SUSAN WRIGHT, author, trainer, licensed therapist-healer. and social activist, that is, until the day I suddenly became a managed care patient, lost my identity, and became nothing more than a machine with faulty parts that needed fixing. This book might just as easily have been titled How I Saved My Life, or Sorry Folks, No More Family Doctor. Instead, it is a true story about what it is like to be a seriously ill patient in a business run by private insurance companies, focused on cost containment, where medical personnel are salaried employees paid a set fee per patient, all of whom are assigned to a common pool after their medical histories are taken by a group of priority care doctors, each of whom carries caseloads of as many as 2000 patients. It’s no wonder we have been sidelined, and computerized. The fact is that our emotional and physical needs are two sides of the same human being. Treating one and not the other is bad medicine.visualizza meno
