How to Research Health Care Prices

B'SD

30 Nisan, 5777

Today the Jewish world celebrates the start of the month Iyar. The Hebrew letters of the word are an acronym for the phrase "I am GOD your Healer."

We humans can make our utmost efforts to cope and/or to heal, but success depends on having GOD's help with them. Pray, do nice things for yourself and others, and practice feeling calm. That can only improve your chances of success.

This Wall Street Journal article is a classic. It might help you in your coping plus healing efforts.

Info on Organizations WILLING to Pay Part or ALL of Your Specific Medical Bills!

B'SD

24 Nisan, 5777

Whew, the Passover/Pesakh holiday is a lovely memory and I'm back at work, writing more articles. I actually edited a medical research paper and a Master's in Public Health thesis before the holiday began. Now I'm focused on mental health issues and medical content for various news site editors.

I watched the video about medical bankruptcy below and wanted to shout: "Would you believe that I know of a book which clues you in to organizations willing to pay some or all of your specific medical bills?"

Here's WHAT to Do about RUDE Medical Professionals

B'SD

16 Nisan, 5777

The first night of Passover/Pesakh was a spiritual and delicious treat. I was even able to be of practical help to friends whose son had broken his ankle hours before the holiday began. 


I demonstrated how to safely cool down the hot, swelling limb inside his cast, how to reduce the swelling and how to prevent it from happening again. The youngster enjoyed an hours-long, pain-free Passover seder with us.


Back to business. I read the article below

Yocheved Golani "Fascinated by the exquisite attention people devote to getting hilkhot Pesach (the laws of Passover) right. I find myself wondering: what if we took our obligations towards other people and their dignity just as or even more seriously? What if we found the idea of hurting or embarrassing another human being as intolerable and unbearable as we find the thought of a crumb of leaven remaining in our homes? A glimpse of what religion could be, should be, must be." -- Rabbi Shai Held, co-founder of New York's Mechon Hadar

Exciting News!

B'SD

13 Nisan, 5777


While I'm enjoying the freshness and fun of my fully functional Passover/Pesakh Mode kitchen, I'm taking time to respond to editors seeking my input for future online and print articles.

I have exciting book reviews coming up and I'll be responding to Questions for Life Coaches. You can be sure that I'll share relevant publication news with you. Who knows? You might come across something that suits you, too!

No matter which holiday you celebrate this season, spend time thinking over the significance of spirituality. It's purpose is to make us more compassionate, more willing to share our resources, and more resilient when we face hardships. Spirituality practiced correctly helps us to rise above our limitations. We can become wonderful, accomplished, insightful, nicer than we have been.

My frequently used tool for helping someone is the Enneagram, a method for understanding the quirks of human personalities and the tools for working with them in productive ways.

Here's a bit of insight on how I help people to deal with unhappiness, disappointment, pain and life in general:

 I had an amusing conversation with a therapist who asked me to help her to write a thesis about the wisdom of using the Enneagram. I replied "But I can do that in one sentence: You will learn that a person's characteristics are 'givens,' not a matter of good or bad, just 'givens' that can be dealt with in specific ways." After she gulped, I added "I am not advocating that personality, thought or mood disorders are acceptable. They are exceptions to the rule."


Certified in counseling skills and in spiritual chaplaincy (the ability to discuss end-of-life issues), I write for a mental health site at http://www.e-counseling.com/

I'm a life coach for ill people, helping them to identify the goals they need to reach, then to prepare a plan for achieving those goals.

A former medical coder/Health Information Management professional, I'm well-versed in the medical world's ins and outs, acquainted with astonishing people and cutting-edge treatments. 

Certified in Counseling Skills, and one of the first certified EMETT leaders (I no longer lead EMETT groups), I have studied psychology throughout my adult life.

Medical and mental health professionals have endorsed the EMPOWER Yourself book on and off the covers.

I maintain a database of ever-updated medical information to help people to connect with the medical professionals and medical care, appliances, medication, etc. that they need. I even clue people in on cost-cutting programs that pay all or some of their specific medical bills. The book's Global Resources section holds much of that information.
