"The first book that addresses the non-medical issues from the perspective of patients and families."
Book Description
Scleroderma is a highly individualized disease. Medical issues and treatments can vary greatly from one patient to another. Yet all patients must face a remarkably similar range of non-medical issues, such as:
Determining their role as a patient;
How to find the right doctor;
Understanding insurance issues;
Pros and cons of alternative medicine;
Family & caregiving issues;
The purpose of this book is to reduce the time and energy spent learning about these issues so that the patient can get on with what truly matters:
Making the most of their medical choices
