From registered nurse and public health advocate Sana Goldberg, RN, a timely, accessible, and comprehensive handbook to navigating common medical situations. From the routine to the unexpected, How to Be a Patient is your ultimate guide to better healthcare.
Did you know that patients have statistically better outcomes when their surgeon is female? That you can mark-up an informed consent sheet before you sign it, or get second opinions on CTs and MRIs? That there’s a blue book for healthcare procedures, or an algorithm to decide between ER, Urgent Care, and waiting-until-Monday?
In How to Be a Patient, nurse and public health advocate Sana Goldberg walks readers through the complicated and uncertain medical landscape, illuminating a path to better care.
Warm and disarmingly honest, Goldberg’s advice is as expert as it is accessible. In the face of an epidemic of brusque, impersonal care she empowers readers with the information and tools to come to good decisions with their providers and sidestep the challenging realities of modern medicine.
With sections like When All is Well, When It’s An Emergency, When It’s Your Person, and When You Have to Stand Up to the Industry, along with appendices to help track family history, avoid pointless medical tests, and choose when and where to undergo a procedure, How to Be a Patient is an invaluable and essential guide for a new generation of patients.

"I ordered this book after listening to the author, Sana Goldberg, speak on the Brian Lehrer Show. How to Be a Patient is an invaluable book for any individual looking to take ownership of their heath care, or how to be a better advocate for a family member or loved one. Every page is full of wisdom and practical advice, and the chapters are very readable. I will be buying more books for family and friends!"

- I am not an avid reader. Rarely will you see me leisurely walking the aisles of a book store.Notwithstanding,this book caught my eye. Im now in my 70's a diabetic and concerned about intimidating health issues im likely to encounter. This book is well researched and crossed referrenced by a nurse/scholar who happens to be a gifted writer A surprisingly interesting tome in its own right, it's the proverbial compass that we all will need down the road. Good book!
a valuable compass I will need - I highly recommend this book for everyone sick or well, young or old. It changed both my big picture philosophy of approaching health care as a whole as well as the nuts and bolts of each encounter. I used tools learned from this book within weeks of reading it and I am confident that I will continue to reference it for years to come.
