“All of us have experienced the fragmentation and depersonalization that characterize medicine in 21st century America. This flawed system has hurt Margo Corbett more than once. However, rather than curse the darkness, she has lit a bright candle. Applying her business expertise in systems and procedures to her own bad experiences with medicine, she has developed a personal health record system to help the average person avoid medical errors and misdiagnosis, and instead get the best chronic disease management and best possible medical care. I hope that all of my patients learn and use her system.” - Steven L. Brown, MD, PhD. Cardiologist & Associate Professor Internal Medicine Texas Tech University. Author of Navigating The Medical Maze

“Lead Your Way to Better Healthcare and now, The Savvy Patient’s Toolkit just may be the best healthcare guide of the decade! Not only does Margo Corbett’s volume empower patients to become actively engaged in their own medical care as partners with their healthcare team, it gives the patient the know-how to lead the partnership with confidence and trust. And, at the heart of this powerful relationship between patient, patient advocate and caregiver are the stories they share. The outcome can only be better medical care and better health.” - Jimmy Neal Smith.  Founder & President, International Storytelling Center

“Margo Corbett has set the stage for a revolution in the way we see ourselves and our care. The paradigm shift she has created is the missing piece. While healthcare professionals are scrambling to tackle the problem, the system will remain broken until they are met as equal partners by the patients they serve. Margo eloquently makes the case for how we must embrace our medical care with responsibility and commitment, giving heart to all of us who desire to see a transformation in our relationship with ourselves, our stories, our bodies, and with those who are trained to facilitate and manage our medical care.” - Richard Stone.  Health Care Storytelling Consultant. Author, The Healing Art of Storytelling

“This is the most comprehensive book I’ve ever seen to help healthcare professionals help you. It will save time, trouble and maybe even a life.” - Lyn Eib.  Cancer Patient Advocate. Author, Finding the Light in Cancer’s Shadow and When God & Cancer Meet

“Finally, a resource book that can improve doctor patient communication and help patients direct their medical care. Applying the principles in this book will help you partner with your doctor to maximize your health.” - Joseph Grant, MD.  Orthopedic Surgeon.

.

“It is a valuable book for anyone who encounters the current complex medical system. The medical forms and encouragement to take charge are exactly what one should do. Thanks for the opportunity to see this text.” - Dan Francis.  CEO Innovative Care System

.

“Margo Corbett presents us with a manual for effective doctor patient communication. Healthcare providers as well as patients should be interested in this volume since most malpractice suits result from poor doctor patient communication rather than poor practice. Furthermore, she gives due deference to the role of spiritual care in restoring health.” - Diane M. Komp, M.D.  Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics (Hermatology-Oncology). Yale University School of Medicine.  Author of  The Healer’s Heart
