*Image: I went to see Tim Ferriss, the Author of the Four Hour Work Week speak at USC last Friday. He was nice enough to write me a note with his autograph! He wrote: “To Vanessa, Here’s to thinking big and doing the uncommon! Blog hard and work smart = ) Pura Vida, Tim Ferriss”
He rocks my socks!

The Patient Involvement campaign works for parents and teenagers on multiple levels because it’s about helping everyone take charge of their health care. The program’s useful for parents because it develops questions not just for the patient, but on behalf of the patient, in this case children. The program gives you multiple questions that you might not even think are important but that could help improve your health and impact the choices you make. For parents again, the program’s especially critical because children aren’t informed enough to ask what tests they should be getting or how a prescription might affect them down the road. It’s a parent’s responsibility to make sure they get as much detailed information as they can.
For teenagers, looking at questions to ask your doctor or clinician is an important part of taking charge of your health care, especially right before college, where you won’t have your parents to help you discuss medication choices, medical tests, and treatment facilities. Asking questions as a teenager is the first step in getting actively involved in your health care for the rest of your life.
