"My Health Record" is a GREAT idea! I know it will help a lot of people."
Crystal Gayle, singer
"Excellent job!...The information you have organized in this manner will: improve health care, reduce unnecessary duplication of lab studies and X-rays, and expedite treatment decisions. Health care providers are cutting back personnel, thus getting vital medical record information from multiple sources is more difficult than ever. I wish more of my patients used your material!"
Dr. Jeffrey Long, oncology specialist
"This book is extremely useful to both the patient and the healthcare provider. The important medical information is readily available and well documented; this prevents relying on memory when someone is ill or injured. I, as a physician, highly recommend this book as an excellent method of personally documenting one's health record."
Marsha E. Goodhead, M.D., obstetrics & gynecology
"Highly recommended. A great tool to keep track of important medical data."
Blair K. Duddy, M.D., pediatrician
"This book is an excellent means for patients to keep track of their own medical illnesses. Very often patients are unaware or don't remember vital aspects of their own medical illnesses. I plan on using them for my own family's medical records."
Terri Hanlon, M.D., Board-Certified Emergency Medicine
"I am very impressed with this record-keeping book and agree that it is a wonderful way to keep a continuous health record on loved ones. I wish you much success with this very entrepreneurial idea!"
Jan Laverty Jones, former mayor, Las Vegas
"What a valuable tool Sandra Lewis has created. It is just the right size to carry along –whether traveling or just to the doctor's office. Our audience – the 50+ generation often depend on others for assistance and having a complete record for caregivers to refer to is a tremendous help and "My Health Record" does just that."
Carole Marks, Talk Show Host – Senior Focus
"My husband and I are in our mid-twenties. My husband's mother died over a year ago and when I asked my husband if he ever had certain childhood diseases, questions about his childhood health history, and even questions about his recent health history his answer was, 'You know, my mom once told me about that, but I don't remember what she said.'
His father had died at birth, so now my husband doesn't know anything about his family's health or if there are any pre-dispositions, etc. We now realize, more than ever, the significance of keeping these records and wish at that time we had a book available to us like My Health Record."

"Last month I called the pharmacy to renew a subscription I had been renewing for over six months. The pharmacist informed me that my insurance was denied. They would not renew my subscription and suggested that I contact the insurance company. I contacted them, and after they confirmed who I was and asked many questions that I had already been asked when I originally applied for insurance, they said, 'Okay Mr. Johnson, your information is back in the system. Our system dumped all of the data on our customers and we are having to re-input that information.' They assured me I was back in the system and I could now renew my prescription. Without the information I had been recording in My Health Record, I know it would have been much more difficult to give all the information the insurance company asked me that day to help rebuild their data base with information specific to me."
Ms. Johnson, Texas
"A few days before Halloween, I read an article in the newspaper about Hersheys mentioning that consumers would be seeing empty shelves in the grocery stores because of computer problems. It wasn't because they didn't have the candy, it was because their computer system crashed which controlled the shipping and they were unable to ship the candy. Later on that afternoon while walking into Smith's Grocery store, it was weird, the section for the Halloween candy had a top shelve which was empty and just below it was some Hershey candies. It looked just like the newspaper had mentioned. It confirmed for me the importance of using My Health Record for the sole reason why would anyone solely rely on computer-generated records of any kind – especially health records?"

What Are You Hiding from Your Doctor? You Unknowingly Keep Vital Information from Healthcare Providers
Do
you remember which ankle you twisted in a soccer game when you were 11
years old? How long ago was it when you had your last tetanus shot? If
you are like most Americans, you don't have the answers to these
important health questions. People may not realize they are doing it,
but they are keeping vital information from their healthcare providers.
"People are wasting money and risking their health by failing
to provide complete and accurate health care records, "Health records play a critical role
in patient care and diagnosis. It is essential that you have your
health records available at all times."
Even if you don't change
health care providers, it's likely that your provider's office won't
have your complete health history. Patient health care records belong to
physicians and clinics, not the patient. With more patients than filing
space, records are often destroyed after seven years—and sometimes in
as few as two years.
In the new book My Health Record—Help the Doctor Help You,
you learn to take a proactive role in your health care by maintaining
your own health history. The book enables you to avoid harmful
drug-interaction, remember regular check-ups, monitor chronic illnesses
and improve your overall quality of health care.
Sandra Lewis, author of "My Health Record" has often been referred to as a medical records expert. Through My Health Record
she hopes to save lives, alleviate pain, promote peace of mind and save
money worldwide for consumers, health care providers, insurance
companies and the government.
Give this life-saving gift to your loved ones, friends, mother of a newborn baby, or family of multiple births!
