“GET MORE FOR YOUR HEALTHCARE DOLLAR. LEARN HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN NO COST, PERSONAL IN-HOSPITAL NETWORK OF SUPPORT,

AND GET THE HOSPITAL CARE YOU DESERVE WHEN YOU NEED IT.”

Let an experienced healthcare professional

show you what hospitals are hiding

and ways to work around them

If you are like most people, entering a hospital is a lot like entering a foreign territory. The surroundings are unfamiliar, everyone speaks a different tongue, and the natives are suspicious of strangers.

If you are unfortunate to have to go there, the inhabitants sometimes either ignore you or treat you with complete indifference. If they make an effort to communicate, they talk to you like a child. If you ask for directions, they sometimes give you an answer even though they really don’t know the answer.

When you need help, you have a heck of a time figuring out who’s in charge. Who can guide you? Who can translate? Who can communicate on your behalf?

If something goes wrong, who will look after your best interests?

Hospitals don’t like to admit it and try to hide it, but anyone who has spent any time recently in a hospital knows the open secret of patient care: healthcare delivery is broken at the hospital bedside. Miscommunication is widespread, conflicts abound, and mistakes are common.

Even if 5 specialists are on your healthcare “team,” you may still have no idea what’s going on!

This is a guidebook to the foreign territory of contemporary healthcare delivery. I will be your guide. I translate the native tongue into a language you can understand and you will discover who among the inhabitants is really in charge of your care. You will learn who you can trust to communicate on your behalf and SAVE YOU MONEY.

Most importantly, you will find out who will look after your best interests if something should go wrong. You will learn how to solve problems without relying on lawyers.

For example, did you know you can win the full support of the President and CEO of the hospital without ever having to talk directly to him or her? I reveal THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON in the hospital who can get you what you want and you won’t even have to leave the hospital bedside. I share my experience and divulge secrets hospital administrators would rather you did not know!

Contemporary health care suffers from an decided lack of coordination and cooperation among healthcare professionals. With no one to treat the entire patient and coordinate care, patients and their families must often integrate their own care. This can cost you a lot of time and a lot of money.

You are largely left on your own to somehow piece together bits of information from different specialists and subspecialists on various organ systems in an attempt to get a more or less complete picture of the progress of the whole patient.

This can be very difficult to do in a hospital and extremely frustrating. I have repeatedly seen family members break down, not for fear of the health of a loved one, but because of miscommunication and unnecessary conflict between team and patient.

Thankfully, I have an easy-to-execute plan to help you save money, clear up problems of miscommunication, mediate and resolve conflicts, and deal with medical mistakes without having to rely on lawyers. You can fight for your rights and yet maintain good relations with your healthcare providers. Learn how to protect yourself from a violation of patient rights.

Through my easy-to-execute plan, you can build your very own in-hospital network of relationships with people who will get you the care you deserve when you need it. They will act as your intermediaries.

You won’t even have to leave the hospital bedside. Simply pick up the hospital phone at the bedside and dial the hospital operator to create your own in-hospital network of support. It’s that easy!

 

“This is a MUST read for any and all patients and/or their families.  As a physician, I have too often witnessed the fragmentation and communication problems that can occur in a hospital. This book provides a clear and practical guide on how to stay safe and address problems should they occur while you or a loved one are in the hospital. Until true health care reform occurs in the USA, this book will help people cope with the system as it is today. Physicians also need to read this book to better understand the patient’s perspective when they run into problems and be better prepared to answer their patient’s needs.”

“Dr. Meaney gets right to the heart of the most vital health care management problems. Mark offers just the right amount of essential information and background to enable we the people to protect our loved ones during hospitalization. As a fellow traveler on this particular path, I can say unequivocally that this book presents real know-how on how to untangle snafus and obtain quality care. Had I had this book during my father’s hospitalized demise during Spring 2005, it would have given me the leverage that might have saved his life.”

—Bart Windrum, author of  Dying to Know (and Why You Shouldn’t Wait That Long)

“Mark Meaney has written a readable, useful guide to enlisting both clinical and non-clinical hospital personal to help restore reason to medical care gone awry. This book will change the way you interact with your hospital. It could also save your life.”
