{"product_id":"your-health-your-decisions-robert-alan-mcnutt-9781469683584","title":"Your Health, Your Decisions: How to Work with Your Doctor to Become a Knowledge-Powered Patient","description":"In 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 health-care 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Alan McNutt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 146968358X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469683584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Robert Alan McNutt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44919737483519,"sku":"9781469683584","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_809f12d6-be1f-439e-9823-03b95b6a167f.jpg?v=1710359299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/your-health-your-decisions-robert-alan-mcnutt-9781469683584","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
