There is now a free sample chapter of my new book, 7 Steps to Your Best Possible Healthcare available for download at www.7stepshealth.com.

In this downloadable sample chapter I discuss how one of the keys to good healthcare is planning ahead and building a healthcare team. Your two most important team members are your primary care physician (PCP) and your medical mentor. You will find out how to select a PCP, determine the role your PCP should play, and how to maintain an effective relationship. You will also find out what a medical mentor is and how they can help you with acute or long term health challenges. You will also find out how to be a medical mentor yourself. By combining common sense explanations and tips for building your healthcare team along with real life patient stories, this sample chapter provides a strong base for anyone interested in personal health planning.
