Beskrivelse

Healthcare advocate Edward G. Rogoff's Scary Diagnosis is an essential resource which enables patients to navigate the medical system to achieve the best outcome in confronting their diseases.



From his personal experience battling hemophilia for most of his life, Rogoff understands how challenging it is to cope not only with a life-threatening illness, but to receive quality healthcare in the United States' bureaucratic and complex medical system. With Americans living longer than ever before, the potential to develop chronic conditions, require surgeries, become disabled--and receive a scary diagnosis--increases. Learning you have cardiovascular issues, Parkinson's disease, or a form of cancer is life-altering, but Rogoff shows that you aren't just a patient defined by your illness. Armed with the right knowledge, a positive attitude, experienced doctors and a trustworthy team of family and friends, you can continue to live a life of dignity, purpose, and meaning while confronting your illness.



Scary Diagnosis offers the strategies patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals need to work together while dealing with fearful medical conditions. From selecting the right doctors and building a support team, to untangling the red tape of insurance and dealing with difficult hospitalizations, to maintaining a sense of humor and optimism, Rogoff's indispensable guide will help you advocate for yourself, so you receive the treatment and empathy you deserve.



Featuring true stories from people who have successfully managed both the medical system and their illnesses, Scary Diagnosis shows us that despite our vulnerability, we have the power and the agency to choose our best healthcare options to maintain our wellbeing and quality of life.
