The Patient s Advocate answers a vital need. The author, a
registered nurse, has witnessed the physical, mental, and
financial stress encountered by patients entering the
unfamiliar world of the hospital. Here she offers essential
information you need to be a "professional" patient--one
who can make informed decisions in a confusing and often
hostile environment. In a concise, highly readable style
highlighted by anecdotes from her professional experience,
the author explains:
~ the importance of having an advocate--a close friend or
family member who can ask intelligent questions, lend
emotional support, and safeguard your rights when you are
top ill to do so yourself;
~ the day-to-day routine of a hospital--what to expect, and
when, from admissions to discharge day;
~ how to make sure you will have a good room, proper diet
and medication, and attention and respect from the staff;
~ how to guard against mistaken diagnoses, redundant tests,
excessive costs, and unnecessary surgery;
~ the language of charts, prescriptions, and medical jargon;
~ your legal rights and responsibilities;
~ how to make your way through the welter of paperwork
that follows a hospital stay.
A definitive guide to playing and surviving "the hospitaliza-
tion game," The Patient s Advocate is a source of information
and reassuring advice when you or someone close to you
needs it most.
