    About this ebook

    The realities of American health care, 2009: Less personal medical attention due to cost-cutting and regulation. A 40 percent national misdiagnosis rate, per recent surveys. A critical need for people to take responsibility for their own care. Targeting these issues, author Lisa Hall—whose debilitating condition took nearly ten years to properly diagnose—offers a wide variety of practical resources to empower patients. Hall’s experience is buttressed by the expertise of internal-medicine doctor Ronald Wyatt, a fellow of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. Readers will find valuable guidance on how tofind the right kind of doctor, check physician credentials, and increase benefits of office visits; maximize Internet research; navigate medical insurance, Medicare, workers’ compensation, and Social Security disability; reduce vulnerability to hospital mistakes; and organize medical records. The author encourages readers to move forward step by step—and to look back and see God’s plan taking shape through the difficulties.

      We’re More of Ourselves When We’re in Tune with Others

      Jul 25, 2019

      When musicians have chemistry, we can feel it. There’s something special among them that’s missing when they perform alone. Anyone who’s heard a Mick Jagger solo album knows that’s the case. Clearly nature wants us to jam together and take flight out

      I was naked. So was Laura,” begins one dream of the more than 20,000 collected in G. William Domhoff’s DreamBank. “I was re-stringing an unvarnished electric bass, so I guess it was naked, too. At one point I put a screw in to secure a string, but th

      INTERBEING IS A TERM INVENTED by Thich Nhat Hanh to describe the profound interconnectedness of all things: that nothing can exist by itself alone; it can only ever inter-be with everything else. So when in Buddhism we speak of “no self” or “emptines
