LIVRO Missy’s Story and a Health Care Surrogate’s Survival Guide (English Edition) PDF Patricia Meyer

A story about love and friendship in both the worst of times and the best of times. As well as a walk through the daily struggles of our health care system and the government with someone who has been diagnoised with Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis. And later dealing with the prescription drug addiction, abuse and recovery from all of the over prescribed opioids.More than 1.6 million Americans live every day with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and indeterminatecolitis, three chronic, incurable, and debilitating inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) that cause crippling abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, rectal bleeding, fever, and weight loss, among other symptoms. IBD often prevents patients from working or attending school. Frequently, they end up hospitalized with life-threatening complications. Every year, the Social Security Administration holds hearings to add illnesses to its Compassionate Allowance List (CAL). We urge the White House to require the SSA to convene a hearing to add IBD to this list in order to expedite the approval of benefits for patients living with these chronic, incurable, and debilitating digestive diseases.
