Conversations with Pam: The Power of INFORMED(TM) Healthcare takes readers on a journey through the last century of medicine to reveal how small, incremental changes created today's healthcare crisis. Instead of fostering informed consent and patient-centered care, institutional medicine has become a monopoly that prizes compliance, groupthink and profit over health.
From the rise of the American Medical Association to the failures exposed during COVID-19, Pam Popper shows how patients have been pressured into blind trust-often at the expense of their health-while disease mongering and overmedication have turned healthy people into perpetual patients.
But the story isn't all bleak. This book empowers readers to become INFORMED(TM) consumers of their own healthcare, ask better questions, demand true informed consent and choose practitioners who prioritize informed healthcare discussions over blind allegiance to a broken system. The shift has already begun.
