Achieving Your Personal Health Goals (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

It is important that each of us understand and communicate our personal health goals in order to maintain good health and receive good health care. We all hope to avoid premature death and disability, participate in meaningful life activities, become more capable and adaptable, and experience a comfortable death. However, each of us defines these goals differently, and we differ in the strategies we choose to achieve them. In this book, the author, a primary care physician and teacher, uses case examples and practical advice to help readers clarify their health goals, understand the kinds of strategies likely to be effective, and understand the health care system in order to get the help they need and avoid unnecessary tests and treatments. The book includes 16 chapters divided into 3 sections, The Goals of Health and Health Care, Obstacles and Challenges, and Achieving Your Health Goals. The first 14 chapters are followed by questions for contemplation or discussion. The book has 256 pages.
