“Being an Empowered Patient: An Advocacy Guide is a rare and welcome resource at this critical point in the transformation of our healthcare system. Why has no one written this book before? Patients and treating physicians alike will gain both reassurance and inspiration from a book that enables persons in treatment to become informed, focused, full-fledged members of the clinical team. Dr. Balfour covers it all- from basic medical knowledge to medical visits to insurance and beyond- in a thorough, stepwise, accessible fashion. This is a must-read for patients as they progress from treatment to recovery.”
