The critical accomplishment of this book lies in the sensitively-worded, yet powerful approach derived from real-world experience which extols the nature and beauty of partnership in caring for very ill patients. Whether we are talking about 100,000 deaths from medical errors, or the millions of adverse drug events that complicate patient care on a day-to-day basis, the solution comes down to communication. -John Langdon, MD

There are many books about medical errors, but this handbook gives patients and their loved ones ways to prevent them. It is a friendly guide to navigate a variety of possible encounters with healthcare professionals.
The specific tips in The Patient Survival Handbook empower the reader to become a more informed and active partner in preventing errors and in making better healthcare decisions. -Dawn Lipthrott, LCSW

This remarkable book looks at healthcare from the inside out by asking, “What does a patient need, and what can a patient and their supporters do to be sure they get it?” It’s an encyclopedic guide for anyone journeying through the labyrinth of 21st Century healthcare, and a great resource for healthcare organizations. -John Kenagy, MD, MPA, FACS – Clinical Professor of Surgery, University of Washington, Adjunct Professor of Pharmacy and Therapeutics, University of Pittsburgh, and author of Designed to Adapt: Leading Healthcare in Challenging Times
