You go to your doctor with a nasty cough. The doctor says you need a many-syllable medicine. You trust your doctor's knowledge, but the cost of the pills is astronomical. What can you do? <br> Dr. Miller presents this and many other true-to-life dilemmas that you, the patient, face when you enter the healthcare system. This book prepares you to join in a partnership with your doctor, a collaboration that can decrease the cost of healthcare while in many cases actually improving the quality of care. <br> The author also reflects on the principles that have guided him as a doctor and human being. These principles were honed by his varied experiences over a lifetime in medical practice and living overseas where he became personally acquainted with many dedicated people, including Mother Teresa. A separate chapter discusses how the Amish, who don't buy insurance, cope with the high cost of healthcare. <p> "Glen Miller, through the power of stories, reminds us of the importance of relationships and personal choices. The book is an inspiring contribution to the healthcare discussion."<br> Evan Bontrager, Vice President, Insurance Products, Mennonite Mutual Aid <p> "Dr. Miller describes a new, emerging relationship between healthcare consumers and providers. I believe this work should be read and implemented by both groups."<br> Sam Showalter, M.D., Executive Secretary, Mennonite Medical Association <p> Glen E.
