{"product_id":"book-bv49","title":"Your Health, Your Decisions","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn nearly every medical-decision-making encounter, the physician is at the center of the discussion, with the patient the recipient of the physician's decisions. Dr. Robert Alan McNutt starts from a very different premise: the patient should be at the center. McNutt challenges the physician-directed, medical-expertise model of making decisions, presenting a practical approach augmented by formal exercises designed to give patients the tools and confidence to compare and contrast their healthcare options so they can make their own choices. He addresses a number of scenarios, including heart disease, breast cancer, and prostate cancer-conditions that pose a range of choices that patients may face about diagnoses and treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter providing a clear explanation of what is the highest quality medical-decision-making information, McNutt teaches patients to use that information to weigh the harms and benefits of their treatment options, empowering them to ask critical questions as they take a stronger hand in their own care. \u003ci\u003eYour Health, Your Decisions\u003c\/i\u003e moves from specific scenarios that commonly baffle patients to a systematic exploration of how to make medical decisions. By offering patients the tools they need to be full partners in their own health care, McNutt demystifies what can be a bewildering and even terrifying process.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49295080653104,"sku":"BDbv49","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49295080685872,"sku":"ZEbv49","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49295080718640,"sku":"ZMbv49","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/bv49-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775805190","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-bv49","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
