Our health care system is one of the best in the world, it is also one of the most confusing and fragmented. Medical research and technology has increased our treatment options and health care reform is changing access to care, but did you know, one in five Americans have experienced a medical error? Learn the lingo and communication techniques to effectively speak with your medical providers both at the doctors office and in the hospital. Develop life saving strategies for when you or your loved one is hospitalized! Knowledge is power!
