Healthcare Hurdles
You may be like I was. Too trusting.
In 2004, I found a golf-ball sized lump under the skin on my torso — just to the right of where my stomach is.
It really scared me …. so off I went to my family doctor who seemed perplexed, too. He sent me to a surgeon who removed that lump. It was no more of a hassle than having a tooth pulled, or getting stitches in your leg. Eight stitches later, home I went.
When I heard two weeks later that I had been diagnosed with a rare, aggressive and deadly form of lymphoma, I was completely blown away. Over the course of the next three months, I went from my very trusting, very reliant, relationship with my doctors, to my complete lack of distrust for the American healthcare system. Please note, that doesn’t say I distrust all the people who are part of it. No — it means that what I learned was that the system is set up to fail patients and it fails them every day.
Getting the attention one needs and the healthcare one deserves should be universal. Let me help you help yourself by making the Healthcare System work for you ...
