If youve watched a TV show with a hospital setting you might have a notion albeit exaggerated of how the interactions between patients and doctors can create dramatic scenarios

A new book written by a doctornurse couple says similar dramas are playing out in real life It warns of how we should be concerned about the lack of quality care that patients can receive in hospitals

Hospital Battlefield A Field Manual For Survival written by Lynne and Joseph Golonka explains that inside knowledge and a lot of questioning will go a long way toward improving health care in the US

While being critical of hospitals to the point of receiving their fair share of backlash from the medical establishment the Golonkas are quick to stress that the power to make change begins with the patient

The real enemy she says is illness The book gives practical advice to help patients avoid hospital errors and infections and ensure a quick and safe recovery

The going into battle metaphor is not intended to pit patients against doctors and nurses in a warlike fashion the authors explain But it does convey the urgency of survival within an imperfect system

Chapters titled Securing Allies and Chain of Command are not difficult to equate with possible traps and troubles in hospitals But the selfhelp guide is also peppered with medicalthemed cartoons for a tongueincheek approach to some of the challenges patients face along the way

Ultimately the book presents a realistic view of hospital health care and cites a surprising 1999 study as the basis of its argument As many as 98000 die in hospitals each year as a result of serious medical errors according to the Institute of Medicine

The Golonkas say that progress to improve the hospital system has been slow and therefore they urge patients and families to be ready for battle
