Dr. Thalia uses her experience, knowledge and research to give us the tools to take charge of our health. This is a gift. Thalia is an incredible researcher and brings forward a very balanced approach in her writings. Dr. Dana Colson DDS. MBA The expert patient is “expertly” written. Dr. Charney poses some thought-provoking questions that encourage one to change how they approach their health and retain some of the ‘power’ they have in influencing their own health and outcomes. Fotini Tina Konstantinou BSc. Clinical Biologist, Consultant of Oncology unit, Mitera Hospital, Athens, Greece. Very interesting read! The book is written for You. It is very personable and relatable. Tons of useful and innovative information.
