New Patient Empowerment Site at About.com

As any longtime reader of this site can tell you, DrRich has been a chronic champion of the idea that patients - having been systematically marginalized by the healthcare system - need to educate themselves; and indeed, that the very best form of health insurance is to empower yourself with knowledge.

Accordingly, DrRich is delighted to welcome Trisha Torrey to the About.com family of health sites. Trisha is an articulate, passionate and experienced patient advocate, and her advice will be of great help to anyone trying to navigate the medical maze. Please check out her new site on Patient Empowerment here - and be sure to bookmark it for those times when you need expert advice on where to turn.
