Legal Stuff
I have come to realize that most of us (and certainly society in general) don't understand or do they agree upon most issues related to illness and health. The result for us patients is that the lines often blur between our taking some personal responsibility, and the desire to find someone or something to blame when things go wrong. I started out that way myself. My book, and this website, are not only about each one of us taking some personal responsibility for one's own health and wellness, but about becoming intimately involved in making informed and pro-active decisions. By that I mean being as fully engaged personally in our treatment, care and recovery as possible.
