Book excerpt: A trip to the doctor's office is rarely celebrated and almost always feared-not just for the possibility of discovering one is sick but also because of the time, effort, money, and frustration that are involved in receiving care. The work of the doctor providing help is often no less frustrating. As Dr. Tanu Shweta Pandey describes in this firsthand account of the world of a doctor's office, improving health is an act of teamwork fraught with challenges: both the doctor and the patient need to pull their weight to achieve success. A specialist in women's health, Dr. Pandey offers insight into common health concerns raised by women, including sexual desire, physical consequences of women's footwear, and breast cancer. Dr. Pandey also tackles healthcare itself, using real-life patient cases to demonstrate the challenges found in navigating the system and how advocacy and improved patient health literacy are necessary to keep the population healthy in the future. Dr. Pandey's narrative offers a personal look at where healthcare has been, where it stands, where it is going, and how it affects our lives.
