Post image for Family Practitioner Says Healthcare Reform Begins at Home

Diana Rosetti from CantonRep.com reports that “watching politicians on television outline ways to save taxpayer dollars through health care reform spurred Dr. Cynthia J. Koelker into action.” Koelker is not your ordinary doctor; she makes house calls and keeps her practice small in order to establish close relationships with her patients. She stresses that patients should constantly ask their doctors questions, and be proactive in their healthcare. Koelker says, “I thought I could write a list of 100 things people could do today, so I sat down at my kitchen table and did it.” Koelker published a book entitled “101 Ways to Save Money on Healthcare” which reveals information medical professionals know and other’s do not.

Instead of assuming your doctor knows everything about you make sure to update them each year with your medications, symptoms, vitamins, allergies, herbal supplements, any reactions to substances and most importantly your complete medical history.
