Description: Take charge of your health and stop turning over your life to our confusing and intimidating healthcare system - before it's too late.  Dr. Erika Schwartz believes that today's patient is but a leaf blowing in the wind of group-think protocols, corrupt medical societies, insurance companies on the take, and billion dollars in marketing and lobbying pressure from drug companies. What is the quick fix? The answers are here in the ten clear chapters, giving examples every step of the way. It's a simple process that takes you, the patient, from being a victim to being in charge.   --Publisher's description.
