Advocate for Yourself! Stand Up & Speak Up with Debby Montgomery Johnson and Tab Calvitti

Doctors...Lawyers...More Doctors and all because of a fall on the ice.  Medical malpractice, maybe...legal loopholes, maybe...bottom line  after 4 back surgeries Tab Calvitti needed to become a Patient Advocate for herself and it took years to learn HOW to Stand Up & Speak Up for herself.  She knew she wanted to live life again just like she did "Before The Fall" but now doctors didn't want to operate.  What do we need to know about medical summaries, requesting medical records, HIPAA rules, and asking questions before it's too late.  Tim McGuinness, PhD, and Founder of The Society of Citizens Against Relationship Scams (SCAR)joined us and his previous work in drafting HIPAA regulations gave great insight into what doctors and hospitals are required to give us after medical procedures. *Disclaimer, we are not physicians/lawyers but we all are PATIENTS and we have rights!*
