Price: $15.55 "Essential Information; Deficient Organization" - By Garvin McCurdy
This self-published book is written by the newly retired CEO of Kaiser Permanente Healthcare, perhaps the leading healthcare insurer in the U.S. with a solid record in working for healthcare that is both medically effective and (relatively) economical. He is an expert and knows the field backwards and forwards. His input is a must for anyone seriously interested in the economic motivations of the player businesses in healthcare. It all seems to be there, but it must be dug out topic by topic. His theme seems to be: build a system in which the profit motive works for the patient, not for all the disparate players in the field, but that frequently gets lost in the jargon of his trade.
But he has been a successful boss for a long time and does not seem accustomed to writing for a lay readership. Or perhaps ... full review(7) -

List Price: $18.95 Price: $15.86 You Save: $3.09 (16%) "The healthcare, financial, and legal challenges presented by ..." - By Charles Lamont
The healthcare, financial, and legal challenges presented by aging parents that need some level of support or care from their children (often with parents uncooperative and children in disagreement as to what to do), can be frustrating and time-consuming. I found The Family Guide to Aging Parents by Carolyn Rosenblatt, a nurse and attorney, to be an invaluable resource that explains the typical problems faced, and how to take practical and effective steps to address them. She tells real-life stories to highlight how to navigate the difficult terrain between the generations to arrive at solutions that can deliver the assistance our parents require in their final years. A must read for all of us with aging parents.(5) -

Price: $24.95 "I especially love the "dumb Doctor Deals" - By LEvans1056
Dr. Rackner knocks the ball out of the park on this one! I especially love the "dumb Doctor Deals." She has inside information on how physicians think, how they avoid dealing with personal finances out of no-time, no-interest, no-knowledge. It is very informative for those of us who are interested in working with physicians and want to understand how to best serve them. She wrote the book for both physicians and financial professionals. Well written and entertaining.(1) -

"... little different than the typical "how to" book for good financial health" - By persnickity reader
This is a little different than the typical "how to" book for good financial health. It merges information and personal well being as a basis for financial decisions in a way that I found honest and grounding. The 44 words/message deck in the center of the book are thought- provoking and I plan to go back to them again and again. A fast and accessible read that offers surprising depth for those looking to think a little more about what they want before rushing off to take action.(5) -

The Prescription for Financial Health: An Authoritative Guide for Physicians, 2nd Editionby Joel Blau- In Stock.
Price: $43.00 "This book is a present for our son who is ..." - By renkier
This book is a present for our son who is a new MD. Finances are a topic not taught in medical school that is vitally important to physicians, with their massive medical school debts. When my wife was a hospital administrator dealing with renting hospital space to doctors for their practices, it became readily apparent to her that the physicians didn't have the financial background necessary to represent themselves during negotiations. This would put her in a curious situation representing the hospital, but also trying to look out for the physicians. Possessing the knowledge in this book could have prevented a lot of the issues she has experienced over the years.(1) -

List Price: $308.00 Price: $105.20 You Save: $202.80 (66%) "I'm reading this as if it was a novel - excellent stuff." - By Ciaran A. Benson
I'm a software engineer and have no idea about accounting principles or fiscal responsibilities, so when I was nominated and elected to serve on the board of my community center I was lost when the budgets started coming out.
A friend gifted me this book (I had no idea how much it cost!) and it is so much better than I would have ever expected that I have been reading it from cover to cover. Even though the focus is on the finances, every page I turn reveals some new aspect of nonprofit life that makes everything I'm doing on the board both more meaningful and effective.
I had expected a reference manual, but this reads much more like a well crafted college-level text book. It provides the context for the information, then the information - so nearly everything I'm reading is directly applicable to what ... full review(4)
