From viewing medicine as a team sport, to the author's experience going undercover as "Karen" to gain insight on the experience of attending a child birthing class, Tasting YOUR OWN Medicine: How to Advocate for Yourself in Healthcare Settings is a book meant to empower individuals to take control of their medical decisions and advocate for themselves in conversations with their health professionals. It includes research and narratives from people who have experienced the healthcare system as patients themselves or on behalf of loved ones, and from professionals working within the system, including some of the author's own personal experiences as a patient. Being inquisitive and curious about your care does not make you a bad patient. Providing patients with that voice both as a loved one and a health professional can be immensely valuable in their ultimate outcomes and benefit all parties involved. Tasting YOUR OWN Medicine is a nonfiction book that speaks to everyday adolescents and adults, trained patient advocates, and healthcare professionals who want to look at patient advocacy, empowerment, and support in a whole new way.
