    Patient advocacy: "When a person develops serious illness there is so much to consider beyond what the doctor recommends regarding treatment - issues of family, work, insurance, disability, transportation and more can quickly become overwhelming, making a difficult situation appear insurmountable. But it doesn't have to be that way - working with well-trained, well-informed patient advocates can help people navigate the maze of health-related issues in a way that supports peace, balance, and the opportunity for optimal healing to take place." This book will help you become your own patient advocate.
