Publisher's Synopsis

The Patient's Playbook is a call to action-to change the way you manage your health and the health of your family. 

Too many Americans die each year as a result of preventable medical error-mistakes, complications, and misdiagnoses. And many more of us are not receiving the best care possible, because we don't know how to get it.


Leslie D. Michelson, the founder, chairman, and CEO of Private Health Management, and former CEO of the Prostate Cancer Foundation, has devoted his life's work to helping people achieve superior medical outcomes at every stage of their lives. His real-life stories impart lessons and illuminate easy-to-follow strategies that will enable you to become a smarter, better health care consumer-and to replace anxiety with confidence.
