• Patient Empowerment 101 (Author Interview)

     https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN2GZJNL/Patient Empowerment 101 looks like a fantastic guide.  Can you tell us a little about it?Absolutely. Patient Empowerment 101 is not just a book, it’s an adventure! I purposely wrote the book in a conversation tone, interjecting humor here and there, to make readers feel like they were just talking to a friend who happens to be a physician. In the book, I give a wealth of practical, actionable tips to help people partner in their healthcare while they lower their healthcare costs. Readers learn how to communicate with physicians on an unprecedented level. When they develop common symptoms, such as abdominal pain or a respiratory infection, they can reach for the book to learn the common questions doctors ask for these symptoms.I teach them how to prepare for each doctor’s visit in advance. In addition, they are taught essential information about the various types of health insurance. One of the most significant parts of the book is that it teaches how to create a personal copy of health records. It goes into detail about how to optimize your safety whenever hospitalized. Technology in healthcare and patient advocacy round up the book. It ends with 3 appendices; common medical tests and terms doctors use to discuss results, a glossary of common medical terms (with a pronunciation key), and a list of common medical abbreviations. Last, but certainly not least, readers are given access to a website created just for them. They can download fillable charts, take self-assessment quizzes, and watch quick empowerment videos featuring life-life characters. How long did it take you to write Patient Empowerment 101?I actually wrote and published part of the book over 20 years, ago. But, at that time people were not very interested in empowering themselves. Doctors basically told them what to do and they usually didn’t question it. They either followed the instructions or they didn’t. Now, people have become far more interested in being true partners in their healthcare. So, I updated some sections and add new information over the course of several months. What inspired the idea for your book?I knew that when given the right tools, patients could play an enormous role in their own health care. We go to medical school, but patients don’t have a patient school. They just need to be taught basic concepts we use day in and day out, but there was no clear way for them to obtain this information. I have seen an enormous amount of suffering and untold wasted healthcare dollars due to lack of simple information. I just wanted to help people understand how vital their role in their own care could and should be. How did you come up with the title to your book?The goal is to empower everyday people with invaluable tools to help them play a more active role in their healthcare. In undergraduate school, the courses ending in 101 were the foundation for a given subject. Such is the case with Pati... Readmore

  • When Cherry Blossoms Bloom (Author Interview)

     https://a.co/d/9pVDBm9When Cherry Blossoms Bloom looks like a great guide.  Can you tell us a little about it?Thanks. I wrote this book for people dealing with a life-limiting or terminal illness. There are many books written for survivors of loss but not many for the person actually living through the illness.Oftentimes, we focus on the diagnosis and forget about the person suffering from the illness. We don’t realize that they are grieving too. They too experience the grief stages during the course of the illness. Shock and denial at the diagnosis. There is a feeling of fear and anger at what the illness could potentially do to them. They grieve every time they lose a body function or ability. They have bouts of depression and even thoughts of suicide depending on the disease until they get to the point of acceptance… hopefully. Once that happens, they decide to make the most of their lives regardless of the outcome.Also, I wanted them to know it’s ok to speak up and get the support they need. They don’t have to focus solely on their families. Because this can add stress to their lives and negatively impact their health. I also have a section called “Notes to Family." This was written to encourage family and friends to focus more on their loved ones while they are still with them.How long did it take you to write When Cherry Blossoms Bloom?I started writing this book in 2016. I had to really think about what I wanted to share and how to share it.What inspired you when writing When Cherry Blossoms Bloom?I’ve always worked with people through volunteering in a hospital, hospice, or working in pastoral care. It was rewarding to volunteer but also heartbreaking when I saw someone's fear and sadness. Hospice was an experience that showed me just how vulnerable people are when dealing with an illness. This was because of the lack of support and understanding families had in caring for them. It wasn’t that some families didn’t care, they were either consumed by their grief or absent altogether.However, through my own experience with my father’s cancer, and seeing how he was more concerned about my sister and me than himself, I knew that shouldn’t be the case. So, I checked my feelings when talking to him. My moments of sadness could wait until I was by myself and I had friends I could lean on. His illness taught me so much and I’m thankful that he is still with us.Also, from my own experience in dealing with my health challenges. No terminal illness, but I did experience some changes and changes that permanently altered my life. This is what gave me another level of understanding. It was easy for me to act like everything was ok even when it wasn’t. In my view, it is a coping mechanism that adds more stress and pressure while taking away support that is much needed.How did you come up with the title for your book?In Japan, cherry blossoms represent spring and renewal but they also are symbolic of the ...
