Patient Confidential

About me

Gender	Male
Introduction	My book, "Patient Confidential, Tips and Advice To Keep You Safe As You Navigate the Healthcare System," gives practical advice from the patient perspective. I am a retired attorney, with a B.S. in English from Loyola University and a J.D., cum laude, from Northwestern University School of Law. Many of my closest friends are doctors. I met most of them through focusing my law practice on the business/legal needs of healthcare providers. Although I am not a doctor, or nurse, or therapist, or any kind of medical care provider, I am a frequent-flier patient. It started in earnest when I was twelve years old. I have had over thirty-five surgeries or invasive procedures and spent, in the aggregate, over sixty days in at least six hospitals and countless partial days in outpatient surgery settings.
