Sick of doctors? Find out what you CAN do!

If you've ever experienced watching yourself or a loved one go through the medical system, you know it can be a scary proposition. In today's "get 'em in and get 'em out" there is a lot that can go wrong.

Sadly, many people have not recognized the need to empower themselves when it comes to being their own advocate. In the case of many boomers we are finding it more and more necessary to advocate on behalf of one, or both, parents.

To think that a patient doesn't need an advocate is akin to the Ostrich with its head stuck in the sand. You may not notice there's a problem, but it's there nonetheless.

So what can be done?

Author Lorene Burkhart educates consumers from the patients perspective on how to make sure you get the best care possible.

In "Sick of Doctors? Then Do Something About It!" Ms. Burkhart gives you practical advice on how to handle the expected and the unexpected concerns in today's healthcare challenges.

When life offers second chances....take them

Life sometimes offers us a second chance to right our wrongs. Those second chances often come disguised as tragedy waiting to be recognized as a miracle.

Such was the case 20 years ago. Life was great and I didn’t think anything could change it, until I received a call late one night about a month into my new job from my brother-in-law saying that if I wanted to see my father alive, I had better come quickly. He had suffered a major heart attack and was in a coma. The doctors didn’t think he would make it through the night.

I thought of nothing but getting to my dad’s bedside. In that moment much of what I had believed to be important became insignificant, including the new broadcast job I had recently landed.

I drove two hours in a fog of tears and regret. The tears were for the thought of never seeing my dad alive again, and the regret was for the many times I didn’t take the opportunity to tell him the important things in life like, “I love you.” As I drove through the night I vowed that if I was given another chance, I would never miss the opportunity again.
