The Patient’s Survival Guide: Seven Key Questions for Navigating the Medical Maze

In the US medical environment where medical mistakes, over-diagnosis, and over-treatment have become the third leading cause of death, leadership consultant and long-time charity CEO Edward Morgan argues that protecting yourself with medical wisdom can add 10-15 years to your life.

We’re a nation on meds, where 60% of adults are now diagnosed with some chronic condition. We’re listening to unwise advice and becoming permanent patients.

Longevity is declining in America, even though medical costs in the US are twice that of other developed nations. Don’t get caught in medical misadventures that escalate into permanent conditions, screenings that cascade into fear-driven decisions, prescriptions that simply suppress symptoms, or worst of all, end up dying in an ICU in the vain hope for a few more days.

Smart is not the same as wise. Medical wisdom and discernment will extend your life. Taking today’s aggressive, profit-driven advice will quite possibly shorten it. Living to see your grandchildren grow up is your responsibility, not your doctor’s. This is a must read for anyone already feeling like a patient for life. With courage and wisdom you can become a well person again and live out your full lifespan.

A Pediatrician’s Journal

A Pediatrician’s Journal: Caring for Kids in our Broken Medical System is a first-of-its-kind book examining the glaring inadequacies of the health care system in our world. Written by award-winning pediatrician Dr. Brian G. Orr, this book brings to the forefront the myriad issues plaguing modern medicine. Dr. Orr offers compelling evidence through his personal and professional experiences that the system is truly broken and in need of change. The stories in A Pediatrician’s Journal convincingly guide readers towards forming their own vision and realization of a more enlightened healthcare system.

Tapping into the richness of his experiences practicing medicine in the United States and overseas, Dr. Orr’s accounts in A Pediatrician’s Journal are full of compassion and conviction, strength and vulnerability and bring the reader along on an amazing journey with a behind the scenes and very candid look at the world of medicine. Real-life stories and experiences of every-day families spanning the globe from villages in third world countries like Honduras and Guatemala to the suburbs of Boston will cause the reader to reexamine the way they look at their own healthcare system and provide them with a renewed sense of what is truly important in healthcare: the connection with their doctor.

Professionals and families in the healthcare system today are seeking a more meaningful and positive way to recreate and redefine what medicine is today and how it influences their lives. A Pediatrician’s Journal is the groundbreaking book that shows them the way.
