Good Afternoon World!
First a thought – Which comes first? - “the doctor empowered patient” or the “patient empowered patient”. Why do we think we need doctors to empower us? We already have the power to manage our own health care.
The following is an example of something I feel empowered about and I did it myself. I got tired of the “scare tactics” of some health care professionals regarding getting the “best available”, when good is good enough for me.
I got tired of paying for paying such a high price for eyeglasses, so I just went to an optometrist and just got a prescription, including my pupil to pupil distance. With that information I could go anywhere and get the prescription filled. In my case, I chose Zenni Optical - Complete prescription eyeglasses from $8.00. I am well pleased with the results, feel empowered, and saved hundreds of dollars.

Good Luck! Feel your own power, my friends.
Next on my list is to get ready to see my own doctor for my annual physical, with the results of my own “do it yourself doctoring”. I'll let you know how it works out.
