Welcome to my blog.
Why a blog? Mostly because I have time for it and I have a lot of very useful information to share.
Health problems took me out of the work force 4 years ago. Since then I have had to deal with doctors, nurses, therapists, insurance companies, clinics, government organizations, pharmacies and various others. I have learned a lot from all these dealing and am eager to share with everyone. Your own involvement in your health care can and will make you healthcare smart. You can get better care, better treatment and better value for your money.
Yes, I am a physician myself. No, I do not answer medical questions here or anywhere else. I am retired and out of the workforce. You should always ask your medical questions to your doctors. What I will do is tell you how to get the best out of that session. How to get your questions answered. What to do when you didn't understand what was said. So whereas I won't give you a medical opinion because I do not practice medicine any more, I will give you advice on how to approach your providers.
I welcome all questions and will answer them only publicly. I will post your question, anonymously, and give you my replies. This is to make sure everyone can derive benefit from reading. Feel free to comment, ask follow-up questions, start a debate.
Looking forward to lots of information exchange.
Be well!
Iris Johnson
