The goals of health and health care -- Obstacles and challenges -- Achieving your health goals.
Summary:
"It is important that each of us understand and be able to communicate our personal health goals in order to achieve and maintain good health and receive good health care. We all hope to avoid premature death and disability, participate in meaningful life activities, become stronger and more capable and adaptable, and ultimately experience a comfortable death. However, each of us defines these goals somewhat differently, and we differ in the strategies we are willing to choose to achieve them. In this book, the author, a primary care physician and teacher, uses case examples and practical advice to help readers clarify their health goals, understand the kinds of strategies likely to be most effective, and understand the health care system in order to get the help they need and avoid unnecessary tests and treatments."--Amazon.com.
